Alert Coverage controls which appointment availability can trigger an alert. It does not change whether alerts are delivered by email or the mobile app.

For Regular and Emergency appointments:

• VAC & Consular: We send an alert only when compatible availability is found for both the VAC/biometrics step and the Consular/visa interview step.

• VAC only: We may send an alert when matching VAC availability is detected without confirming Consular availability. A VAC-only alert does not mean a complete Regular appointment can be booked.

• Both selected: You can receive VAC & Consular alerts and separate VAC-only alerts.

Existing subscriptions default to VAC & Consular. Your preferred date window, VAC location, minimum-slots setting, contribution/ranking eligibility, and other alert conditions still apply.

For Dropbox appointments, Alert Coverage is disabled because Dropbox alerts already use OFC/VAC availability.

Alert History shows VAC & Consular and VAC-only alerts on separate tabs.

You can change Alert Coverage from Alert Plan Details on the website or in the mobile app.
