US Consulate in Hyderabad opens student visa appointment slots

The student visa appointment slots are now open at the US Consulate in Hyderabad and other consulates located in Mumbai, Chennai, Kolkata, and the US Embassy in New Delhi.

The appointment slots are open for mid-July to mid-August across India. To secure a slot, candidates log on to the US travel docs website.

India has consistently been a significant source of international students for the United States. In 2022 alone, one out of every five US student visas was issued to Indian students.

Indian students constitute over 21 percent of the total population of international students in the United States. During the 2021-2022



academic year, nearly 200,000 Indian students were enrolled in various educational institutions across the US.

In an effort to enhance its services and accommodate the growing number of visa applicants, the US Consulate in Hyderabad has recently relocated to a new state-of-the-art facility.

The new address of the consulate is Sy. No. 115/1, Financial District, Nanakramguda, Hyderabad, Telangana, 500032. It is the largest US diplomatic mission in South Asia.

With an investment of USD 340 million, the new facility spans a 12.2-acre site and features 54 visa processing windows.
