Current U.S. Visa Appointments Available

In an effort to facilitate travel to the United States, the U.S. Consulate in Mumbai recently added over 15,000 visa appointment slots to its schedule. This addition has reduced the average waiting time for an appointment to six working days. These appointments are available for the convenience of visa applicants from now until the end of the year. U.S. Consulate staff strongly encourages all applicants with specific travel plans to the United States to take advantage of these expanded services. Applicants who already have an appointment many months away may want to consider re-scheduling to an earlier, more convenient date. There is no charge or penalty for rescheduling. To make or re-schedule an appointment, go to www.vfs-usa.co.in. In person applications may also be made at the VFS centers in Mumbai, Ahmedabad, and Pune listed below. For more information, please refer to the VFS website or call the helpline at 022-66547600.
