Hi All. I’m trying to get a US travel visa for in-laws. Have submitted DS160 and paid fees. But not able to get any appointments in Chennai location. Any workaround? The website doesn’t allow me to select another location.

I thought that consulates haven't opened dates for tourist visas yet. And even for H1B and H4, the Chennai consulate just canceled all appointments for February and March 2021. My friend got an email and then was able to find a last minute appointment in Chennai for this Wednesday so she flew out over the weekend to India (H1)

All consulates are closed

To all the people searching PGs, i would suggest not to go with any online bookings like nestaway, zolostays.

The ideal thing is to land in hyderabad, book a hotel for two days and then go to office nearby area and search for PGs, you will get 100+ pgs in each location. Have a look at the room size, ventilation , bed size , if required taste the food also before booking PG. In case you need flat then also you will see " To let " boards everywhere, just call the number
