hello trojans, ive found myself in a really sticky situation and was wondering if any fellow internationals have a word of advice.

im a returning sophomore, and i had to renew my visa this summer because my f-1 visa from highschool expired as of this may. my interview was conducted on the 31st of july, and since then my visa has been undergoing processing.

the problem is that classes start on the 24th, and i still have not received my visa or my passport. i dont know if ill be able to make it to USC by the start date, or even the end of August. what do i do at this point? i contacted office of international studies, but received no reply yet. is my only option to wait til the spring semester?
