An H-1B holder is facing a serious issue with the US Visa Scheduling website. You received a message saying your H-1B stamp renewal appointment was cancelled. But you cannot log in to the portal to cancel your VAC appointment.
Portal stuck at waiting lobby
When you open the website, you get stuck in the waiting lobby. It never moves to the login screen. Even after long waits, the page fails to load properly.
Login fails even after access
In some cases, the site reaches the login page. But the login function does not work. You still cannot access your account or check appointment details.
Confusion over VAC appointments
You are now asking others with cancelled appointments if their VAC slots were cancelled automatically. There is no clear answer from the system. The lack of access has added to the confusion.
Server overload suspected
The issue appears linked to server strain or maintenance. Thousands of recent H-1B appointment cancellations have driven heavy traffic. Many users are trying to reschedule or cancel appointments at the same time.
System failing under pressure
This sudden rush seems to have overwhelmed the system. One applicant said the site works only after several attempts. This points to instability caused by unusually high user volume.
No way to verify appointment status
Experts advise patience and repeated attempts. But without portal access, you cannot confirm your appointment status. This leaves applicants stuck and unsure of next steps.
Need for urgent system upgrade
Thousands rely on this scheduling system every day. The agency must upgrade the platform. These technical failures create unnecessary stress and block basic visa processes.
