Hi everyone,
First of all thank you all for the great informative & helping community.I was denied a B-2 Visa last year and now want to apply for B-1 Visa as a trainee in a US based company. I have an email copy of invitation letter ( Is it ok ? or do I need original ? )
from my employer. I am 22 year old and just gave my final year exams waiting for results.
I want to know what will be the wait time between application and appointment if I apply through offline appointment at Mumbai branch of US Consulate. I have already checked http://travel.state.gov/visa/temp/wait/tempvisitors_wait_result.php?post=Mumbai+(Bombay)&x=63&y=16 according to which the wait is 71 Days for B1/B2 visa.
But I think the appointment wait isnt that long and it must be from a cuople of days to weeks. Can someone help me ?
Or anyone who has applied for B-1/B-2 visa through Mumbai Consulate by Offline appointmnent ...can they tell me please how long did you have to wait for your application and interview?
Thank you for reading my post and your time.
