In a recent development the US Embassy, New Delhi has announced that English speaking Nonimmigrant Visa applicants could apply for their visa from either US Embassy in New Delhi or US consulates in Mumbai or Chennai. Applicants should use the VFS (http://www.vfs-usa.co.in)  website to schedule the appointment. This applies only for applicants who are very fluent in English and who have not been previously refused a visa.

After you select your current ‘State of Residence’ where you have been residing for the past six months or longer you will be able to see calendars offering dates at more than one Consular post. The update clearly indicates that if you are a fluent English speaker and have not been previously refused a visa, you may select an interview date from any post shown. Further, if you are not fluent in English or were previously denied a visa, you must select a date only from the post covering the area where you reside. Applicants denied a visa can only seek to have the decision reviewed by reapplying at the post where the denial occurred.

Please note that if you do not fulfill the criteria, please abstain from choosing a different post. This will adversely affect decision on your application.
