Do you need my AIS login credentials for US visa monitoring?

No. VisaSlotWatch never asks for your username or password. The extension works within your existing browser session, so your credentials stay completely secure.

Is this compliant with the US visa website terms?

VisaSlotWatch monitors publicly accessible US visa appointment information through your own browser session. We do not automate bookings or bypass any security measures. Users are responsible for reviewing the visa portal's terms of service.

How fast are the US visa appointment alerts?

Alerts are sent instantly when new US visa slots are detected. Check frequency depends on your plan: Free tier checks every 2 hours, while paid tiers check as fast as every 5 minutes for maximum responsiveness.

Does it work for my country?

If your country uses the AIS scheduling portal (ais.usvisa-info.com), it is supported. This includes 50+ countries: Mexico, Brazil, Colombia, Canada, UK, Peru, and many more across the Americas, Europe, Africa, and Central Asia.

What US visa types are supported?

All US nonimmigrant visa types are supported, including B1/B2 (tourist/business), F-1 (student), H-1B (work), J-1 (exchange), O-1 (extraordinary ability), and more.

VisaSlotWatch v1.2.0 Update: Stability Fixes for Slot Detection

We have now published VisaSlotWatch Chrome Extension v1.2.0.

This is an important stability release focused on fixing core monitoring issues in slot detection and notifications.

What's improved in v1.2.0

1) Fixed critical slot detection issues

We resolved issues that could prevent slot detections from being surfaced correctly. If you previously experienced missed alerts or slots not appearing when they should, this update addresses those problems.

2) Restored full desired-range alerts

Alerts now include all detected time slots in your desired date range, not just partial information. Starter and Power plan users see the complete picture of available appointments with specific time slots in each notification, while Free plan users see slot counts.

3) Improved notification reliability

We improved how notifications are triggered when earlier appointments are found. Alerts are now more consistent and dependable across all notification channels.

4) Faster monitoring cycles

We reduced delays in the monitoring flow so appointment checks complete more predictably. This means less waiting and more timely slot detection.

5) Better background stability

We improved background event handling and monitoring stability during active checks. The extension now handles edge cases more gracefully without interrupting your monitoring session.

Why this release matters

This version addresses several issues that affected the reliability of previous builds, including v1.1.6. If you experienced:

Missed slot alerts
Incomplete slot details in notifications
Inconsistent monitoring behavior

This update is intended to resolve those problems.

Do you need to update manually?

In most cases, no. Chrome should auto-update the extension to v1.2.0 automatically.

If you want to update immediately:

Uninstall your current VisaSlotWatch extension
Reinstall from the Chrome Web Store
