Has anyone applied very recently or is in the process of applying now? There don't appear to be any free times on the embassy's schedule for new appointments, ever!

This issue has come up a few times. The problem seemed to have started around March. my wife got the last appointment available in January (according to their schedule) but February was wide open. Then March came and the "<deleted> seemed to hit the fan"

I have heard that the embassy updates their schedule after midnight. Unfortunately you may have to wake up or stay up a few nights in order to secure an appointment, since others are jockeying for appointment's as well. Good luck!

Have you emailed the embassy? Curious...

My gf and I want to make a trip October 201. When should we be filling out the form and getting our appointment? Is May1 to late to start? We would like to have returned from Nepal...

OP, did you get your appointment yet or is there still the same problem? I'm just wondering as I want to get an appointment for my wife soon but this information don't sound good so please update
