The day I went to the interview in the embassy was the same day I got it approved, however not everyone has the same luck. The girl that was before me in the line got hers rejected because the embassy is being now more strict with young people (like 20-25 years) because they dont want them to stay in the USA and live there, so here in Venezuela is pretty hard to get that visa approved, although you could try and get yours approved because your situation is different (youre already there, etc) and it always help to have a good record in their computer, by good record I mean something like going there like once a year -and I think it also helped that Ive had my tourist`visa since like I was born
In the embassy here in Caracas they tell you if youre approved the same day that you go to your appointment

From the day you applied to the university, how long did it take for you to receive the i-20 forms from the university.
