Reschedule Appointment

[MuraliKanna]

Hi,
I have done my OFC at Hyderabad OFC. My visa interview is on 10th of
October at Hyderabad Consulate.

Can I reschedule the appointment?
Can I change the location of consulate?
If I can reschedule and change the location, then do I need to go for
biometrics again?


Please help. Thanks in advance

Yes, you can reschedule and change consulate within India. Not sure about biometrics.

Yes, you can, it's just started. I received a bulletin from MurthyIndia giving a process on how to do this. I deleted that email. Keep checking Murthy India website, hopefully they will soon publish the bulletin under "News" section.

Thanks for the reply.

I see an option Reschedule Appointment, but don't find my appointment however I can see my appoinment in Cancel Appointment.

Tip: Before you cancel or make any changes make sure the dates are available at new location too.

As per Murthy India bulletin, you need to send a request to US consulate email and ask them to release CEAC pin. As I mentioned, I deleted that bulletin, so could not tell exact email id.
