The 11 PM Realization: Why You Never Need to Cancel an Interview Over a Flight Ticket
That night taught me something crucial: embassies do NOT require a paid ticket. They need a verifiable flight reservation — a temporary hold in the airline's system with a real PNR. And these can be generated in minutes, even at midnight.
Key Insight: Most visa rejections happen because people either buy expensive real tickets (financial red flag) or show up with NO flight itinerary. A same-day dummy ticket solves both problems instantly.

The Bottom Line: Don't Cancel Your Interview
I almost canceled my $200 visa appointment and rescheduled 3 months later. Instead, I spent $2, got a verifiable dummy ticket in 15 minutes, and walked out with an approved visa.
