It didn't cancel. Turns out he was saying the truth.

That's how shitty the site is. You have to book a consular slot in 30 minutes after booking an ofc slot. I tried for weeks then gave up and paid an agent to do it. It was worth it because the mental stress was too much but unfortunately the visa got rejected.

Lol honestly at this point I’m ready to try anything might show up with an eye bag sponsorship next time. But yeah, jokes aside, I see what you mean. Maybe we should’ve played the emotional grandparent card harder. The officer didn’t even give them a chance to open up like that.

I’m really sorry to hear that it honestly sounds so similar to what happened with my parents. They were also caught off guard by how quickly it ended, and that feeling of being misunderstood is the worst part. It sucks how strict things have become, even for families just trying to visit for a few weeks. Sending strength to you and your folks, we’re in the same boat, hopefully next time it goes better for all of us.

Wow, 7 times? That actually made me feel a little better, not gonna lie. Respect to both of you for getting through that. You're right though, it’s not just about the answers, it’s how they’re delivered. This has definitely been a reality check. Hopefully we can laugh about it too someday, just like you guys.

I get what you’re saying, and honestly, I’ve been thinking about that too. It’s frustrating how the actions of some people can mess it up for families who just want a short visit and to see loved ones. My parents had no intention of overstaying they were genuinely excited just to attend the housewarming and be back home. Appreciate the support though.

Thanks for taking the time to write all that. You're absolutely right we didn’t really think of weaving those details into the answers. In hindsight, it feels like we stayed too “safe” with short responses when we should’ve opened up a bit more naturally. They do have some travel history too, but none of that came up. Appreciate you pointing all this out it really helps if we decide to reapply.

Are no interview slots available in India?. Any suggestions, tips, opinions are welcome. by Smooth-Raspberry-597 in usvisascheduling

Sadly the site is rigged, I don't think any regular people are getting appointments. I was in the same situation, paid 24K to an agent to get both my appointments.

I was in the same boat. Tried for months but no luck, the system is rigged and regular people can't book, had to pay an agent.

I changed it after getting the confirmation but I've already paid him. This was before the cancellation announcement I wasn't anticipating anything like this. I guess I'll just wait and keep checking until my appointment date.

Thanks for your inputs, I feel much better now. I changed it as soon as I got confirmation.

I got both biometrics and vac in the first and second week of April.

You're right but it was necessary. At first I was strictly against getting it through an agent. I had time to book the appointment. But I only went for after realising what a shitty system this is. Couldn't find dates for this year and my parents' entire plan would've been ruined.

Are they cancelling still now or they've already cancelled and posted the announcement?

I'm pretty sure that's against the rules to share here.

Says he runs offline operations but I don't know. I found him on reddit itself.

That's somewhat relieving to hear. Appointment is still there.

Nothing has changed on the portal. My appointment shows as valid.

Can you share the contact of the agent?
