Apply For Usa Visa In India

For anyone who wants to apply for a USA tourist visa, business visa, student visa, or a work permit, you need to visit the U.S. Consulate General in Chennai. This consulate is also your one-stop destination for all U.S. visa services in India and nearby countries.

Lately there had been many changes In the F1 Visa rules and regulations, which have affected the visa applicants or applicants whose applications are pending. Therefore, we like to recommend you to have a word with our experts who can enlighten you regarding the current situation of this visa while providing a keen understanding of the US laws.

Routine B1/B2 Appointments

The U.S. Mission to India is pleased to resume processing of routine in-person B1/B2 visas appointments starting in September 2022.  Please note, these appointments are not placeholder appointments.

Important Notice: Visa Services

The Department of State has authorized consular officers to waive the in-person interview requirement for certain categories of visa applicants through 31 December 2022. This new authorization applies to travelers applying for F, H-1, H-3, H-4, non-blanket L, M, O, P, Q, and academic J visas who were previously issued any type of visa, if they are applying for a visa in their country of nationality or residence. This authorization does not apply to applicants who have a previous refusal that was not subsequently waived or overcome. Adjudicating consular officers may request an in-person interview if additional information is required from applicants.

Applicants renewing any visa within 48 months of expiration also continue to be eligible for interview waiver.

Due to reduced staffing and numerous pandemic-related disruptions to our operations since March 2020, appointment demand is high across all visa categories and wait times may be lengthy for most routine nonimmigrant visa appointments at the U.S. Embassy New Delhi and the consulates in Chennai, Hyderabad, Kolkata, and Mumbai.
