Check your visa status

December 22, 2014 12:57 am | Updated 12:57 am IST - HYDERABAD:

My F1 visa was approved in November 2014 at the U.S. Consulate in Hyderabad. I have not received my passp-ort until now. How long will I have to wait before receiving my passport with a visa in it? Is there an address to track my passport status?

Check the status of your visa at https://ceac.state.gov/CEAC/ and if the status shows ‘issued’, log onto: www.ustraveldocs.com/in/in-loc-passportcollection.asp for passport collection locations and timings.

My current F1 visa is valid until 2019. I returned to India in June due to health reasons. Now, I want to go to a different university by paying the SEVIS fee. Can I go to the U.S. by paying the SEVIS fee for a new I-20 or do I need to schedule another visa interview?

If your student visa is less than five months old, and the SEVIS number, programme and university has not changed, you should be able to travel to the U.S. on the current visa. Please visit www.ustraveldocs.com/in to apply for a new visa.
