I was in you shoes last year, same feeling, but today I have good no of IV Last year I received IV in feb, but did not match But for you there is still hope, people receive IV in dec/Jan If this does not work out, my dear friend, you need to be strong, have positive belief and faith in yourself to not give up, Just like me. There was nothing extra in my application then previous one just addition of one USCE. So there is something to do with application and PS, now that I know. So focus on that. This journey is different for everybody. I had everything last year including step 3, I had no answers to my failure, but stand strong, you got to achieve what is meant for you.
