My dad took print out of email for medical at Max New Delhi They accepted it . They did give him 3 vaccines ( not Covid) as part of the requirements. Charged additional Rs 6000 for these.

rahultcs What 3 vaccines did they have to get? Did they take proof of vaccination for the rest?
The embassy has a list of about 14 vaccines - https://in.usembassy.gov/wp-content/...mumbai2017.pdf

It seems that several people have received interview calls this week and so there seems to be a problem for obtaining Bio Metric appointments. Also I notice that DS 260 has an expiry date. What happens if that expires before the interview.

Where you see expiration for DS-260?

I am unable to get the OFC/Biometric appointment for my parents. There are no dates available in Hyderabad or in Mumbai. Is anyone else in the same boat? What happens is we don't get a Biometric date before the interview?

My parents have an appointment on January 14. No biometric slots available in any of the centres. Do I go ahead and book the medical appointments and keep trying for biometric slots?
The number of times you view the appointment slots is limited and if you exceed the limit your account is frozen. This has happened to me.

Any luck with getting biometric slot/appointment ?

Hi all

[Harinder dhindsa]

Try Kolkata for biometric appointment

Log into your account at CEAC and then open the submitted DS 260, right on the top right corner it will give you several details, including an Expiration date.

Getting a Bio metric appointment is very difficult. My sister has her interview on Jan 6, but could get her Biometric appointment for January 30 at Delhi. You are not allowed to go for the interview without PCC and Biometric. Now rescheduling the appointment is one big hassle. My DQ is March 2021.

Not sure what 3 vaccines. Maybe the minimum required for seniors. My dad did not have any vaccination records. No fever etc. after the shots though. They gave a CD and a paper to take to the Embassy at the end of it all.
