US embassy to open new visa appointments

The United States embassy in New Delhi and the American consulates general in Mumbai, Chennai and Kolkata will open new visa appointments in all categories, including tourist visas.

In a release, the US mission has asked those who already have a visa appointment to visit the embassy's appointments web site (www.vfs-usa.co.in) to advance the schedule of their interviews.

This was being done, the mission stated, to reduce the wait time for new appointments.
