talk2dekky: Hello Everyone, please I applied for a Dropbox because my current us visa will expire this week. But it was approved and it is asking Mt to schedule consular appointment. Is this the norm? Hi where you able to pick a date and also did that mean it was dropbox cos i'm experiencing the same. |

@talk2dekky I wanted to find out if you were able to book the appointment and if that also meant dropbox because i'm trying to renew my parents visa and i'm seeing the same thing which is a little bit confusing.
For context, I'm trying to renew B1/B2 for my parents and the site is saying they need to select a date to appear for an interview even tho they qualify for dropbox. |
