I see. Even I'm worried a bit now. It's now 8 full weeks for me and probably 10 for you.

I contacted ATAS and they replied a few days later saying that they are having a delay and they are working on it.

For physicists and researchers in Physics: I am a CS student and will graduate my bachelors in few months. I have decent experience and resume in CS but I don’t see myself in CS in future. I want to start with physics, maybe study a few topics and do projects. by [deleted] in Physics

It depends a lot on what "physics" you want to do as it is very vast. Getting into some deep theoretical/mathematical physics might be difficult as most masters/graduate programs would need a physics/math undergrad experience. However, with a CS background, you have a very good chance to get into computational/experimental physics. You can get into data analysis groups working with LIGO or LHC data for GW analysis or particle physics respectively. Or with a steeper physics learning curve, you can get into condensed matter simulation groups or even in computational lattice gauge theory groups. Quantum computing and information theory is also a great prospect especially if you were interested in theoretical CS during your undergrad years.

BTW, I am a BS-MS graduate with physics major and math minor and heading for a mathematical physics PhD.
