A lot of Indian students who plan to renew their F1 visa for January 2025 are finding it very difficult to get the appointment slots through Dropbox. You may not be alone if you have been trying since August and can only see the availability through October.
It seems that November and December 2024 got filled up pretty fast, and perhaps the appointment slots for January 2025 have not been opened up yet. The opening of slots is quite unpredictable. As many students report, the new slots generally appear between 2 to 3 AM IST. It is not certain whether this happens every day or on specific days.

It has proven to be difficult to find an open appointment spot due to the high demand for F1 renewals at this time of year, especially for the students preparing to return for the spring semester. Frequent and off-peak hour monitoring of the visa appointment system often pays off. Several applicants have reported trying times in the early morning with success.
If this still doesn’t work, try looking for several consulate locations or wait for announcements regarding releases of more appointments close to your travel date.
