My father's US tourist visa got expired last month so I filled in the DS160 form and did the payment. When I was in US Travel Docs website filling the questionnaires before paying the fees I received this below email.
"Congratulations! You qualify for the Interview Waiver. You will need to schedule an appointment to visit a document drop-off location to submit your documents, but you do not need to schedule a visa interview at the U.S. Embassy/Consulate.
Click “Drop-Off” to proceed with your Interview Waiver application.
To proceed with your interview waiver application
Step 1. Schedule an appointment to submit your documents.
Step 2. Print your appointment letter and follow the instructions on it.
Step 3. You should arrive at the time of your appointment. You will not be permitted to enter the facility before the time listed on your appointment letter.
Step 4. Drop off your listed documents at locations mentioned on the appointment letter."
My questions are:
1) Just after the payment, I see the option of Schedule Appointment showing now and I see many available dates at Kolkata OFC to take appointments. My question is, should I go ahead and book a date? I am confused, is this appointment for Biometrics or is this for Document Drop Off? Will there be an option to select as "Drop Off" if I proceed?
Can anyone please guide me please. Thank you.
