Yes filed our DS160 back in June! But just haven't seen any appointments come up every time I click the pay fee. It just says there are no appointments check back in a couple of days

Re: Visa appointment wait times query
Yip that’s exactly the message I got
keep trying
i tryed at 9 am 11 am then 1 pm the same morning
I wonder if they just came out at 1pm at 8 am in u..s
must be adding appointments as heard from few people on Facebook saying they got appointments too
when I got to pay there was list appointments days for around 10 days all in March for London,nothing in Belfast which I prefer but can’t be fussy 😫

Re: Visa appointment wait times query
hi, I have been checking daily for my parents. They had an April 22 appointment date originally (at London embassy) which I managed to move forward to Feb, however last week when I checked it showed availability oct, nov and dec and so I moved their appt forward again - but I assume these slots got snapped up quick. I was literally checking for a couple of months several times a day because I have not seen my family since early 2020...

I just get the below. So it's just a case of keep refreshing it until it lets me pay? Thanks All!

Has anyone tried Dublin for an appointment? Just wondering how backed up they are.

I have just managed to get an NIV appointment for Oct 13, have been waiting since Nov last year so glad to finally have some good news.
I've been checking daily for nearly a year and the dates had been going backwards until today.

Thats great news for you. Did you previously have an appointment at a later date but then rescheduled it for October?
In order to get the October date did it just appear on the system? Or did you have some sort of "national interest exemption"

I have been traveling to the US for the last year on an NIE but when I tried to expedite my appointment they rejected it.
I don’t think this has had any bearing on me getting an appointment in October though, I think you just have to check the website at the right time when they become available.

Re: Visa appointment wait times query
Just to clarify: you were given an NIE by the London embassy, but when you tried to expedite the appointment they rejected it?
How did you try and expedite it? Did you inform them of the NIE via the "Request Expedite" option on the website?

Hey TariqButt,
I have seen you on the forum for a while. When did you get your appointment booked?
I am checking literally 20 x a day atm and just keep getting the same message. No visa appointments available. I wonder if my visa type E2 Essential Employee could have something to do with it. Trying to get an appointment for December/Jan!

Re: Visa appointment wait times query
I doubt the October/November appointments will be cancelled because they seem to have just become available, being speculative here but maybe has something to do with travel restriction changes ?
As for not finding any appointments, I do wonder if it’s the type of visa that affects this. I’m on an L1 visa and have always been able to find appointments no problem, they have just been getting further away.
