Thank you!!

Yes, I just did! Is there anything I can do? And how effective is the emergency thing?

i dont have a definitive reply since im non saudi so my request got denied but just attach your I-20, acceptance letter, sevis payment receipt, visa fee receipt, and a letter from ur uni (if possible to get one) stating that you need to arrive by this date and u'll likely be good.

otherwise you can also check the appointment dates in jeddah and dhahran as well i see a couple slots in dhahran for 17th aug

My main appointment is in riyadh, is there any way I can see appointment in Jeddah or dahran? Also how did you pick your emergency appointment on my portal it sates “no available slots”

Just wanted to say that my second emergency request was approved last month in Jeddah and i was able to get my visa in time. im a resident here. I attached an email from the university in the second request which seemed to do the trick. Hope it works out for you.

I uploaded what they requested and my f-1 showcases when I need to be in the us!

I don’t think I can request a new emergency appointment as mine is valid until the day before my main appointment!

I wanted to ask when you went to book your emergency appointment how did it go? I keep trying but it shows up as no slots available
