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 messages, one detail kept surfacing. Almost none of
them said when. “Hyderabad open” would set off a
stampede, and half the people racing for it were chasing something that had
been taken twenty minutes earlier. The information was free and abundant;
what was missing was any way to tell whether it was still worth acting on.
That is the entire reason this service exists. Not more
alerts — datable ones. Every message we send carries the age of the sighting
and how many people independently reported it, so the decision to drop
everything and race is yours, made on facts you can check.
What we are, plainly
- Operated by Tarson Technologies, a registered Indian
business with a GST registration. VisaSlotsPlus is the name of the service;
Tarson Technologies is the company that runs it, invoices you and is
accountable for it.
- 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 consulates 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.
