@NewBoyKhashoggi. thank you sir.

Hello everyone. Kindly assist.
I submitted My B1 visa application MID Dec 2023, and was on the look out to be placed on visa interview appointment.
My intended conference participation is billed for march 2024.
The dashboard to pick available dates keeps displaying available interview dates and slots beginning from Jan 2025.
I kept checking up for a possible reversal of dates, but noticed the dates keeps going forward. January 2025 slots got completely filled, and moved into February 2025.
I had to pick a date in February 2025. Meanwhile its not valid for my intended trip.
Someone told me I should have waited for 10days after applying for interview schedule before finally picking up a date. How true is that?
Are there any options on the dashboard I can get to reschedule my interview dates to 2024 dates favourable to my intention.

Thank you for your guidance.
