Check B1/B2 visa slots in India
Where B1/B2 business and tourist visa slots are opening, which applicants still qualify for dropbox, and how to get an earlier interview.
B1/B2 visa slots in India are booked on usvisascheduling.com. Visitor interview dates are among the hardest to find, so most applicants book the earliest available date and then watch for earlier openings at any of the five posts. Renewals of a full-validity B1/B2 within 12 months of expiry may qualify for an interview waiver.

B1/B2 slots in India
- First-time B1/B2 applicants need an interview; visitor interview waits are usually the longest of all categories.
- Since 2 September 2025, interview waivers are limited mainly to renewals of a full-validity B1/B2 visa that expired within the last 12 months (check eligibility on the official site).
- OFC slots open more often than interview slots; you can book OFC and interview in different cities.
- Parents and senior citizens travelling together can be booked in one group.
Why a slot tracker beats refreshing the portal
Refreshing the portal all day is tiring, and repeated logins can get your account temporarily blocked. A tracker shows when and where openings are being seen, so you log in at the right moment and choose the right city.
AppointVisa's monitoring watches OFC and interview availability across all five posts; SlotWatch, our sister site, publishes what it sees with exact dates and Telegram alerts. If you'd rather not watch at all, our team books the slot for you on the official portal.
How US visa slots work in India
- Most applicants need two appointments: OFC (biometrics at an Offsite Facilitation Center) and the consular interview at the US Embassy in New Delhi or the Consulates in Mumbai, Chennai, Hyderabad or Kolkata.
- Dates are booked only on the official scheduling site, usvisascheduling.com, after the DS-160 and the MRV fee.
- Openings appear when the posts release new dates or when other applicants cancel or reschedule. Many are taken within minutes.
- Your OFC and interview cities can be different, which widens the dates you can choose from.
Want us to book it for you?
AppointVisa's team watches availability and books your OFC and interview on the official portal when a date that suits you opens. A small pre-payment starts your request and is refunded if we don't book by the agreed deadline; the balance is due only after we book.
