Question 1

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

Accepted Answer

No, not by default. VisaSlotWatch works within your existing browser session. You can optionally enable local session recovery, and those credentials stay encrypted on your device and are never sent to our servers.

Question 2

How does session recovery work?

Accepted Answer

Session recovery is optional on Starter and Power. If enabled, local auto-login is used only when your AIS session expires so monitoring can continue. Credentials stay encrypted on your device and are never sent to our servers.

Question 3

How does auto-rescheduling work?

Accepted Answer

Guarded auto-rescheduling is available on the Power plan. When enabled, VisaSlotWatch checks your selected embassies in your chosen priority order and can book the first eligible earlier appointment within your configured date window. It runs only in your browser session, pauses after success, and can pause after failures that require your attention.

Question 4

Is this compliant with the US visa website terms?

Accepted Answer

VisaSlotWatch runs through your own browser session and monitors publicly accessible US visa appointment availability. Power users can optionally enable guarded auto-rescheduling for eligible earlier dates, but we do not bypass security measures or move credentials to our servers. Users remain responsible for reviewing the visa portal's terms of service.

Question 5

How fast are the US visa appointment alerts?

Accepted Answer

Alerts are sent instantly when new US visa slots are detected. Check frequency depends on your plan: Free tier checks every 2 hours, while Power checks as fast as every 3 minutes for maximum responsiveness.

Question 6

Does it work for my country?

Accepted Answer

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.

Question 7

What US visa types are supported?

Accepted Answer

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.
