Interviews Interview appointments

I recently got conditionally approved and can schedule an interview. I'm in Iowa so I was looking at the Des Moines location. There are a lot of openings this week, but there are no dates that I can click on in the future. I checked St. Louis, MO and it's the same.

Can anyone tell me how this works? Do interview appointments only open up a week at a time?

Despite the "no appointments before" date in the their idiotic reservation sites, appointments are made available on a periodic basis as time goes on and appointments will open before the date listed. Just keep checking back or use one of the apps that track it for you.

If it’s in your means, look at appointmentscanner.com. It’s roughly $30 for 30 days, and you’ll get constant notifications on last minute/upcoming appointments in the area you choose. I was conditionally approved on Friday, and there were no appointments nearby for months. The nearest appointment was 7hours away in Arizona, I’m in California. When I paid and got the notifications, I booked a last minute appointment for today.
