visa-beeper (USA visas only by now)
A Script for helping you being notified when there is a free spot available
After the pandemics some consulates are out of schedules since there is lots of persons trying to renew their visas. I always hear about some "slots getting opened" but when I try advancing my schedule I never found a free date. So, I decided to try to monitor these free spots. With that in mind, the easily way was to paste some script on browser console for "beeping" when a date that satisfies my conditions is available.
Usage
- Adjust the script (filling the variable accordingly) for your needs:
- Fill your account number, that can be found on your url when logged into the scheduling system.
- Fill the code of the CITY you want to monitor. (I have just mapped brazilian one's)
- Fill the months you want to monitor in the format provided as sample ("2021-12", "2022-01")
- If your city has more than one option of office, you can fill the expectedOrg variable with the office code. (I have just mapped brazilian one's)
- Login to the scheduler system (https://ais.usvisa-info.com/pt-br/niv in portuguese)
- Go to reschedule and leave the page ready (to be faster) to reschedule you appointment. I suggest choosing a different city, so you can change right away after listening to the beep.
- Duplicate the browser tab (you must duplicate the logged in tab), open a developer console, and paste the script. It will begin pooling the free spots based on the conditions specified and BEEP when it find one free spot.
- Wait for the beep, and run to finish your reschedule.
More info
How do I stop the script?
To stop the script, enter the command stop() on the console and hit enter:
stop()
How do I test if the beep is working?
Just call the beep function anytime after pasting the code:
beep(1000, 0.5)
Mapping other cities / offices
Just go to your developer console at your browser, and check the "Network" tab, when manipulating the options (selecting the city/office) you will see the codes on the request's urls.
