US visa appointment time?

Question

my college sent me an I-20 but unfortunately it got lost after about a month in the postal service system though it was sent tru express.Now i got an earlier appointment date before my I-20 was suposed to come.(2nd January,2008).Now i requsted for a new I-20 a day ago and its been sent tru DHL but my reporting date is on the 15th january and i have to reschedule my F-1 visa appointment,now am desperate and want to know if i can be granted an interview(9th) looking about 6days more for reporting date on my I-20 fro that day.Will they allow me for an F-1 interview looking at the date limit(3 days for visa processing in my country)Do you think i have the chance for an F-1 interview?What can i do to convince them looking at my plight which was automatically not my fault?will they look at my reprting date b4 even granting me an interview?If they even grant me the interview or the visa will they stop processing if they see it will eat into my reporting date,or are they going to process it

Answer 1

Well, all you can do is ask. You can check the embassy website on usembassy.state.gov and visa wait times at travel.state.gov going through the visa section for nonimmigrant visas. Visa sections do try to prioritize student applications but obviously time is very short, so don't ask us, ask the nonimmigrant visa section at the US embassy in your country. They're the only ones who can really answer your question.

Answer 2

Request for a re-adjustment of your interview and hope that it will be considered.
