I just put down YES, just in case they wag their fingers for not answering correctly.
But I heard that if you do it, then your appointment will get cancelled about a month before the appointment

Yeah, AVR is still allowed.
I've only run into one CBP officer that asked for confirmation of interview.
He just wanted to make sure I book an interview.

Hi, if you don't mind me asking what date in August is your appointment?

I have an F1 appointment by August 4, I want to know the chances of it getting canceled!

I don't know
The CBP officer was that I didn't have my H-1b visa and asked where it was, and I explained to him that I AOS'ed last year.
He said I'll eventually need to get it and asked for confirmation of interview.
