Common questions for the United Kingdom
Is London supported?
Yes. London uses the AIS scheduling portal and can be monitored through the Chrome extension.
Is Belfast part of the same setup?
Belfast is shown when it is available in your AIS scheduling account. Always confirm the post options and fee rules in the official portal.
Can Power reschedule automatically?
Yes, but you must already have an appointment. Power can automatically move that appointment to an eligible earlier date within your date range and post priority rules.
Will monitoring work when my laptop sleeps?
No. VisaSlotWatch runs through your active browser session, so your device, Chrome, and AIS session need to stay active.
