My first time to apply USA because I see appointment time wait

[@oladunnizainab8725]

Hi Mandy, Thank you so much for your videos. I’m a medical student outside the US and I applied for an elective rotation in the US but my Visa got denied earlier this year after requesting an expedited date which got approved so I rescheduled my rotation date and reapplied for Visa after few months. However my interview date is way after the rotation start date. I applied for an expedited visa request with detailed documents to back up my claim but got denied. Can I reapply for the expedited visa to try again maybe I will get lucky? I have made full payments for the rotation and I really don’t want to loose it.

Hi Mandy, what would you do if your appointment falls on a holiday?

Check with the Embassy or Consulate where you plan to apply to ensure that your appointment will remain as scheduled. Embassies and Consulates operate on US calendars, so they may sometimes be open during local holidays, and they may sometimes open additional interviews on other days to address lengthening wait times.

It has been 4 weeks of waiting and we don't know if this is normal waiting. We are getting concerned about the validity dates of the I-797 NOA.
