Hey, love your video! Also I need a little help with the information, so can you please tell when did your receive your USA Visa interview appointment letter and when did you got your biometric done.
Hello, As people were asking for help with slot openings, can you please make insights or a complete video of how handily we can monitor the system? If there are any typical tricks maybe.
Yup both the appointments should be within 15 days. Biometric takes about 20 mins and the interview takes about 1-1:30 hr after you are inside the consulate.
Dear mam , I hope this message finds you well. I am writing to seek your assistance regarding my visa appointment scheduling. I paid my visa fee in December 2024 and attempted to book my OFC and consular slots before January 2025. However, due to the unavailability of slots, I was unable to secure an appointment within that timeframe. Consequently, I managed to book my OFC appointment for February 6th, 2025, and my consular appointment for February 11th, 2025. My concern is that my training program in the USA is scheduled to start on January 11th, 2025. Unfortunately, due to the delayed appointment dates, I will miss this training. I have already filled out my DS-160 form based on the January 2025 schedule. Given this situation, I would like to inquire if I can continue with my current appointment dates for the next year's training, which will commence in January 2026 (exact dates are not available at this moment). Can I explain my situation to the consular team, highlighting that the delay was due to the unavailability of earlier slots in December 2024? Will this explanation be acceptable for my 2026 training? Alternatively, do I need to resubmit the DS-160 form and pay the visa fees again for the next year's training session in the USA? I would greatly appreciate your guidance on how to proceed with my upcoming OFC and consular appointments in February 2025. If continuing with the current appointments is not feasible, should I cancel both appointments and start the process anew? Thank you for your time and assistance. I look forward to your prompt response.
Hi Muskan ,Thanks for the info. Just wanted to know did they take photograph also as mentioned in the ds 160 that photo will be taken at asc. Also,did you submit any photograph ?
Very nice information sis.. thankuu so much ..i have 2 questions plz reply 1. Can i put my bag in that locker,is it that much spacious? 2. How much airport is away from the consulate?
Hi Muskan mera interview 27 June ko mumbai hai . And biometric 26 June . Mera slot book huya kall to mere confirmation page par jo apke page par blue and orange aisa nahi hai simple pdf hai
Thank you for the detailed explanation. What buffer time one should reserve for the entire biometric process to get completed at the center? Want to plan my to & fro flights accordingly.
The biometrics hardly takes 20 minutes after you enter the building. But do keep ample amount of buffer based on the traffic of the city where you are travelling to .
Hey thank you for the video. This is very helpful. I'm traveling on an immigrant visa and have been instructed to register for biometrics appointment before attending the interview. Could you please share how to book this appointment. Also my interview is at Mumbai Consulate.
Hi Muskan, my name of DS-160 is same as passport (Surname, FirstName Father's Name). But the Appointment letter has name in different format (FirstName Surname). Do I have to change my name in appointment letter ?
@PranjalPatil248 - I have a similar problem. can you please help if that was an issue during biometric or interview? and how did you solve the problem if you did.
Hi perfect just 1 question do you have to submit you passport to them or they hand it back to you after the bio. Because the ext day I have interviews at us consulate
Hi. Thanks for the video. I have biometrics at Mumbai soon. I recently renewed my indian passport and got a new one. Can I get the DS-160 corrected for the new passport number at the biometrics center? I will carry old and new passports.
As far as I know, your mrv receipt (visa application fee) is linked to the passport number and if your passport number changes the mrv will be invalid , which basically means that you have to make the payment again. I was about to get my passport renewed before the appointment as well, but when I did some research I found this information. If this is not true , do let me know so i can help others if they face similar doubts .
Can i carry passport renewal application form for my biometrics as my passport expired.. I am still waiting for new passport but i do have old passport.. Plz suggest

Hi, My IELTS is valid till 17th of December, and my starting date of studies is 6th of January. Does anywhere else my score be asked after getting a Visa?
Hi, I am asked to reappear for the interview due to lack of documents but lost the stamped DS 160 form (stamped during biometric) Will this be an issue during my reinterview ?
I don’t have the stamped copy, the passport has the sticker of the biometric and the bar code that’s all I have So next when I go for the interview will they allow me with the passport with sticker ? I have a non stamped copy of DS form though, will that work
I've created a common folder/file for the visa documents. Can I take the entire file to and throughout the biometrics process or I need to separate those three documents and I'll have to handover the file to the locker and pay 400 INR. ???

Thank you for the information. So biometric happens on same day as interview or did you had to go on two days?
It happens on different days.
Interview is on April but on the website there’s no option to schedule the biometrics
You can not book just the interview. Both appointments are made in one go.
My passport address and DS 160 is different. Hope that should not be a problem for biometric appointment
Interview hogya apka
Do I need to make two appointments, like one for the biometrics and other for the interview on different dates??
