I’ve been trying nonstop to secure a J‑1 visa appointment, but every available slot I see is after my program start date. I literally spent the past week refreshing the appointment website over and over, but no luck so far.
Does anyone here actually manage to find earlier slots by constantly refreshing?
Hey everyone, I’m curious if anyone here had their J‑1 visa interview done in a 3rd country (not their home country). How did that process go for you? Were there any extra hurdles, delays, or issues compared to interviewing back home?
Guys, I applied for my DS-2019 and paid on April 9th, but my application is still showing “in review.” For those who already went through this, how long did it take you to actually receive your DS-2019 after applying?
