Hello
I am applying for a non-immigrating visa (F1) at the US consulate in Bern. I have a non-EU passport, and this is the forth time I am getting the same visa. All other times (from the previous three years...long story) were done in a different country, and they took less than a week to come back to me.
With the system glitch, I was wondering if anyone has any experiences with delays and approximately how long? It says on the website that it takes approximately 5 days to process, but with the backlog, I am a bit nervous. I must leave to get back to the USA on the 2nd September and my appointment is 18 August, so I'm cutting it quite fine I guess. Any information on your very recent experiences would be much appreciated.
Thanks!
