What is the next thing to do now, because I don't know. Just here ooo

Let's keep checking the calendar on the dashboard to see if they'd release some new dates in November / December. Alternative option is to pay another Visa application fee
Did you attach your I-20 and SEVIS fee receipt when you applied for the emergency appointment? Also, are you within the 60 days of resumption? What reason did they give for your denial, or what do you feel? We are going to get a date soon. Let's just be prayerful, hopeful and be on the lookout. If you have anyone you can call too, do that.

Yes I attached all necessary documents.

Reasons not stated

I called the support line, the lady said she won't like to give me false hope that there are 100s of appointments, that I should just be vigilant. Incase anybody cancel his/her appointment.

My prayer too, release new dates before January

Sorry, I don't get what you mean by there are 100s of appointments. Do you mean there are still 100s of available slots yet to be released, so we can keep our hopes high?

Congrats bro please can you help me with a mock interview, my visa interview is fast approaching . thanks

Ykxcels:
I wish everyone going for interview tomorrow an open door of favor, a door no man can shut!

I appreciate everyone who has shared their transcript both approval and denial, and everyone who is always here to attend to questions in different shades and manner. All those efforts really help many people. Many who will not even come here to share. So I see it as a debt if I failed to share and contribute my own quota.

I started following this trend properly in May when I got admitted with fully funding for fall, and I had to follow through those arguments of embassy opening before August and all. I didn't defer my admission in faith of the embassy opening until my GPC mailed me to do so. I eventually have no option but to defer to Spring as he told me even if as got a visa mid of August it is going to be late already.

Fast Forward...
Amidst of a lot of heartache and headache, I got a date through the email method
