Regular visitors to MurthyIndiaDotCom and Subscribers to MurthyIndiaBulletin may be aware that the applicants opting for visa interview English or Hindi could apply at anyone of the U.S. Consulate / Embassy within in India from December 03, 2010. Previously, even if one had chosen a different Consulate / Embassy under the location option while completed the form DS160; the applicant could go ahead and schedule the visa interview at any one of the U.S. Consulates or Embassy in India.

While scheduling an appointment using the VFS website – we noticed that a new warning appears that applicant should ensure the appropriate consular post is selected while completing the DS 160. The warning also indicates that the applicant should modify the appropriate consular post and generate the Confirmation Page before scheduling the visa interview, even if s/he has selected a different consular post. There is no specific update either in VFS or any Consular / Embassy website on this. This warning just appears while scheduling the visa interview.
