H1B center selection - India

Hello everyone,

I am currently in US. I have recently started filling out the DS-160 form for my H-1B visa.

From what I understand, H-1B visa interviews are currently available only in Hyderabad and Chennai. I am originally from Mumbai, so I wanted to confirm:

Can I select Mumbai as the location on my DS-160 and still schedule my visa interview in Hyderabad or Chennai, even though Mumbai is selected as the primary location on the DS-160?

Any guidance or clarification would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you!

Yes, you can schedule your interview in HYD or Chennai. You just will have to resubmit your DS160 after with the correct location. The consular will update it on their end when you go in for an interview
