When Does the Calendar Open for CR1 visa in Nigeria once expedite request has been approved?

When Does the Calendar Open for CR1 visa on Nigeria's CGIfederal website  once expedite request has been approved? They sent us an email to go ahead and schedule an appointment but the calendar is not there. Instead there is a message that says. "There are currently no appointments available." Please if anyone has been in a similar situation how long does it take for the calendar to open? I assumed that if the case requires expedited processing then the calendar should already be opened once the expedite has been approved.

Same for everybody, you just need to keep checking.

I think basically all available appointment slots have been taken. And there are limited slots for interviews due to huge backlog caused by the pandemic. You'll need to be constantly checking and hope you get lucky.

Not necessarily, particularly pertaining to the embassy/consulate in Nigeria, the calendar could be closed for one person and opened for another. Which is what I am currently experiencing.
