There are agents in india who charge rs 10k-15k to get earlier appointment… no magic wand here… they have the team who keep refreshing the appointment availability every few seconds and as soon as anything opens up, they block the date

Its millions $ question. Unless there is no medical emergency you need to keep checking availability and book slots.

Same issue - looking for B1/B2 appointments in India as well. Is there a way one can apply/get a visa appointment and stamping from another country (while on a tourist visa)? Haven't explored this route but posting here to see if someone tried it out 🤷‍♀️

Keep checking- there are slots opening sooner - so you can move the dates around - but also depends on the embassy you are applying from- how busy does it get.

My wife and I are moving to Boston from overseas (we’re from Italy and we’ve recently won the diversity visa green card lottery).

We are looking to rent a 1BR starting in January, ideally for ~$3k/month. I’ll be working in the downtown area.

Do you recommend we go for a serviced/luxury apartment (e.g. Montaje, 345 Harrison, etc.) or hire a broker to get a “normal” apartment?

Any managed buildings recommendations within our budget? Also, what are some good brokers we could work with?

Thanks!
