When Do K-1 Visa Appointment Slots Open?
Short answer
Is There a Best Day or Time to Check?
Short answer
Applicants on Reddit and visa forums often share the time when they personally found an opening. Those reports can show that availability is unpredictable, but they should not be treated as a reliable future release calendar.
Why Do People Report Random Openings?
Availability can change for more than one reason:
- New interview dates become visible
- An existing applicant cancels
- An applicant reschedules
- System inventory changes
From the outside, applicants usually cannot know which event caused a particular opening.
Are Cancellation Openings Worth Watching?
Yes, if your scheduling system makes them available.
A cancellation can create an opportunity even when there is no large batch of new appointments.
The monitor was tested with cancellation openings in both Montreal and Nairobi that were followed by successful applicant bookings.

Can I Be Alerted Instead of Checking Manually?
At supported AIS posts, the monitor can monitor appointment availability from the user's computer and send a Telegram notification when an opening is detected.
The monitor does not reserve the appointment. You must log in and book it yourself.
