B1\ B2 Visa Renewal Interview weaver - OFC appointment New Delhi VAC, document drop at Chennai VAC?

USA B1/ B2 Visitor Visa
1

Dear Team,

Applying B1\B2 Visa Renewal Interview Renewal for parents, seen the below details on the US Visa Scheduling portal effective 1st April so seeking the clarification.

“”““Regardless, of the location of the consular post for which the interview waiver appointment is scheduled, applicants can still submit their documents free of cost at any of the five Visa Application Centers in Chennai, Hyderabad, Kolkata, Mumbai, or New Delhi””“”

As currently only New Delhi VAC is having appointments for B2 Visa Renewal - Interview weaver category, Pls. suggest if the applicants can submit the documents at Chennai VAC at the same time for which appointment is booked at New Delhi.

For example if the applicants book B2 Visa Renewal Interview Waiver case appointment for New Delhi VAC at 29th April 10 AM, can at the same time instead of going to New Delhi VAC can the applicants visit Chennai VAC and provide the documents and finger prints ?

Did any one of you gone through this experience recently, Pls. help.

Thanks in Advance.

Thanks kumar, we are not aware and so the question.
We submitted application after call to VFS and got the clarification.

Booked B2 visa slot at New Delhi VAC, at the appointment date visited Chennai VFS office, only one applicant was asked to come inside and submit the documents, only DS-160 , appointment confirmation letter and fee receipt was taken, all other documents including letter etc are all returned, all process finished in 15 mins.

  2. i marked as Person paying as son ( myself), submitted employment proof, bank statement and visa documents.

VISA is still under processing, its been 10 days since we submitted the documents.
