Visa4uk - No appointments avialable ...forever

[BEDBANDIT]

When i try to book a standard appointment it says

No appointments are currently available for this location

its not letting me look at the months ahead .

last time i looked (about 4 days ago) there was loads of appointments for May , just none for april. 

is this normal , should i be looking at sending my wife to chaing-mai.

thanks.

So, there's none available for April, (it's the end of the month already).... that'd make sense 

[BEDBANDIT]

Theirs none available at all...don't matter what month i look ..try reading the post again ..

Misunderstood you when you said last time you looked, there were loads of appointments available in may.....

Yep sounds like they are using the same appointments system that UKVI were using for fast track visa applications. Never any appointments. Its called incompentance.

If you try to book too far ahead it will give you this message. Does not mean there are none just that they have not released them.

For some reason you can only book premium appointments up to 42 days in advance.

There were stories of people staying up late each night to book an appointment as soon as they were released! Also some agents were block booking on the off chance that they needed the time slots. I am pretty sure steps were taken to minimise this.

The system has been known to break down as well!

Yes the agents they sure snafued our online visa extension system. The Ubers of immigration. Does not take long to smell bucks or bahts and dive in.

I was under the impression that you could only book an appointment as part of the application process, or at least have a reference number, if this is so I wonder how agents "block book" appointments.

Cannot understand this,just had my other halfs appointment yesterday,

it takes forever to fill in this form 94 questions,I think VSP has instigated 

a PRIVATE line for its agents,and so it goes on and on always suspected

this company,open line for Tea money.............

TiT, no doubt. A word in the right - or left - ear might end that.

 

Purportedly, you can also now arrange an appointment at home - for an extra consideration, of course.

Is there a certain time/ day of the week when they release appointments.

I was also misled by the options list. See this thread.

 

[scubachild]

I just started the same topic - did not see this one.  Same problem.  Every day every time :-

"the appointment you have chosen is no longer available. Please choose another time. !!!!

 

This morning 12 June became available to select - immediately I tried every time but SAME MASSAGE

the appointment you have chosen is no longer available. Please choose another time. !!!

 

SEEMS IMPOSSIBLE

[scubachild]

Just made an official complaint on 

[email protected]

 

Details of the complaint

trying to make appointment on the website.  Every day every time always same response - 

"the appointment you have chosen is no longer available. Please choose another time". - 

Thank you for your help
