How to Apply

 Make your appointment through www.ustraveldocs.com/in website or by telephoning the call center. Create a user account and make TWO appointments; one for finger-printing and photo at an Offsite Facilitation Center (OFC) and another for visa interview at the Embassy or Consulate.

 Carry with You to the Interview:

• Your valid passport and previously issued passports
• The DS-160 confirmation page with barcode
• Appointment letter
• H, L, and other petition-based visa applicants may bring copies of the I-797, I-129 and other petition-related documents
• F, M students must bring the SEVIS receipt and I-20. 
• J exchange visitors must bring the SEVIS receipt and DS-2019.
• Science and technology applicants may require additional processing.  Bring supporting documents to minimize the processing time.

6. Due to security concerns and space limitations, U.S. consular sections do not permit interested parties such as friends, relatives, attorneys or business contacts to attend the visa interview with the applicant.

If an interested party wishes to provide information to a specific consular section concerning a particular visa applicant, they are encouraged to supply this information directly to the applicant. The applicant can then bring this information to the visa interview.

Delivery or Pick Up

Issued visas can be picked up at no extra charge at one of 33 document pick-up locations across India. Delivery can take up to seven business days but is normally much faster.
