Dropbox appointment at different Consulate than previous one

[prashantsajjan]

Hi ,

Currently I am eligible for dropbox appointment, but dropbox appointment for Chennai Consulate is unavailable. I want to know can I schedule appointment at other locations like Delhi, Kolkata. My last visa was issued by Chennai consulate and I had opted for dropbox last time too.

Any help is greatly appreciated.

Regards,
Prashant

Hello,
I think you can apply for it or wait for few more weeks to see if the dates are open. I recently got a dropbox appointment on Oct 1st 2020.

Did you go through the presidential proclamation? Are you residing in the US currently?

Hi,

Thanks for the response.Yes currently I am in US and I am not seeing any appointment , so my plan is to travel to India and wait for some time and schedule appointment at Chennai. But I have time only till Nov 10. So worst case I wanted to check if I can apply at other location and there is no restriction that we need to apply at previous Visa issued Consulate only.
