Confused !Case transferred from New Delhi to Mumbai

[rajtpd 4]

I just called NVC and they told me the case got assigned to BMB. Does anyone know if Medical from Delhi or Chandigarh will be accepted @ BMB? I looked thru the list of authorized medical facilities on BMB website and it does not mention that. Any one know?

•  We asked RapidVisa, the company online we use to do our paperwork, I asked this same question about medical done at Delhi due to my spouse living in Delhi. The answer they gave me was, " In this case, since it is with the Mumbai US Embassy, the VAS appointment for the Biometrics would need to be completed on the same Embassy. You can request for this to be done in a different location though but from experience, it would be required by the Embassy themselves that this gets completed with them."

This would mean multiple trips from Chandigarh to Mumbai. Does anyone have the official letter from Embassy telling them the medical will have to done in Mumbai?

I called Mumbai consulate, they gave me the phone number of US Travel Docs helpdesk, which said the following:
 

1. Visa Application Center, not the consulate, will handle the biometrics/fingerprinting. They have 4 VAC locations throughout India, and said you can get it done at any location irrespective of your interivew consulate.

2. Visa Application Center is also the place where you pick up the passport once its ready (around 3 days after the interview is what I've read).

2. Also said that Medical can be done at any of the panel physicians approved by any US consulate in India. I would really like some confirmation of this, directly from the embassy, but haven't been able to receive that yet. 

 

 

See below for the Visa Application Center locations.

I was told the same thing by US Travel Docs. Has anyone used other Medical center from other US consulates in India?

Same with me. My Parents case was transferred from NWD to BMB.

I decided to get the medical done in Mohali as well. 

 

Both the US Travel Docs staff and the medical clinics have confirmed that the we can do the interview at any of the approved panel physicians, including the Mohali or New Delhi.

 

I would have liked to hear an official confirmation from US Consulate or NVC, but I am fine with the current level of assurance that I've gotten from the Indian support staff. 

 

Anyone else following this advice will have to make their own decision.

My fiance did his medical at the MAX in Delhi and biometrics at the Delhi VAC early in March. He had his K1 interview in Bombay on March 16 and there were no issues with his biometrics or medical being completed elsewhere.

Thanks for sharing your feedback, this will save people a lot of time.

Excellent, thanks for sharing. We have also done our medical and this weekend bio in Delhi, with our interview in Mumbai. Glad to see we shouldn't have problems with doing it in another city.
