The time that it takes to apply for a F1 student visa varies with individuals and circumstance. The entire process can take as short as 1 week, but may also extend to a few months for more complex cases.

There are several key steps in the application process that may require more time, and you should take note of these:

1. Scheduling a visit to the US embassy typically takes about 3 days, but do expect a longer wait if the US embassy is experiencing high volume
2. Application processing time could vary between 3 day to a few weeks depending on volume
3. If the embassy finds issues with your application, the processing time may stretch up to a few months

For an estimate of the current appointment and processing times at the US embassy, you should refer to the the US Department of State's website.
