Curious to what time of day you checked for the appointment and it was available? 

if anyone else got an appointment it would be great to know. 

For the rest of us I am thinking if we signed a joint letter with several people complaining about the problem and I sent it to the embassy via fedex.  Anyone willing? This is a breakdown of citizen services by the ambassador and embassy. 

still no appointments, has anyone gotten an appointment? If a few people could update that would be great

if anyone having the same trouble you can DM me and we can make a joint complaint....its not gonna get solved...we been trying for 5 weeks....will our approvals expire?

Please share how you can check every thirty minutes as we get “rated limited” if we check twice a day.

do you have a screen shot ? i never get that message

Here is how you get their attention...ever since this stupid ambassador  MaryKay Loss Carlson has gotten involved there are no appointments available....literally she is no competent to run an embassy. This woman is absolutely incompetent and congress just does not know. We can do press releases she needs to get relieved of her duty.

Group Calls for Action on K1 Visa Delays at U.S. Embassy Manila

[City, State, Date] – Hundreds of people are experiencing long delays in getting K1 visa appointments at the U.S. Embassy in Manila. Despite checking the U.S. Travel Docs website frequently, no appointments are available. This is causing severe distress.

Many believe the embassy is not short-staffed but inefficiently managed under Ambassador MaryKay Loss Carlson. Complaints have surged since she took over.

"We have tried contacting the embassy multiple times with no success," said a group representative. "This is affecting our lives and trust in the consular services."

The group urges immediate action to clear the backlog and improve scheduling. If not resolved, they will file a complaint with the OIG, seek help from Congress, and engage with the media.

Let's get the attention our cases deserve.

Has anyone got an appointment yet? We been checking every thirty mins. We been checking for more than a month now

Did anyone get any appointments? One month and still can not get one. 

been doing this for almost three weeks...no appointments available ever. 

I have been trying for two weeks...this is getting ridiculous 

There are currently no appointments available. is the message I get from UStraveldocs when trying to schedule my fiancés k1 visa  interview. Anyone have any ideas on whats going ? I been checking for days and it says the same thing. 

I called my Senators office and did a written request by fax

They then notified me by mail that there was nothing they could do for me because the uscis website still says processing in February. Although the US CI S updated their website two ago the status is reflecting as of September 30. What state do you live in? Seems like your congressman is more helpful

What is going on with the USCIS? I mean DAMN its been 8 months since I sent my K1 Vsisa in. I have not hear a PEEP from them. I see that March is mostly approved now in the igors list. Seems as if they get it going for a week or so and push out a bunch of approvales and then it drops off to no approvals.Also they show Feb 23 as the date they working on as of sept 30, but last month they showed feb 20th...i mean one month they moved three days? Anyone know whats going on? If i would of sent my approval off 7 months LATER I would of been BETTER OFF!!!
