No OFC appointments available in India: what to do

Why the OFC (biometrics) calendar shows no dates, how often new OFC slots appear, and the fastest ways to get one.

"No OFC appointments available" means every OFC (biometrics) date shown to your account is taken right now. New OFC dates usually reappear within hours or days through releases and cancellations, and OFC can be booked in any of the five cities, so checking all of them and booking as soon as a date appears is the fastest fix.

Why you see no OFC dates

  • All released OFC dates are booked; new ones come in releases and when others cancel or reschedule.
  • You may be looking at one city only: OFC and the interview can be in different cities.
  • Some calendars only show dates once you have chosen the interview post, so check the order of the booking steps.
  • Too many refreshes can temporarily block your account and hide dates from you.

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.
