At the interview at the US consulate in Astana they recently issued administrative processing. The slip says nothing about form DS-5535 — do I need to fill it out, or only if it is explicitly indicated in the documents? And what exactly is a study plan in the paperwork for administrative processing — I can’t understand what it is and why it’s required.

Hi. No — the DS-5535 form is requested separately; you don’t need to send anything yourself, just what they ask for, nothing extra.
Thanks, got it. So what does ‘study plan’ mean on my paperwork if there’s nothing about DS-5535?
study plan is just a description of your program — what you’re studying, where, and what your plans are after your studies. I’ve seen people write three or four pages in detail, semester by semester and by topic; the main thing is to be specific and avoid fluff. Don’t rush it, better to sit on it for a couple of days and write it properly)
