US Visa Application Centers (VAC) locations are used by the visa applicants to submit biometric information, including their fingerprints and digital photograph. One VAC is located in each city where the Embassy or a Consulate is located. The visa application call center services will be closed only on Saturdays, Christmas, New Year’s, Holi, and Diwali.
You must take an appointment in advance before visiting the VAC. You will take an VAC appointment after you take the appointment for a U.S. visa interview at the embassy/consulate. The VAC appointment must be at least one day in advance of the consular appointment. In that case, the applicants have no choice but to visit that city twice. The embassy/consulate may make the effort in future to be able to accommodate both appointments on the same day, but it is not guaranteed.
However, each applicant needs to visit VAC only once and not when renewing the visa in the future. Over time, it is expected that number of applicants that need to visit the VAC will reduce. In other words, a VAC appointment is not required for those that qualify for the interview waiver program.
