how to schedule appointment online?

[pras_padmini 1]

Hi,

I'm helping my in-laws fill out their tourist visa application online (B2 visa in India), and the

http://www.ustraveldocs.com/in/ website is really confusing!

So they paid their fee, and there is a "dropbox" letter that basically says "please print a copy

of this and submit it to the nearest application centre", with the name, passport, and receipt number on it.

The thing is, the links to schedule the appointment seem to lead nowhere. Once you get to the dropbox letter,

you can go back to the main page or view the FAQ, no place to schedule the appointment.

Has anyone tried to use this traveldocs.com/in website? Is it better to just call over the phone?

Do they just have to wait a few days after paying the visa fee to schedule their appointment?

Also, I'm trying to access the website from here in the US, so maybe some options are only available

if you're accessing the website from India - is that possible? Or more likely, is there something

wrong with the links on the website?

Any pointers on how to schedule visitor visa appointments would be appreciated

I think calling for appointments seems to be easier and quicker. I have tried to use travel docs before as you said it can be confusing. Try calling instead.

I clicked "no" for visa waiver option, and still there was no option for scheduling.

We're not able to reach anyone over the phone either. Any ideas?

Ok, the issue was resolved. Here is what I did:

1)Waited a few days. Initially, the receipt number is shown, but when you click continue, it takes you to the

dropbox page. Then, a day or two later it shows a blank textbox where you can put the receipt number. If you

enter it, it says "Invalid record". Wait another day or two, and the receipt number is filled in again, and

it takes you to the schedule appointment page.

2)If you are still having issues, click on the "provide feedback". Give your name, passport number, e-mail id

and a screenshot of the page you're having issues with (I sent them the invalid record page)

3)When you get to the appointment page instead of the dropbox page, it is working.

First schedule the consular appointment. Depending on what you choose, time slots before that are available

for OFC appointment. Schedule the OFC appointment as well.

Now it's just waiting, gathering documents, and hoping for the best!

I just sent mail to support with all the information. I'm able to scheduled now after they activated my receipt number.

Planning to appear for interview in 3rd week of Feb.
