"there are currently no appointments available"

[revtech100 16]

So we paid, waited 36 hours (started after 4 hours) and now the manilla site says there are no appointments available. I went out to April of 2013 and nothing. Is it this far booked? Are there issues with the site? Or am I missing something? HELP!

try calling them, you will get accurate dates talking to the agent than online..

Once you have paid your visa application fee, you may schedule your appointment for your visa interview.

Yes keep refreshing every hours. You may even see a message that says you reached the number of maximim logins or something similar - ignore it. I checked for two days and got a September 7 appointment on August 30.

I did the same as Mr Smiley recommends :) because were coming out of Cebu we added some buffer time for things, but it sure did feel good to see a date to click on on the calendars.. and it WILL happen for you... have faith and refresh !

So I refreshed about a zillion times....nothing.. Did it this morning, then today, then tonight. All I got was the you've exceeded message. So off to plan B........I called....and was told no more appointments for October, the C.O. Has stopped all appointments for October because they have to many. A few have been scheduled for November, but they wouldn't schedule any more at this time. The recommendation was to go online.....I just had to laugh.....so I guess we call every hour until something happens......

The easier option is to keep refreshing online ... don't worry a date will pop up. Many of us have done it. Trust us. Even if it takes you a few days.

I have my iPad and laptop going, refreshing the screens and still nothing.....kindof reminds me of Vegas and the slots.......lol.....any way, what a mess.....and the government wants to run our health care......I'm worried....

I saw where others wer getting appointments tonight so I kept refreshing and my baby called and she got the date we needed due to the distance of travel for me. I will be with her. Anyway, thanks to everybody here for the encouragement and postings. What a great site! Our interview is November 6,

Best time to check is 1:10 - 1:45 PM Manila Local. You want the morning cancelations dropped off the calendar. When you call in the operators see the exact same data you see online. They tap into the same system.
