    Next Monday thanks. The website will only allow you to make appointment if you are travelling within 3 days..so not in that category yet...can't get regular appointment in time though so can't figure out what you are supposed to do..can you go to office without appointment or is it a waste of time..do I wait until the 3 days before travel and get appointment...sorry !! Stress levels are high...thanks

    Just went through this today, booking an appointment for tomorrow. I was online and waiting at 12:30 when the slots became available, and I got one then thankfully. When I check back three mins later, all the slots for tomorrow were gone.
