SPPP Posted November 9, 2011 Report Share Posted November 9, 2011 Hello Guys... I am looking for a date in December too for Mumbai.. Its not showing up on the VFS website... Is there any other way to find out the current available dates ? Link to comment
keyurpatel80 Posted November 9, 2011 Report Share Posted November 9, 2011 Hi Just spoke with VFS Helpline. They said date will open for 21st, 22nd, 23rd today or tomorrow. Link to comment
aHappyTexan Posted November 9, 2011 Report Share Posted November 9, 2011 Guys, Mumbai consulate is moving to a new location. Not sure if they show dates for the new location or not. I was following the Mumbai schedule for the last month and a half. Their pattern was that they opened one day at a time about 7-8 calendar days (not business days) in advance at the 78 Bhulabhai Desai Road location. I took my apointment for Nov. 8th on Nov. 3rd.

rajuchandnani Posted November 10, 2011 Report Share Posted November 10, 2011 Friends, I need to booked the visa appoitment date for Nov. Before that I would like to get clarification wheather we need to submit the document in advance i.e. 3-7 days at US embassy before appearing for ther interview? Link to comment
bhaveshlad27 Posted November 10, 2011 Report Share Posted November 10, 2011 You need to submit your document in Mumbai between the 5th working day to the 3rd working day before your visa interview. Say your interview is on Friday, the last day when you can submit your document will be the Wednesday before it. Link to comment
wizkid Posted November 11, 2011 Author Report Share Posted November 11, 2011 Guys, was anyone able to book appointments in Mumbai?? I was checking last night and it shows Delhi and Chennai dates when you put in Mumbai....anyone else notice this change? I tried calling VFS helpline but they are shut for Veterans Day.

sach123 Posted November 11, 2011 Report Share Posted November 11, 2011 I still don't see any dates for 21,22 Nov. following 8-12AM Indian time form EST. Do we need to submit one of the HDFC receipt while submitting documents to VFS Mumbai 3 business days before? Link to comment
wizkid Posted November 11, 2011 Author Report Share Posted November 11, 2011 Yes. I think you have to submit one of the copies of the HDFC receipt, along with other required docs to VFS three working days in advance of your appt. Link to comment
syn23 Posted November 12, 2011 Report Share Posted November 12, 2011 Does anyone knows why are the dates not available for the visa appointment at the mumbai consulate. I am looking around 21st Nov. Link to comment

wizkid Posted November 13, 2011 Author Report Share Posted November 13, 2011 It is a complete mystery as to why Nov. 21 onward dates are not opening up in Mumbai....I have been checking for the dates for the past week and a half, but in vain....The consulate is closed from Nov. 15 to Nov. 18, as it is relocating to the new location (BKC)....most people are taking appointments in other consulates such as Delhi, Hyderbad and Chennai.....Let's hope some Link to comment
rajuchandnani Posted November 14, 2011 Report Share Posted November 14, 2011 i just got the dates for mumbai for Nov 29. It seems there are no dates available before Nov 29. Link to comment
faithalways Posted November 14, 2011 Report Share Posted November 14, 2011 rajuchandnani - I just checked and nothign shows up for Mumbai Consulate! Were there dates available for Dec 16th onwards? Thanks! Link to comment
bhaveshlad27 Posted November 14, 2011 Report Share Posted November 14, 2011 Hi Raju, When did they open the dates for Mumbai. I have been looking for them every hour last night. R u sure they opened for Nov 29? Link to comment
wizkid Posted November 14, 2011 Author Report Share Posted November 14, 2011 Yes, I was constantly checking last night - only Nov. 29 opened up for Mumbai and was available for quite some time and then in the morning it was gone....I am not sure if more dates will be released today as the consulate is shut from Nov. 15 to Nov. 19.

sach123 Posted November 15, 2011 Report Share Posted November 15, 2011 On VFS website, in document checklist for Mumba cosulate, there is nothing mentioned about submitting one of the copies of the HDFC receipt to VFS center three working days in advance of your appt. It mentioned to carry during interview time. If anyone submitted documents to VFS, did they ask for the HDFC receipt? Link to comment
rajuchandnani Posted November 15, 2011 Report Share Posted November 15, 2011 it showed nov 29 availability only for 15 mins. It didn't show any other day as available. Link to comment
Live4GC Posted November 15, 2011 Report Share Posted November 15, 2011 Hello Wizkid, Can you tell me which timezone/state you live in the US and exactly at what time you saw it available ? Thanks !! Link to comment
