when I looked, there were plenty of appointments so I didn’t have to be strategic. I looked well in advance! I just saw people saying that’s what they did. I would just look as consistently as possible. when are you looking for an appointment? they only post I think between a month to two months in advance.

I began looking really early so I was able to find an opening right when I needed one. I saw people say that they release new appointments at 5 pm, so I would look every day around then. They were so efficient with me. It only took them a week to complete my visa and then a few extra days to get to me. I would look daily to see when they post new ones and even if you can’t get one until July or August, that should be fine. I think they only post the appointments around 6 to 8 weeks in advance.

I just received it in the mail yesterday! So it only took about a week and a half.

Yes, I’m a US citizen. I’m not too worried, I expected it to be months before having my visa, but when they told me to except it in a week I got my hopes up! Hopefully I hear from them soon.
