Visa appointment after paying fee using new appointment system in India

[luck2u]

Can anyone pls let me know whether we can book OFC & visa interview appointments immediately after paying fee in online using http://www.ustraveldocs.com/in/ new appointment system?

Else do we need to wait for any specific number of days as it was in earlier VFS system i.e., after paying in HDFC Bank we need to wait for 24 to 48 hrs as per old appointment system.

Thanks inadvance!!

you cannot book immediately, it may take from minimum 3 hrs to upto 24hrs depending upon which day you did payment thoguh NEFT ( I am talking about NEFT mode only here). If its bank working hours in week day in india it will be 3-5 hrs. If you do payment on saturday noon, you have to wait till monday.

It takes about one business day for the code to become active. Once you make the payment, the next business day you get an email stating that the code is now activated and can be used to schedule the appointment. At least that was what my experience was recently.

Yes , you need to wait 24-48 hrs for the barcode to get activated

Yes, we can schedule appointments as soon as the payment gets updated in STANLEY.. My payment got updated overnight..

After paying the fees, it will be activated within 3 hours and you can proceed and book both the appointments.

Based on their guidelines you need to wait atleast 3 hours. i tried after 10 hours and it worked for me though not sure if it got activated before.
