Just an update: Last Saturday at 3am the ctc alarm went off. I was fast and got the June 25th date. So long story short Sharon is on her way to USEM right now for her interview.

All of our paperwork, medical clearance and she even brough the old packet (pre-ds160) as a bit of evidence that we were ready to rock last October :)

Congrats AJ, your fiancee should be in the EM quay at this moment... a 6 month medical hold must have been brutal...I'm glad you were proactive rather than wait for interview letter that possibility never been sent.. :star:

Yeah I wasn't content on waiting for something that may or may not happen. I felt pressure because the medical clearance from SLEC is only good for 90 days. SLEC couldn't help with scheduling due to no open dates other than those late cancellations that were popping up on the site.

Thanks for the support.

@Hank_ Thanks for the advice as well. I told her they weren't necessary but she brought them because she thought they would be good proof to the officer that things were indeed legit.

I just loaded check4change on my firefox browser also. I don't think you need to worry about the specific blue box area on the left. I just chose edit select all and then every 4 seconds the page reloads - if a date becomes available you should be able to see it pop up, correct? Not sure if the alarm/sound function will work though...

did it work to you..?

i am helping my fiancee to be able to get schedule since we wer targeting the august and she said some applicant able to get the august 8 last thursday and july 18 last night

any more tips..?? thanks a lot :)

It worked for my friend... I'm still waiting on NOA2... sigh...

I was helping my friend get an interview date. He was able to get July 15th. He said the alarm song on check4change woke him up at 3am east coast time and he got an appointment! So it does work. Just

make sure you computer doesn't go into sleep mode and put it by your bed while you sleep and turn up the volume...LOL It'll probably scare you to death when it goes off in the middle of the night.

BP if your asking, Yes it did work for me. If you reread this thread carefully you should note that the EM appointment server may be in the USA. Since an internet commotion in the Phils runs at speeds from .1 to1 mbs, 3mbs at internet cafe, a business line 5mbs. A runoff the mill internet speed in the US is 30 mbs, so forget trying to have your fiancee get an interview date. You get her USTRAVELDOCS user name and PW, log on to the dashboard and set up C4C for whatever refresh interval you want, with slots being so tight, I would plan to be logged online have your DB open trigger finger on the mouse from 2-5pm Phils time.

Remember C4C involves one extra step, clicking OK on the C4C alarm pop-up (no not hit cancel) than hit the red continue link on the top left of the DB page, if I remember right after hitting continue a new page will pop up, quickly scroll to the page bottom hit the greyed continue bottom right of page and pray you see a 30 day calendar ...do not waste a second hit the first opening you see. If your fast enough it will take you to a lovely confirmation page, no need to rush as you've got the slot. Practice,practice,practice let us know how you fared....R187

Steady as she goes...Highlight everything on your DB with C4C, Also, (I never told you this), but go into the C4C options and set your timer to two seconds instead to the default 4sec... FYI: I refreshed the DB using C4C 17,000 times in one day, when I struck gold....and it's been tested in a few independent labs... :yes:

Cheers,
