B visa - can we get an early appointment?

[atlantabhopali]

Hello Folks,

As most of you know, the next available dates for B visa intervier is in Aug at Mumbai. My parents in law need to visit US sooner than that. Is there anyway we can get an appointment in May/June/July timeframe? I have heard about some folks that book all the dates, and then later release them for a small amount - is that true and can they be reached?

Please let me know. You can either reply here or send me a personal message using this website if you prefer.

Thanks,

- ab

There is NO way you can get earlier date at your choice...but yes, if you have any emergency situation and the consulate can consider......

hello folks
i was in the same situation few days ago. initailly i got my parents appointment in chennai at end of August and i kept checking the ttsvisas website frequently several times daily and finally i was able to find the spot in May and now they also got their visas. i can't believe everything happened so fast!
so, i would suggest you to keep checking the check availabilty website several times daily and i'm sure you will find earlier appointments. you can reschedule as many times
as you want if you find any earlier dates.
I also checked for the people like you said who would block the spots etc. that's all wrong. i contacted somebody in india like that and you need to give them Rs.2000 or more and they don't do nothing but they will keep checking for early available dates, which you can do it on your own. to do that you need to give all the passport details for them, which i think it is not a good idea to give your personal details to someone whom you don't know.
