Case 1: confirmation after about three hours
A specialist began monitoring shortly after midnight in São Paulo time. After repeated checks without suitable availability, the specialist completed the official flow at 3:06 a.m. and confirmed an appointment for October 2 at 9:00 a.m. at the Federal Police office in Santos.
A later read of the rescheduling area found the same date and time already registered. We treated this as additional proof of the same appointment, not a second booking.
Case 2: three recorded slot losses before success
The second case accepted dates only in September or October. Specialists covered the case in shifts for approximately 15 hours and 32 minutes. After repeated checks without suitable availability, October 29 and 30 appeared as available.
Three later events were recorded as lost slots before a new attempt succeeded at 3:35 p.m. The final official confirmation was for October 29 at 9:00 a.m., also in Santos.
Redacted confirmation evidence
The images below preserve the official success message while obscuring the applicant’s name, photograph, email and other personal information.
What these cases do — and do not — show
- Availability can change within minutes.
- Seeing a date does not mean it will remain open until confirmation.
- Narrower month criteria reduce the number of acceptable options.
- The reliable result is the official success message and corresponding protocol.
- Frequent monitoring may detect an opportunity; it does not create slots or control the PF calendar.
Method and limitations
This report was prepared from case records reviewed by the human appointment team, together with the official confirmation screens. The review covers the agreed criteria, the period covered by the specialists, disappearing opportunities and the final confirmation. The two cases occurred on the same monitoring date, at the same unit and for the same immigration service. They cannot be extrapolated to another city, unit, service or period.
