There is an OFC office located in all 6 cities in India, where the Consulate or Embassy is located. All applicants are required to surrender their biometric information such as digital photographs and fingerprints. It is compulsory to make an appointment before arriving at the OFC office, and you only need to do this after you have been given an interview slot for a US visa at the Consulate.

The OFC appointment must always precede the US Consular appointment, and there is also a stipulation that it must at least be one day of the Consular appointment. You only need to visit an OFC office once, however if you qualified for an interview waiver you are then not required to visit an OFC.

Effective Monday, August 17, 2020, the U.S. consulates in India will have a limited number of slots available for F and J visa applicants. Per the announcement, emergency student and exchange visitor appointment requests submitted prior to August 12 will be processed first. The consulates will then begin offering F and J visa appointments to the public, with the goal of refreshing the appointment availability and scheduling them two weeks in advance. Due to the limited number of slots available, the consulates do not expect to be able to accommodate all requests prior to the fall start date of most universities.
