Thank you for contacting the Student/Exchange Visitor Visa Center.

A check of the consular records at the U.S. Embassy in Riyadh indicates that your F-1 student visa application is currently undergoing administrative processing in order to verify your visa qualifications.

Administrative processing usually lasts about 60 days or less, but can take longer in some instances. We realize that any period of wait can be frustrating, and we are sensitive to the fact that the purpose of the nonimmigrant visa program is to facilitate legitimate travel to the United States. Nonetheless, the U.S. Embassy in Riyadh, like all U.S. Embassies and Consulates, must adjudicate visas in accordance with the provisions of the law.

While we cannot predict when the processing of your case will be completed, please be assured that the Embassy and the State Department are aware of your concerns and will do all we can to see that it adjudicated as soon as your qualifications have been verified. When complete, or if additional information from you is needed, you will be notified by the consular staff in Riyadh.

We hope this information is helpful.

Regards,
