 Here's my prediction for the slot opening for all the refused candidates. There are two scenarios which can happen. Number one, the slots open sometime between mid of July to first week of August. Number two, a surprise opening. So based on what happened last year, the embassy initially said that they were going to open in August but they ended up opening much much earlier, in fact two weeks earlier. The same thing could happen this year also which means that the slots might open around 10th of July itself. So the broad timeline to keep in mind is somewhere around 10th of July to 10th of August. And here's what you need to do. You need to stay prepared because these slots might come at any point of time. So make sure that your DS162 form is filled and reviewed, your documents are ready and you're working on structuring your answers as well as practicing it. You really need to nail this attempt that you're going to get for the visa interview.
