A recent update on the official information website of the U.S. missions in India indicates that there may be a longer wait on day of interview for non-immigrant U.S. visa applicants. This delay is on account of temporary facilities issues at the U.S. Consulate in Chennai. This alert urges applicants scheduled for a visa interview prior to August 31, 2018 to reschedule the interview to a future date, if the travel is not urgent. This can be done by loging into the applicant’s profile at https://cgifederal.secure.force.com/?language=English&country=India.

We will continue to monitor and bring any updates on this subject.
