There is no expected regular visa processing reopening date available due to the ever-increasing number of Coronavirus cases in India. Earlier, on Aug 17, 2020, the US embassy in India had announced reopening with very limited appointments. Appointments were to be made available for the US embassy in Delhi, Mumbai, Chennai, Hyderabad, and Kolkata.

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.

Prepare Now for Holiday Travel

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.

As always, Foster attorneys are available to answer specific travel-related questions and provide additional information regarding the requirements for international travel. Foster will continue to monitor visa appointment availability and will provide further updates as appropriate in future Foster Immigration Updates^© and on our firm’s website at www.fosterglobal.com.

This issue is global and is not specific to any particular country or visa category. We apologize for the inconvenience and are working urgently to correct the problem and restore full operability. Currently, we are unable to print immigrant and nonimmigrant visas approved after June 8, 2015. In addition, U.S. Embassies and Consulates are unable to process new visa applications submitted on or after June 9, 2015. Nonimmigrant applicants should schedule their appointmentsat U.S. Embassy/Consulate for a visa interview after June 29, 2015. There is NO need to contact the call center or customer support—simply login to your visa appointment system profile and reschedule both of your appointments.

Overview

Generally, a citizen of a foreign country who wishes to enter the United States must first obtain a visa, either a nonimmigrant visa for temporary stay or an immigrant visa for permanent residence. Citizens of qualified countries may be also able to visit the U.S. without a visa under the Visa Waiver Program. If you do not qualify for the Visa Waiver Program or are traveling to study, work, or participate in an exchange program, you must apply for a nonimmigrant visa.

Applicants for U.S. visas are required to appear in person for an appointment at the Visa Application Center (VAC) and the visa interview at the U.S. Embassy or Consulate. You must schedule the VAC appointment at least one day before the interview appointment date. You can schedule both appointments, either online using this website or through the call center.
