How to choose a city where the most places are available

In this short article, we will tell you how to use Visa Cat widget to select the city where interview slots at the US Embassy are most frequently available. Obtaining a US visa today is not a simple process and can be complicated. Often this is due to a lack of information about which cities have available slots for recording and how often they appear. We have created a widget with statistics on the issuance of slots, which will help track dates.
Without authorization in the widget, you can always view the history of slot issuance for all cities and countries for the past days, including today. But to view the full statistics, you need to log in to the widget via Telegram. Upon first login, enter the phone number you use in Telegram. After that, you will need to allow access for the widget - you will receive a system message from Telegram.
In order for you to immediately correctly determine in which country you should pay the consular fee and in which city you will then have an interview, we have provided a free 3-day period for all new users on all cities and countries. This will also help determine the date range to set for receiving notifications about opening windows or for quick recording via the bot. After activating it in the bot, you will see that the "locks" on the cities have changed to "stars", which means that you have access to view statistics on the issuance of slots for future months in all cities. Now you can compare the number of slots that the US Embassy issued in different countries, the dates of slot issuance, and based on these data, predict likely scenarios for opening windows in the future. This is the best way to determine the "ideal city" for obtaining a visa.
In the menu on the left, select the city of interest. After that, you can set additional parameters, such as the number of applicants (1, 2, or 3), the time period to display (1, 3, or 6 months), and the type of residence (resident or non-resident, typically only the "non-resident" option is available).
On the left side of the widget is a list of cities, grouped by country
By selecting the city of interest, you can see more detailed information about the issuance of slots on the selected day or on a specific date. For this, there are two graphs in the main part of the widget. The upper chart shows how often slots were issued in the past. The higher the column, the more slots the US Embassy issued for recording on that day.
The main part of the widget contains a graph of the frequency of slot issuance and a calendar
The calendar below the chart shows specific dates that were available for recording. The brightness of the cell in the calendar reflects how long this slot was available for recording.
Displaying dates that were visible on a specific day
If you click on a column in the top chart, the calendar will display dates that were visible only on the selected day.
Conversely, if you select a cell in the calendar, orange cells will be displayed. These cells show the dates when the bot saw the selected date.
Of course, the number of slots also depends on the number of applicants. Therefore, we have provided filtering so you can see relevant data only for your case.
The more applicants, the fewer available slots
However, don't worry even if you're planning to schedule an interview with another person! Use the widget to periodically check information manually or purchase the automatic notification service about new dates. This way, you won't miss a single available slot.
Ultimately, by comparing the statistics of available slots in different cities, it will be easier for you to decide where it's best to have an interview at the US Embassy, and our Visa Cat widget will help you with that.
Use the statistics to find cities where slots become available most frequently, allowing you to schedule your interview as quickly as possible.
