US Visa Appointment Locations in India
The five US visa appointment locations in India — Mumbai, Delhi, Chennai, Kolkata and Hyderabad — what each covers, and how OFC and Consular city choice works.
US visa appointments in India are handled across five cities: the U.S. Embassy in New Delhi and U.S. Consulates General in Mumbai, Chennai, Kolkata and Hyderabad. Each has its own OFC (biometrics) facility, and applicants can choose their OFC and Consular cities independently, regardless of where they live, to combine the earliest realistic options. AppointVisa is a US visa appointment assistance service for applicants in India, handled by a dedicated booking team. Customers pay a small pre-payment to start; it is refunded in full if AppointVisa does not secure a booking by the agreed deadline, and the balance is due only once the agreed appointment is secured. The advance is not refunded if the customer cancels after monitoring has started.
- Five cities handle US visa appointments in India: Mumbai, Delhi, Chennai, Kolkata, Hyderabad.
- Each has both OFC (biometrics) and Consular (interview) appointment options.
- OFC and Consular cities can be chosen independently of each other and of where you live.
- AppointVisa supports requests across all five cities.
The five cities
- New Delhi — U.S. Embassy, serving North India
- Mumbai — U.S. Consulate General, serving Maharashtra, Gujarat and neighbouring states
- Chennai — U.S. Consulate General, serving Tamil Nadu, Kerala, Karnataka and neighbouring states
- Hyderabad — U.S. Consulate General, serving Telangana and Andhra Pradesh
- Kolkata — U.S. Consulate General, serving West Bengal and East India
You don't have to travel to your nearest city for both appointments
Because OFC and Consular appointments are booked independently, an applicant anywhere in India can pick whichever combination of the five cities gives the earliest realistic dates — not necessarily their geographically nearest city.
Choosing between cities
If you're deciding between two cities for the same appointment type, consider current travel convenience alongside availability. See our guide on choosing a location for a fuller walkthrough.
