Fictional at the moment

Do you have any inside info/suggestions? This is torturous.

When I was looking for slots for Jaycel's interview, the embassy seemed to drop openings onto the portal between 9am-11am local time. That was back on the old portal so their processes may have changed

My friend told me the opened slots on 02/05 and 02/26 but didn't last long. 

 

I booked mine around 8am. Still check and noticed they open at 8, 10, and 2pm. I suggest join these messenger group chats looking out for slots and updating fellow applicants.

That one I do not have any information about.... I assume @maryaaaaaaaaaaa knows of some Facebook Messenger group chats that let people know when others see appointments available?

We had good luck finding appointments on 3 different times at midnight Philippines time (we had to reschedule because the new system is NOT at all clear that you are booking multiple appointments for multiple purposes--they will present vague acronyms and expect you to know that one means biometrics and the other means personal interview and we didn't realize we had booked different appointments on different dates for different things).  We checked 4 different times and on 3 of those days they had appointments open up right after midnight.  Good luck!

Would you be kind enough to describe the booking process as much as you can recall? My fear is that when we do see calendars, we'll freak coz we have no idea what we're doing.

[maryaaaa 43]

Only two calendars will pop up. 

 

OFC Post - MNL OFC for biometrics appointment at Parqal

Consular - for Embassy interview

 

Here the videos that served as my guide:

Can someone please discuss actual scheduling? The video spends about 15 seconds on it.
