Hey 🤠

1. You should be able to achieve your desired dates ( perhaps, Nov/Dec, 2024) with the new -three (3) lifelines (2x reschedule , 1x Expedient appointment) provided by the embassy.

2. Your current January , 2024 date will not disappear or annulled automatically, by mere clicking on reschedule, not, until you finally pick and click on another date, and the system automatically refreshed in confirmation of your new pick. Therefore, you can click on the reschedule option 100 times and back off ( if there is no favourable dates in the previewed calendar).

3. For now till end of October, you should keep using the reschedule option to search for nearer dates, in which i believe you should achieve prior to the given time . There is no official or authorised Nairaland Date-search group known to me as at this moment.

Best Wishes 🙏

Good afternoon everyone, please I kindly need answers

I have currently applied for an F1 visa and have been scheduled for 7th January but my school resumes 6th. I would like to confirm if I can click on reschedule on the new site incase I get to see a closer date luckily. It shows that I have 2 reschedules. Now my question is this, if I click on the reschedule, will it annul the date that has already been confirmed (7th) or should I wait and apply for an emergency date? I am in a pickle right now and would really appreciate any help in moving forward. THANK YOU.

@OyoTunjiUSA I would really appreciate your input sir.

Also if there is any group where we try to find dates or just any group in general that is F1 based, kindly reply to this so I can get to join. THANK YOU.
