Most people check 2–3 times a day. That's not enough.
I've been booking U.S. visa slots for clients for 4 years. I built the tools I needed β now they're available to everyone.
The embassy does release earlier slots you can book β you just have to be checking when it happens.
The embassy releases new dates without warning. Sometimes as early as next week from now. But there's no notification and no schedule.
I've booked 3,000+ appointments over 4 years. This is exactly how agents do it β the more you check, the higher the chances to be there when a slot opens.
Waiting room, Cloudflare checkbox, login, captcha, security questions, clicking through the calendar month by month β just to find nothing changed. Around 20 clicks per check. Then you're supposed to do it again. And again. It's the most frustrating part of the whole visa process.
Be careful β many are scammers. Once they get your visa portal login, they can change your security questions and hold your account hostage for money.
If you get scammed, do not pay. Contact the embassy directly and say you forgot your password.
What started as "let me stay logged in faster" turned into a full Chrome extension plus iPhone and Android apps - And now it's available for everyone. Check more often, get alerted when something opens, skip the repetitive steps.
See how it worksThe extension runs inside the official U.S. visa portal on your computer β it does the clicking so you don't have to. If you step away from your desk, the iPhone and Android apps alert you the moment something opens.
I loaded the extension source code into Claude AI and asked it to do a security review. Here's what it found.
"The extension behaves as described. Credentials stay on your device if you use autofill. Data sent externally during normal operation is limited to appointment availability and an anonymous device identifier. The actions performed by the extension are consistent with normal interaction patterns inside a logged-in browser session. No deceptive or malicious behavior was found in the code."
For a focused short-term push.
If you want to run it aggressively for a week and see what turns up.
For ongoing monitoring.
Slots depend on the embassy β sometimes they release batches weekly, sometimes it takes longer. This keeps you covered.
For agents and consultants.
Multiple clients, unlimited profiles, more aggressive checking.
I put all the basic features in the free version because I know how much this already sucks without having to pay for help.
Free gets you: faster login, checking every 10 minutes, and sound alerts when something opens.
Agents aren't using magic β they just have better tools and more time to check. This gives you the same advantages.
"As soon as slots were announced on the portal, I immediately got an update and was able to book within the app. Highly recommended!"
"It takes just 3β4 seconds to log in. You can check appointment slots anytime within seconds. I was actually able to book an earlier date using the app's login feature. Definitely worth it."
"I was able to find an appointment 2.5 months away only by using this app. I purchased the premium version and was able to book a quicker appointment. Absolutely amazing."
