S3 Q&A I'm outside the US - what happens after admission?

 Your school issues an Initial I-20 once the deposit and financial documents are in; then you pay the SEVIS I-901 fee, book your F-1 visa interview, and can enter the US up to 30 days before your program start date. Check current visa wait times at your consulate now, because they often decide whether this intake is realistic. Which city would you interview in?
