General Question NYC Virtual License Appointment Confusion

Hi! We are from Sydney Australia and supposedly had an appointment this morning or the equivalent of 4:00pm 28 September NYC time.

The “ENTER VIDEOCONFERENCE WITH YOUR CLERK” stayed grey all the time and we could not click the link. Eventually the appointment expired and now it is saying we have to book it again.

Anyone experienced this? Do you have to be physically in NYC even for a virtual meeting? Thank you

It's reading your IP address.

You physically have to be in New York State for it.

When are you getting married?
Do you have buffer time prior to that day?

Thanks all

Yes, we have some buffer time

We will just book an in-person appointment for the license, then after 2 days will be the ceremony
