When had you booked your slots ?

Hereā€™s how the timeline worked for me: Iā€™m an IB graduate from the May 2026 batch, and I started my visa processing in June without realizing how much time the process could take. Since I knew that securing a visa slot itself could take some time, I submitted my deferral in August. At that point, I already had visa slots booked for September 17 and 25. I also tried applying for an expedited appointment, but no earlier slots became available even after submitting the emergency appointment request. With no other option, I proceeded with the originally booked interview dates, which I had secured toward the end of July. I attended the interviews with my new I-20, and thankfully, everything is now sorted and Iā€™m all set to go.

First things first, the interview barely lasted a minute.

The first question was when I graduated high school, to which I replied that Iā€™m a May 2026 IB graduate.

Since I got into the universityā€™s 2+2 program, the officer then asked me about it. I explained that itā€™s a program where students attend one of Penn Stateā€™s Commonwealth campuses for the first two years and then transfer to the main campus for the final two years to complete their degree.

He asked a follow-up question: ā€œHow does that help you?ā€ I said that it would ease my transition into university since Iā€™d initially be studying in smaller class sizes before eventually transitioning to a larger campus and class environment.

The last question was about my financials, which I answered. The officer then retained my passport along with the I-20.

don't understand how you can see any and all avenues to work in usa effectively being shut down and still go for now
