Hi there. You are welcome. The OFC is for biometrics. Select options from the dropdown. If you are luck enough you will get a date by clicking any of the embassies. But would recommend you to select Mumbai. Once the OFC is booked the next page would be consular interview page. So a separate dats would be allocated. It could be 1 month apart between two dates or 4 days or a week. Thnx

Pls put the DS 160 number in this column.

Completed my biometrics and now heading for medical on Wednesday. Thank you God for everything.

Finally a sheer luck. Got my slots last Thursday. Biometrics today and interview on 7th Nov. Friend helped me book my slot. Can't thank her enough.

It's Ishani. Yes I was part of the telegram group and just tired of those agents texting me that they would help me with slots. I connected to a WhatsApp K1 group before joining telegram. That's where came to know about visa slots .. But I left the group as one person was trying to demean me. I was answering to all the queries of the applicants out there and this person was interfering. I left the group. And by the grace of God one person in the group who became my friend before joining the group booked my slot. I never lost hope in this entire process. I am sorry I am no more a part of the group though. But I have joined a small group. I will speak to the admin to send you a link. Pls send me your contact number. Will try my best to assist you. As of today I am heading to Mumbai for my biometrics. My interview is on the 7Nov.

I am so sorry that you are struggling for a slot. I was in the same boat as your until last Thursday got lucky. Pls check every Mon to Thursday between 3 pm to 6:30 pm IST. They do release. Last Monday and Tuesday they had a mass release of slots. Also they release slots randomly. Wishing you the best.

Yes they did release some massive slots for a good time frame on Tuesday but not Wednesday. Unfortunately I wasn't able to book.

The slots were released today around 3pm. Pls make sure to check on Mon to Wed between 3pm to 6pm. High chances of slot availability.

You can do the biometrics in Delhi and ya interview in Mumbai.

They should release the K1 slots for fall. It's high time. Beneficiaries who are on Twitter should tweet on The Embassy site in Mumbai.

How to join the whatsapp K1 India group? I am looking forward to join it. Really tired of finding slots. Slots are being randomly released. Thnx

Once the status shows ready. Pls go ahead and fill the DS 160, pay the visa fees and schedule appointment. Now a days the Embassy In Mumbai is not sending any letter to many applicants. Quite limited in sending. Either you might receive in a week or so or might not. Don't wait. Download the k1 visa package 4 by visiting the U.S Embassy site Mumbai and proceed. Your welcome letter from NVC is the main. If there is no invoice id generated on the welcome letter. Pls email NVC for an invoice. You need invoice id and case number to fill DS 160. The case number is already present on the K1-FTP welcome letter from NVC. Hope this helps. Thnx

Any update on slots?

Dear, I have no other info regarding your questions. I guess the OFC slots also opens for various targeted categories of visa. It might be a technical glitch also. I have submitted queries on that site. But no one is responding. My case is still open. All we have to do is just to keep trying. Their main focus is on approving 1 million B1/B2 visas till 2023 end. I am optimistic that the slots will open soon for K1.

I got some information regarding K1 visa opening slots from my immigration attorney. So as per her once there are large number of applicants after paying visa fees, it's then when they open slots. This year the maximum slots at the Embassy in Mumbai was opened in the month of May. This is as per my analysis. This slot opening after receiving a majority set of applicants who are about to appear for interview is global not only confined to U.S Embassy. Like in Manila the slots for K1 is throughout except some scenarios as there are lots of K1 applicants for interview. This is all analysis, I might not be 100% correct.

You can ping me here.

My Fiance is trying U.S times and me IST times for slots but to our utter dismay same message.. No slots available. We should tweet.

Yes will let you know dear. It's quite fishy! Either they will not open the slots for sometime or there is some big technical glitch on this new portal post server change. It's quite frustrating. But we will get the slots.

Hello there, Greetings! I am in the same boat. I am trying to find slots but no slots available. I am consistently trying at midnight, evening, morning and after noon. Seems no luck. All this is due to new server change. I don't know what to do. Someone said try to find between 1pm to 4pm IST, someone said 11pm to 6am IST. I am lost. This is so annoying and frustrating. Please keep me updated if you find a slot. Thanks in advance.
