If you don’t have backup options, wait for the expedited transfer to get approved before you declare.

Corporate strategy is NOT risky. Other unrelated “different” job profiles to your education or work experience are

Anyone here who has rescheduled several times their visa interview appointment w/ embassy outside US. Allowed to schedule twice w/o penalty. On the 3rd time, it needs to be cancelled. Does yours say to wait 90 days to rebook and were you able to book immediately on the 91st day? Just wanted to know what you’ve went through ie, if there are other requirement needed when you cancel and then use the MRV fee.
