US visa appointment help for applicants from Chandigarh

Chandigarh applicants — from Mohali and Panchkula too — use the US Embassy in New Delhi for both biometrics and the interview. Delhi's visitor-visa wait can be long, so watching for released and cancelled dates matters.

Planning the trip from Chandigarh

New Delhi is about 245 km away, around 4–5 hours by road or the Shatabdi. Plan for the Embassy's security rules: carry only the documents you need, since bags and electronics are generally not allowed inside.

  1. 1. DS-160 submitted and MRV fee paid (receipt valid 365 days).
  2. 2. OFC biometrics in a consulate city — passport, confirmation and DS-160 page.
  3. 3. Consular interview, often days or weeks later, possibly in another city.
  4. 4. One free reschedule only — so book dates you can actually travel for.

Dropbox (interview waiver) from Chandigarh

There is no drop-off point in Chandigarh. If the portal says you qualify for an interview waiver, the documents go to a Visa Application Centre in one of the five consulate cities. Since 2025 this mostly applies to same-category renewals of a visa that expired within the last 12 months; officers can still ask for an interview.
