Yeah, i read. kudos to you for the same.

Guys I don't see appointment in June and July Only in August in consulate near me Should I choose earliest?

Ok guys. Guys, I’ve got a question. What are refusal slots? My visa request got denied and all agents say that there are something called refusal slots for people with rejected visas. But I haven’t read anything official about this. Are you guys aware if these exist and whether the wait time on these is >300 days? If yes, could you point me to a source other than visa agents saying it so?

It’s tough. The page is made that way. We have better technology for such load balancing.

Yes. That’s what I see online. But here’s where I am confused. Agents whom I would pay for their services are refusing to offer them when they hear about the rejection and talk about refusal slots. That makes me afraid that there might be some truth to it. I do not have a problem in getting a slot in fastest finger first fashion. My only problem is trying to figure out if those slots are available to me at all 🙁
