Everything people ask us, answered plainly.

No, and be wary of anyone who says they do. We send you a notification the moment a slot is reported at a consulate you care about. You book it yourself on the official usvisascheduling.com site with your own account. We never ask for your visa-scheduling login, and we could not book on your behalf even if you wanted us to.

The US scheduling system only shows you a time slot if it has at least as many seats free as there are people on your application. A family of three simply cannot see — or book — a slot with two seats open.

Almost every alert service ignores this and forwards every sighting. So if you are applying with your spouse and child, a large share of the alerts you receive are for slots you were never able to book. We filter on the seat count visible in the report, so what reaches you is what you can act on.

We deliver within seconds of seeing a report. The honest constraint is upstream of us: a real applicant has to notice the slot and post it, which typically takes under a minute but is not instantaneous. We stamp every alert with how long ago the slot was seen so you can judge for yourself whether it is worth racing for.

You are not paying for information — that is free and always will be. You are paying not to watch a firehose. A busy slot group produces hundreds of messages a day, almost all of them irrelevant to your consulate, your visa type or your party size, and the one message that matters arrives at 3am among forty that do not.

We read all of it and send you only the part that is yours.

Then you get almost no alerts, and we tell you so rather than going quiet. Our free tier exists partly for this reason: see what the market is actually doing before you pay for anything. And if you receive no alert at all during a paid subscription, we refund it in full.

We are live for H-1B and H-4 in-person interviews at all five US posts in India — New Delhi, Mumbai, Chennai, Hyderabad and Kolkata. F-1, B1/B2 and L-1 are next, and joining the list tells us which to prioritise.

From applicants. Thousands of people check the official scheduling site every day and report what they find to public communities — usually as a screenshot when something is open, and as a short text note when nothing is. We read that stream continuously and turn it into structured records.

We do not poll the booking system, and we hold nobody's scheduling credentials.

It would be, by perhaps a minute. It would also be automated interaction with a system whose terms forbid it, which is why services built that way spend their lives fighting anti-bot measures and can disappear overnight.

There is a second, less obvious reason. A poller only sees what its account can see — one applicant count. A crowd contains people applying alone, as couples, and as families of four, so between them they see slots no single account could. Breadth partly compensates for the speed we give up.

Positive sightings almost always arrive as images, so an alert service that only reads text misses the events that matter. We run vision extraction over every image: consulate, visa type, date, time and the number of seats visible in the slot. That last field is what the whole product turns on, and it exists only in the picture.

Anything nobody reported. If a slot opens at 4am and no applicant happens to be looking, we do not know about it. We also cannot tell you a slot is still there — by the time you read an alert, someone may already have taken it. That is why every alert carries the time it was seen rather than implying it is still open.

In the WhatsApp conversation itself. We ask which consulates, which visa types, your date window and how many people are on your application, using buttons and lists rather than making you type. It takes about a minute, and you can change any of it later by messaging us.

Because it decides what you can see. The scheduling system shows you a slot only if it has at least as many seats free as people on your application, so a family of three simply cannot book a two-seat slot. Knowing your number is what lets us send you alerts you can act on rather than alerts that look promising and are not.

However many match you — we do not ration them. In the current backlog that can mean a handful in a week rather than a stream, because there genuinely is not much opening. There is a high daily ceiling as a runaway-cost safety limit, set well above anything normal usage reaches.

Yes. Message us and we will set quiet hours. Bear in mind that consulate cancellations do not respect them, and overnight releases are often the least contested ones.

Tell us and we will stop. That is the intended ending — this is a service you are supposed to stop needing. If time is left on a paid plan when you get your appointment, message us about it.

The consulates we watch are the five in India. You can be anywhere — plenty of our subscribers are in the US watching Indian posts for a stamping trip — and pricing follows where you are billed.

Yes, and you should. Applicants who watch three or four posts get an appointment materially sooner than those watching one, because releases are not synchronised across posts. There is no extra charge for additional consulates.

Our live coverage is in-person interview slots, which is where the demand moved when interview-waiver eligibility narrowed. Dropbox coverage is on the roadmap; tell us on the form if that is what you need and it moves up the queue.

Planned, not live. We would rather cover two visa types properly than five badly — a service that claims coverage it does not have is the single most common complaint in this category, and we are not going to be another example of it.

Not today. Third-country processing was sharply restricted for Indian nationals, which removed most of the reason anyone was watching posts elsewhere.

Yes, and it is not a crippled demo of a different product. Free subscribers get the same alerts, filtered the same way, 30 minutes later. You will see the service work, and you will see precisely what the delay costs you. If that is enough for your situation, keep it — it does not expire.

Because it matches what actually happens. You need slot alerts until you have an appointment, and in the current backlog that search rarely finishes in four weeks. Buying three months costs less per month than buying one three times, and it means you are not making the decision again in the middle of your search.

If we send you no alert at all during a paid subscription, we refund that subscription in full. It is a real guarantee for a real risk: the calendar in this market can stay empty for weeks, and you should not pay for a period in which we gave you nothing.

It is not a guarantee that you will get an appointment. Nobody can promise that, and anyone who does is lying to you.

Reply STOP on WhatsApp. That is the whole process — no retention call, no form, no waiting for business hours.

Both. Indian customers are billed in INR, US customers in USD. Use the switch above the table to see whichever applies to you.

Launch pricing. Taxes, where applicable, are shown at checkout. We will show you the exact amount before you are charged anything.

You should not, on our say-so. That is why every alert carries the time the slot was seen and the number of independent reports behind it — the two things a fabricated alert cannot honestly supply.

There is also a structural answer. We refund any paid subscription that produced no alerts. A service inventing availability to look busy would be paying out on every quiet week; a service reporting droughts honestly can afford the guarantee.

No. We are an independent notification service with no connection to the Department of State, any consulate, CGI Federal, VFS Global or usvisascheduling.com. Anyone in this category implying otherwise is telling you something untrue, and it is worth checking that on every site you look at.

No. Our data comes from what applicants publicly report. Beyond the legal question, automated polling is fragile: it breaks whenever anti-bot measures change, and it only ever sees what one account can see.

We send you the alerts you asked for. It is not sold, shared, or used to market anything else, and we do not message anyone who has not messaged us first — a rule that is both WhatsApp policy and the reason our number stays usable. Full detail in the privacy policy, and you can have everything deleted by emailing support@visaslotsplus.com.

The system watches its own sources and raises an alarm if one stops delivering, because a broken feed and a quiet market look identical from outside. If we are down for a meaningful part of your subscription, tell us and we will extend or refund it. We would rather lose the revenue than have you sitting on a dead alert feed believing the calendar is empty.

WhatsApp delivery goes live once our Business number clears Meta's review. Join the waitlist and we will message you the moment it does — the list is also how founding-member pricing gets allocated.

Reply STOP on WhatsApp. It ends immediately. No confirmation call, no form, no waiting for office hours.

No, deliberately. Apps in this category are notorious for hanging exactly when a slot appears, because everyone opens them at once. WhatsApp is already on your phone, already trusted with notifications, and does not need to be running.

Indian customers: UPI, cards and net banking. US customers: cards. Everything is handled by the payment provider — we never see or store your card details.

We collect the minimum needed to send you alerts: a phone number or email, your filters, and your subscription state. We do not sell it and we do not share it. See the privacy policy, or email support@visaslotsplus.com and we will delete everything we hold about you.
