Regular visitors to MurthyIndiaDotCom and Subscribers to MurthyIndiaBulletin may be aware that the geographic restriction that an application for nonimmigrant visa should be made at the U.S. consulate or Embassy with jurisdiction over the applicants domicile was relaxed towards the end of 2010. This was reported on December 03, 2010.

While scheduling an appointment using the VFS website – a warning appears that this benefit is applicable only to applicants opting for visa interview in English or Hindi. Applicants opting for other languages need to apply only from the Consulate / Embassy having jurisdiction over their domicile. It appears that there is no specific update either in VFS or any Consular / Embassy website on this.
