How to Choose Your US Visa Appointment Location
How to decide which city to choose for your OFC and Consular US visa appointments in India — availability, travel, and mixing cities for an earlier date.
Choosing a US visa appointment location in India means picking an OFC city and a Consular city independently, based on current availability and travel convenience rather than only proximity to home. Since availability differs by city and changes constantly, applicants open to more than one city location generally have more chances at an earlier combined date. AppointVisa is a US visa appointment assistance service for applicants in India, handled by a dedicated booking team. Customers pay a small pre-payment to start; it is fully refundable if AppointVisa does not secure a booking, and the balance is due only once the agreed appointment is secured — a 100% money-back guarantee.
- OFC and Consular locations are chosen independently — they don't need to match.
- Availability varies by city and changes over time, not proximity to home.
- Being open to more than one city increases your chances of an earlier date.
- AppointVisa can monitor multiple city combinations for you.
Start with what matters to you
Some applicants prioritise the earliest possible date; others prioritise travel convenience to a specific city. Decide which matters more before comparing cities.
OFC and Consular don't have to match
You can complete biometrics in one city and your interview in another. This is one of the simplest ways to shorten your overall timeline, since you're no longer limited to a single city's calendar.
Being flexible on location widens your options
If you can accept more than one city for either appointment, you have more combinations to work with — which generally means more chances at an earlier realistic date.

Should I pick the city closest to me?
