[MADRID F1] Have any slots opened up in July/August in Madrid recently?

Stuck with a September 14 appointment and trying to figure out if earlier slots have been appearing at all. Has anyone seen any July or August dates pop up in Madrid recently, even briefly? Trying to get a sense of whether it's worth refreshing constantly or if nothing has been showing up.

Any intel appreciated 🙏

[MADRID F1] Can I open a brand new DS-160 application to get a fresh expedited request?

Madrid, Spain here. Georgetown starts Aug 3, my appointment is Sept 14. Expedited request already denied once (submitted too early apparently).

Question: if I open a completely new DS-160 + pay MRV fee again, does that give me a new expedited request, or does the consulate track it by SEVIS ID/passport and deny it again regardless? My SEVIS ID and passport stay the same either way.

Has anyone actually tried this? Worth the $185 or not?

Anyone with an earlier appointment willing to coordinate a cancellation? (Yes I'm that desperate)

Hey, I'm a Spanish student trying to get an earlier F1 visa appointment in Madrid. My program at Georgetown starts August 3 and my current slot is September 14. Expedited was denied. Third country national option is gone. I've been refreshing the portal like crazy.

If anyone has a Madrid appointment before mid-August and is planning to cancel, would you be willing to give me a heads up so I can grab it the second it drops? DMs open.

Also happy to hear from anyone who's managed to find earlier slots in Madrid recently — when do they tend to appear?

Bf, vaya mierdas escribe chatgpt, por favor que alguien me eche una mano o me aconseje que puedo hacer.
