U.S. visa applicants using https://www.usvisascheduling.com should note that the website has been unavailable since this morning, Wednesday, March 27, 2024. 

While accessing the website, users receive an error message which reads as follows:

“Access to https://www.usvisascheduling.com was denied. You don’t have authorization to view this page. – HTTP ERROR 403”. 

Hopefully this issue will be resolved in a few hours and applicants will be able to access the visa appointment system. There is no official press release on any scheduled maintenance. We will continue to monitor and report on the status.
