U.S. Consulate General, Mumbai resumes H and L visa processing The U.S. Consulate General, Mumbai is pleased to announce the resumption of interviews in Mumbai for H and L visas.

Family Interviews
Parents and children should schedule appointments together, even if they plan to travel separately. Each family member needs a DS-160 application barcode and HDFC receipt, and each family member needs an appointment.
If children are applying, either parent may accompany the child to the interview.
If your children are not applying for visas, please do not bring them to the Consulate unless absolutely necessary. There is limited space in the waiting room, which may be uncomfortable for your children, and any added noise makes it difficult for other applicants to hear properly during their interviews.
Groups
P-visa and O-visa applicants/groups should apply together. Each group member is interviewed individually, and each member must completely fill out the DS-160. To schedule an appointment at Consulate General Mumbai, a representative of the group should visit our office, any business day, at 9:00 a.m. with the I-797 (Approval Notice of Action).
