Are you referring to the process of getting F1 visa or just the embassy issuance of F1 visa?

The former is lenghty due to university interviews, language + educational evaluation and financial verifications or sponsorship. If you passed all the university requirements for admission then the university will file a F1 petition at USCIS. The processing is 15 to 45 days. The approved documents will be mailed (3-7 days) to you by the school and this documents will be brought to the embassy during your interview. You can now set a date at the embassy for your interview, probably 2 weeks after you will be interviewed. If you are luckily granted the visa, then wait for 1 to 2 weeks for the delivery to your house. The approved documents contains the date of your admission to the university, so you must be in the US before that date.

Good luck.

i dunno. maybe if they are suspecting that you have another agenda while staying there you really have to show or prove them that you'll just go there for further education. lest's not lose hope.:)

In California there are issues regarding classes that normally are full are being cut. Some schools aren't even offering summer school due to the budget cuts. Right now California isn't the place to apply for school. You may want to do some research and maybe find a state where the budget cuts aren't so bad. Another thing you may want to do is to contact someone from the campus so they can give you more updated information. Good Luck

You don't need student visa if you have an immigrant visa.
