Hello. How long does it take to get feedback after application or submission

I had my visa interview at the US embassy Accra Ghana on 9th June 2022. On that day I couldn't believe how the interview was conducted. It took me more than a year of preparation but on that day it took the consular officer less than two minutes to deny me a visa. It was not necessarily that I under performed nor presented any falsifying documents but rather it seems like the decision had already been taken before my arrival. I had my financial documents with the account balance 3times the annual tuition fee and total cost of living,an affidavit of support,a GPA of 3.4 and so many other supporting documents but that sad thing was that the consular officer didn't request for any of these important documents, the only document she requested was the I-20 and the passport. I felt sad seeing a lot of F-1 applicant going through the same situation that day with much frustration and anger all because their cases were not properly treated. Us provides Millions of United States tax payers money as aid to Ghana and almost all Africa countries but has this made any significant change in the lives of Africans? Money that could have been used to build the US are being wasted as Aids in Africa meanwhile our problems keeps aggravating day in day . Africans are dying trying to flee to the EU, crossing US Mexican boarder . The US and the EU spend millions of tax payers money to control their boarders in other to stamp out Africa migrants boarders. But I ask myself is Africa truly a hell? With all these resources gold, bauxite,timber and many more not to talk of the rich fertile land yet still we are the most hungry people on this planet. This problem is even getting worse as developed countries are beginning to have internal problems like climate change and it's associate distractions, impact on war on the global economy and migration crises,this is making every country to think more for himself. If every country for himself who will be there for Africa. The mostly frequently ask question during F-1 visa interview is why America? My best answer to this question is where did Elon Musk had his breakthrough from? Australia?UK? or Canada? Imagine Africa had 10 Elon Musk on this continent to tackling African hunger by investing in agriculture as in space x ,will there an empty stomach on the continent? Will Africans flee from the only land they have known in search of a better lives in an unknown world. I have always dreamt of being Elon Musk one day,not Elon Musk of Tesla nor Space x but rather Elon Musk of our own world whereby one day our people could proudly say we have achieved enough for ourselves and hence the price of risking our lives in searching of abetter live elsewhere is not worth it. I chose mathematics on my 1-20 but my plans was to persue Agricultural engineering upon arrival. My dream is now under jeopardy but the hope is not lost. My message to the Us embassy Accra Ghana is that the first failure is just a warm up,I have not given up yet because is not over until is over. I will keep knocking at your door till is over. You can decline me 10 times I will reapply 10 times because knowledge is the only tool we can use to change our world. Thank you
