Who we are, and how the data works
SlotWatch is operated by AppointVisa, an independent private service. Not affiliated with the US Government, US Embassy or Consulates.
Source: AppointVisa team's manual availability checks — not official US Embassy data.
Ownership & Funding
SlotWatch is built and operated by AppointVisa. We provide free slot availability data to the public because booking US visas in India has become excessively stressful and confusing.
We fund the infrastructure through our voluntary paid services: Priority Telegram alert passes (an alert for every matching opening) and our Concierge Booking Service (where our team books on your behalf).
How the data is collected
Where the data comes fromNot official
Every opening on SlotWatch comes from AppointVisa's appointment monitoring: applicant accounts it manages on the official scheduling site report the dates they see, and its team adds its own checks. Not official Embassy data. Our Telegram bot only delivers alerts: it never holds or books appointments.
Not official US Embassy data. Dates can be gone by the time you look. Terms · How it works
AppointVisa monitors OFC and interview availability for the 5 posts in India (Mumbai, New Delhi, Chennai, Hyderabad, Kolkata): applicant accounts it manages on the official scheduling site report the dates they see, and its team adds its own checks. SlotWatch publishes that record.
Private record
SlotWatch reads AppointVisa's monitoring record privately, server to server. Your browser never contacts it.
Snapshot Cache
Recorded openings are kept for 72 hours, then rolled up into monthly trends.
Telegram Alerts
Free users get regular summaries. Premium accounts get a Telegram alert for every opening that matches their watchlist.
Our Non-Negotiable Honesty Code
- No invented data: If our backend has no recorded data for a post, we say so clearly. We never invent synthetic data and pass it off as real in production.
- No false scarcity: We never display fake countdown timers, artificial "only 2 slots left" alerts, or manufactured urgency.
- Where the data comes from: AppointVisa's appointment monitoring. SlotWatch itself never books or holds appointments, and it is not official Embassy data.
- No guarantees: We never promise guaranteed appointments or visa grants. Visa decisions are made exclusively by consular officers.
