Are you trying to keep 4 appointments near the same time as each other?
If so, looking for single appointments should give a lot more availability.
When we signed up (albeit some time ago), we selected the first two appointments that were within, say, an hour of each other, and that was months in advance.
Then, we kept checking, and sure enough, appointments were opening up earlier. We ended up getting two back to back, on a day and time that was particularly convenient for us.
Also, do check if they allow walk-ins, or "waiting by the door"
Our site had a couple of benches outside "the door" and they told us two things: We *could* have just showed up, and waited, and they'd have taken us if they had the time, although no guarantee. Also, they specifically said to KNOCK at the door to announce we'd be waiting (note: we were *not* waiting; this was in response to "what if" an appointment hadn't opened up and we had needed it...), although I can imagine other officials specifically NOT liking this...
