A puppeteer script to find and schedule an earlier interview for visas

What is this?

This is a small puppeteer script that can be used to find and schedule an earlier US consulate appointment for US Visa in Canada and other countries. You must have an appointment made manually before using this script.

This might be able to used for other countries by finding the consular ids mentioned below for that specific country.

Prerequisites

1. Download and install Node.JS LTS 16.14.2 from https://nodejs.org/en/download/ for whatever OS you are using
2. Open command line/terminal window and type in following
   1. npm install puppeteer --save
   2. npm install minimist --save
   3. npm install axios --save
3. Install Pushover Notifications app from App Store/Google Play if you would like to have push notifications when a date is found

Usage

Open command line or terminal window and navigate to the folder usappointment.js. Type in below code with updated arguments from command line arguments section.

Mac/Linux:

node usappointment.js -r 'ca' -d '2022-06-22' -u 'username' -p 'password' -a 359734258 -c 95 -t 120 -n 'pu5hov3ru53rk3y'

Windows:

node usappointment.js -r "ca" -d "2022-06-22" -u "username" -p "password" -a 359734258 -c 95 -t 120 -n "pu5hov3ru53rk3y"

Command line arguments

-r Country code (ISO-3166 Alpha-2 code https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_ISO_3166_country_codes). Canada (ca), United States (us)

-d Threshold date to look for earlier appointments. Format: YYYY-MM-DD

-u Username

-p Password

-a Application id. This needs to be grabbed from the url when you navigate to Reschedule Appointment page. Example: https://ais.usvisa-info.com/en-ca/niv/schedule/32943478/appointment

-c Consular id. Halifax 90, Montreal 91, Ottowa 92, Quebec City 93, Toronto 94, Vancouver is 95 for Canada. You can find ids for other consulates from the dropdown values in the appointment page.

-t Retry timeout in seconds. Keep this above 120 seconds to make sure you are not getting temporarily banned from receiving available dates

-n Pushover User Key from Pushover Notifications app. Do not provide this argument if you don't want to receive notifications.

-g Use this argument without any value if your application consists more than one person

Tips

Comment line 100 and uncomment line 102 in usappointment.js to see puppeteer in action

appointment check

I have a request like this. I have 3 accounts. I want to check with two accounts to make an appointment only on the dates I want. If found, I want an appointment with the account I want. How can we do this?
Because if we do it with a single account, it gets banned. There are other accounts that I have. I want to use it so that it does not get banned.

Script says successfully scheduled a new appointment, but portal doesn't reflect the confirmation (no email either)

Script finds an earlier date, successfully schedules it as well (as per the terminal message) - but the portal does not reflect the new appointment.

Group Rescheduling?

Will it support group booking - with more than one person in the appointment ?

module not found

while executing the code I get this:

ode:internal/modules/cjs/loader:1147
throw err;
^

Error: Cannot find module '/Users/aj/usappointment.js'
at Module._resolveFilename (node:internal/modules/cjs/loader:1144:15)

I think you dont have to sleep(1000) to wait nav to antoher page but `await page.waitForNavigation({ waitUntil: "load" });`?

ASC APPOINTMENT

The program does not select the data from the ASC APPOINTMENT section (appointment date and appointment time) so when you press the reschedule button it does not take the appointment and the browser closes.

The script sometimes keeps going forever on date picker

The script sometimes keeps going forever on date picker

Script isn't working anymore?

After the script is executed, it launches Chrome, and the login page, email ID, and pass get entered, and then nothing happens after that. After a timeout, a new Chrome window gets launched, and the same keeps on repeating.

How exactly does this script work or I should use it?

Webpage not found after sign in. API link changed?

Found a date but didn't booked it

Hello and Good Afternoon,

Yesterday I got a notification on Pushover twice, that an earlier date was found. However, the script didn't book that date.

I had given a 600s flag for time, which is every 10m, it gave me a notification twice, so I assume we got a window of 15-20m, and it still didn't book the date, are there any layout changes from the official site?

Is there any way I could test this and try to fix it?

No Permission

Script runs till reschedule and then it says that you do not have permission to access this account. Any idea how to solve this?

For example,
I have run script using Threshold date 2023 Aug 30 but during running face script found date on 18 March 2023 so script has booked the date but when I got the email from the embassy date booked for 18 Oct 2024. If you could find bug, please let us know. I have checked the script and inspect the code on browser there is no change in class, id, and DOM tree.
