From my experience, whenever you have time just log in and see if there is any closer open date. My first appointment was 10 months away, but i was keeping my eyes open everyday and luckily i got one November last year which was 3 weeks after i submitted DS160. Went for interview and got 10years Visa, expiring 2032.
Very nice.. did you get it on RTD?

Hello,

I want to apply for US visa and filling out DS160 form. I don't have any plans yet but planning to go around Christmas with my sister to Newyork. I am in vancouver. There is a question about intended stay address and length of stay. What should i put in all these fields as we don't have any bookings yet. we will do once I get visa. Anyone can help on this one please? TIA

Hi folks!
Today I had visa interview at us consulate Toronto. Everything was ok. I got approved. Most important documents:
1) Ds160
2) notice of decision (original)
3) photo
4) passport/travel document

They did not ask for any other documents. Like bank statements, hotel or flight reservations.
But I think the most important question what do you do for work? They ask this question to every single person.
Hello Brother

can you help me to fill DS160

I have Travel document and PR card.

#1) in Passport Type - should I select Other ?

#2) if I select other - There is window - Explain - What should I write in Explain ? ( can I ask to share what did you put in Explain ? )

#3) with Canadian RTD and PR - Canadian Permanent SIN number will be my National Identification Number RGT ?

Thank you in Advance and waiting for your valuable inputs

I hope someone can help with this inquiry. My partner applied for a US B2 visa last week and was able to secure an interview date at the Calgary consulate for July 2025. I understand that to try and reschedule for an earlier interview date, we have to keep checking the portal for cancellations. My questions are:

1) Is there a limit to the number of reschedules we can do? I have heard rumors ranging from 3-5 reschedules an applicant is allowed before they are locked from any further reschedules on the portal. Does any one know if this true?

2) The consulate we applied out of is Calgary. However, if we find an earlier interview date at a different consulate/embassy (for example Vancouver/Ottawa), can we go ahead and schedule that earlier date? Is this allowable, or is it a practice frowned upon by consulate/embassy officials?

Yes to both. No limit on reschedule and you can cancel after securing nearby appointment

So the visa is not revoked? Your friend said no because he didn’t receive any email. Looks like everything is ok.
