UK visa appointment system

[MaprangHolmes]

I am trying to book a appointment to submit a visa application but am unable to do so it just comes up saying: Has anyone else had any problems with there web site today?

System.InvalidOperationException: Timeout expired. The timeout period elapsed prior to obtaining a connection from the pool. This may have occurred because all pooled connections were in use and max pool size was reached. at System.Data.ProviderBase.DbConnectionFactory.GetConnection(DbConnection owningConnection) at System.Data.ProviderBase.DbConnectionClosed.OpenConnection(DbConnection outerConnection, DbConnectionFactory connectionFactory) at System.Data.SqlClient.SqlConnection.Open() at DataAccessLayer.Common.DALCommonInfo.CreateConnection() in C:\VFS\TCS_CODE_TRANSFER\Applications\UK-Global\DataAccessLayer\Common\DALCommonInfo.cs:line 26 at DataAccessLayer.Common.DALCommonInfo.GetComboxData(BOComboBox pBOComboBox) in C:\VFS\TCS_CODE_TRANSFER\Applications\UK-Global\DataAccessLayer\Common\DALCommonInfo.cs:line 55

You're not the only one; see Unable to schedule an appointment on VFS website.

Go to your history folder, delete all cookies, set to accept all cookies, restart and then try again with the saved application. Should work.

Seems like they have a problem with there web site going by the link kindly provided, I have tried 3 different browsers all with the same result.

If you're onto three browsers then do what I suggested again and then unplug your internet connection, restart your PC and then wait 15 mins before reconnecting so you get another addy then try again mate. If still continues, its the site. PS allow all cookies too

If you mean get a new IP address, first you must turn the router off, (pointless turning off the PC), then it depends upon your ISP and set up, with mine you have to leave it off for a few days before it changes the IP address. but I think the issue is with cookies not the IP address.

Seems to be working now (I've been trying for 3 days). I assume some system error which has now been fixed after the weekend / Thai holiday. Very annoying. Fortunately we still managed to get an appointment for this Thursday.

Thanks I just got it working also.
