mailvijayk Posted April 6, 2015 Report Share Posted April 6, 2015 Hello Seniors, Basically i am from Andhra Pradesh and currently living in USA. Visiting India and need to get visa stamped (i am on my H1b visa). usually i go to Chennai for stamping(back in 2010) and now when i select my state of residence as "Andhra Pradesh" its auto picking Hyderabad as interview location. I used to live in Andhra Pradesh near Chennai border and would like to go for stamping in Chennai as my stay is very short and my wife has stamping at Chennai consulate too. please advise if Chennai is an option for me or do i have to go only to Hyderabad for stamping. Appreciate your inputs and please guide me how to proceed if Chennai is also an option. Thanks, Vijay Link to comment

mailvijayk Posted April 7, 2015 Author Report Share Posted April 7, 2015 Hello All, Got to know from a friend that after paying the appointment fee we will have a drop down to select the different consulate location. i am moving ahead with this option. Thanks a ton for all your helpful information, Vijay Link to comment
shekar11# Posted April 7, 2015 Report Share Posted April 7, 2015 You will be able to change the consulate after paying the fees. That is at the point of booking dates you will have a drop down of consulates and you can choose Chennai. Link to comment
