The long visa appointment wait times reported over the summer have decreased significantly and U.S. Consulates in India are now reporting the following greatly reduced wait times:

However, even with these shortened wait times, applicants who are living in the United States and planning to travel back to India for a visit over the holiday season should try to book their visa appointment at the earliest possible time. In order to avoid delays in visa issuance, applicants should make sure they have all required documents in hand on the day of their visa appointment. Assuming the visa is approved for issuance, it generally takes only 1-3 business days for return of the passport.

As peak holiday travel season approaches, individuals should review their travel documents and take steps in advance of international travel to avoid or minimize disruptions in their travel schedule, or delays in their ability to reenter the United States in the appropriate classification. Temporary workers and other nonimmigrant visa holders in the United States should also confirm that they have a valid visa for return to the United States following international travel. If a new visa application will be required, applicants should schedule their visa appointments now, as U.S. Consular visa appointment slots fill up quickly in December and January. Visa issuance after an appointment may also be delayed during the holiday season. Applicants are therefore advised to schedule their appointments for a day at the beginning of their trip in order to maximize the time in-country for return of the passport with the visa once the visa is issued.

• Step 3: Schedule a Visa Stamping Appointment at the US Consulate. According to the USCIS, you can apply for visa stamping up to 90 days before the H1B petition start date. This facility is provided, since there is always a mad rush for booking slots at various consulates.
• After months of low-key response, the H1B visa scheme, which was once most sought after among Indian professionals, is suddenly appearing to be in demand again, with just 800 of the 65,000 slots remai.

There is an OFC office located in all 6 cities in India, where the Consulate or Embassy is located. All applicants are required to surrender their biometric information such as digital photographs and fingerprints. It is compulsory to make an appointment before arriving at the OFC office, and you only need to do this after you have been given an interview slot for a US visa at the Consulate.

The OFC appointment must always precede the US Consular appointment, and there is also a stipulation that it must at least be one day of the Consular appointment. You only need to visit an OFC office once, however if you qualified for an interview waiver you are then not required to visit an OFC.
