NOT ABLE TO GET IN PERSON APPOINTMENt !!!!!!!

Post by vagabond4life » Fri Apr 03, 2009 10:03 am

Hi All

I am not able to get in person appointment for any office. I am calling HO for couple of days now and all they say is no appointments available at any office as appointments are booked for the next six weeks and they cannot book for further period and that I should apply by post. I have called 4-5 times but mostly around noon time. I called yesterday and they said bookings full until 14th May!!!!!

So I called today at 9.30 in the morning but again was told appointments full until 15th May in all offices. I wonder how can all appoinments for all offices be booked in 30 mins of opening of lines.

I wonder they are pushing applicants for applying by post. When I had called they said 'no appoinment availables' within no time. I believe it takes some time for them to look into the syste and check but they are refusing at random.

It is interesting to note that the advisers are asking for Nationality at the start of the call. I guess 'no appoinments' is their standard reply if your nationality is INDIAN.

Anyone with similar experience please share here.

Thanks

If that is the case then call again with different accent and say nationality as AZ, NZ and see the response.

Have you had any experience of booking a train reservation on Indian Railways (8:00 A.M.)?
If you do; then you know the reason.... :) :) :)

If it was railway reservation, that would not have been a problem. Ek train chhut gayi toh dusri milege.....lekin yaha mamla kuch aur hai....

and anyways I was talking about not getting appointment because of attitude of HO (atleast thats what I am thinking). I believe they are not entertaining in person appointments for whatever reasons.....
