The thing we noticed
If you have spent any time in a visa slot community you know the shape of it:
hundreds of messages a day, most of them saying nothing is available, punctuated
by a screenshot that sets off a scramble. Everyone sees every message. Almost
nobody can use most of them.
Reading enough of those screenshots, one detail kept surfacing. The scheduling
system only shows you a slot if it has at least as many seats as people on your
application — so a slot with one seat, which set off a stampede in the group, was
literally invisible to half the people racing for it. Applicants with families
were chasing appointments they could never have booked.
That is the entire reason this service exists. Not faster alerts —
relevant ones. The number of seats a slot has is right there in the screenshot,
and reading it turns a firehose into something you can act on.
What we are, plainly
- An independent notification service. Not affiliated with the US government,
any consulate, CGI Federal or VFS Global, and not a visa consultancy.
- Run by one engineer, not a support centre. You are messaging a person.
- Funded by subscriptions only. No advertising, no selling of contact data,
no referral kickbacks from anyone.
- Currently focused on H-1B and H-4 in-person interviews at the
five US posts in India, because that is what we can watch properly.
What we will never be
- A service that asks for your visa-scheduling password.
- A service that books, or claims it can book, on your behalf.
- A service that implies it is connected to a consulate.
- A service that manufactures alerts to look busy during a quiet month.
Why we charge
Because reading screenshots costs money and running a delivery pipeline
around the clock costs money, and a free service in this category eventually
pays for itself in ways you would not like — selling your number, ranking
alerts by who paid, or quietly dying. We would rather charge you honestly for
a service you can leave the moment you have your appointment.
That is also why the pricing is built in blocks rather than as an endless
subscription. If we have done our job, you stop paying us — and hopefully tell
the next person in your position.
