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.  The H and L visa categories are petition-based and enable a beneficiary to work legally in the United States.  In 2010, Indians applicants received 65 percent of all H1B visas issued worldwide. 

The Consulate will open the appointment schedule on August 26, 2011; the first interview appointments available are on September 6, 2011.  All interviews will be conducted at the Lincoln House Consulate building, located at 78, Bhulabhai Desai Road, until further notice. 

BEWARE that often applicants are delayed in visa issuance for Visas Mantis clearances and name checks.  In addition, meaningful communication by attorneys with the post is difficult.  An expert visa immigration attorney should be consulted before traveling.
