30 Nov and 5,7,8 December are available for Mumbai throughout today, but only for visa renewal category.

For regular category, I saw only Dec 5 available for a short time yesterday midnight (around 3 AM EST on 24 Nov), but it was gone in the morning. Looks like they are opening it one day at a time for regular category. Pretty frustrating!

@gpangu - Only Dec 5th was open for an hour or so. I have been checking dates at late night for last 2 days but no luck, Mumbai is disappeared again. I am not sure when and how they decide which dates to open and since it is morning / afternoon in India, they are taken very quickly ! It is such a pain to wake up at 2:00 AM in the morning just to check dates.

If you are returning worker on H1B, why don't you guys use emergency appointment module on VFS website. If you request emergency appointment with 1 week of time, you should be fine.

Also Mumbai Consulate dates don't open up until 10.00am India Time from my "date shopping" experience for last 2 weeks. Also Mumbai dates only open up max 4 days at a time unlike other consulates which have many days open. Sometimes slots are open 3 days before intereview date so to give time submitting documents. I went to new consulate on 4th business day it opened and they are slowing coming upto speed. You should definitely see more slots open up on a particular day in future as new consulate is huge and has huge churnout every hour of the day.
