good afternoon, I faced an unclear situation for myself, I was interviewed in Frankfurt and the consul said that the visa for you and your family was approved, the passports will be issued in a week. After the past week, we did not receive a passport, and 10 days later we saw on the website the status that our case was under administrative inspection.The difficulty is that the email address specified in d160 has ceased to be valid and there is no access to it anymore.Perhaps the consulate requested any documents and we did not provide them. We wrote several letters to the consulate with different statuses to receive a response and they replied once that the case was being checked. How to find out what to do now, it seems that the matter is at a dead end, because we do not understand what exactly they want from us since the mail does not work and the one we wrote to the consulate did not ask for any additional information?

Hi, I had applied for my student F1 visa in 2020 right before the pandemic hit. I had to adjust it from a B1/B2 to F1 and I am in the US. I've been waiting since for my visa to be approved and USCIS have messed up my papers on 3 separate occasions and I had to reapply each time. I had hired a lawyer to help me apply but unfortunately she had informed me that all we can do at this point is wait. Please help because I don't know what to do at this point and it hurts so much because my friends and family back home have actually completed their course and they're doing their masters.
