    Bcuz my biometric on 25 oct 2 pm and interview on 26 oct 7:15 so it is ok ?

    • @muskangupta11_05
      @muskangupta11_05  Год назад

      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.

  • @shivammaahiyadav6228
    @shivammaahiyadav6228 22 дня назад

    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.

    • @muskangupta11_05
      @muskangupta11_05  Год назад

      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 .

    Hello mam
    I hope you are doing well
    I have a question regarding my job application in Canada. My biometric appointment is scheduled for August 25. I want to know if the DS-160 form, as explained in the video, is necessary for everyone or only for obtaining a U.S. visa ❤
