We had an interview later this summer in Tucson (a 13 1/2 hour drive for us) but one opened up in Salt Lake in two weeks so the drive is now reduced to 8 hours. We'll have to do it twice because I am still waiting - only my wife was approved so far.

There was a small improvement. I found a single available appointment at YVR for mid-July. Grabbed it up, but I don't have high hopes of being allowed across the border. Essential? Not essential? Who knows.

Finally the CLE ( oHIo ) area is opening for interviews on July 10th I have the first interview

Well my July 10th appointment/interview has been canceled and now all the open dates listed yesterday are now showing with the X.

MCI just canceled all July appointments. I rebooked for late August. Some dates available now between August 10th and 28th.

Any chance you know why they did this? Did you get a notification about the cancellation? I did not, I checked my MCI July appt out of paranoia, must have caught it early because I was able to reschedule for August 10th.

Got it!

Florida availability
 

Currently, Sanford has slots after October 22nd and almost the full month of November available.

When searching for availability - is it best to search for a specific location (e.g. CLT) and open ended or a time frame ... or just anything in the US with no time listed ... TIA

MCI is closed until early September. I just rebooked for late Sept. Unlike the prior cancellations, there was actually very little to pick from in terms of new dates - just a couple dates in late Sept with nothing in October.

This entire government bureaucracy is a Grade A crapshow.

I updated the date in the Wiki.
Rescheduled for myself to late September as well.

For those in Southern California, the Otay Mesa border crossing next to the Mexico border crossing has daily interview availability for all of September. It's not worth the drive for me right now but next time I do a weekend getaway to San Diego, I'll add a side trip to Otay Mesa...

September in 2021. They are a year booked out. Calexico is about the same.

Looks like more locations opened up this morning ... was able to get ATL for week of 9/14 --- fingers crossed they do open on 9/8 as projected.
