Starting from April 30 2007, English-speaking visa applicants from the Chennai Consular District can no longer apply for a tourist visa at the U.S. Embassy in New Delhi. This information has been updated on the VFS website and can be viewed by clicking here.

This notification clarifies that Business and BEP applicants from the Chennai consular district can continue to apply for a visa at the U.S. Embassy, New Delhi. This update carries a note for student visa applicants, reminding them that they need to apply for a visa only at U.S. Consulate General, Chennai.

Further, this notification confirms that English-speaking nonimmigrant visa applicants from Mumbai consular district (except students) can apply for a visa at the U.S. Embassy, New Delhi by scheduling an appointment through VFS system.

It may be noted that we had reported that the U.S. Embassy, New Delhi in a notification in December 2006 had indicated that English-speaking nonimmigrant visa applicants could apply for a visa at U.S. Embassy in New Delhi or US Consulates in Mumbai or Chennai.
