Coverage
New Delhi, Mumbai, Chennai, Hyderabad and Kolkata — watched continuously, with alerts filtered to the consulates you would actually travel to. We are explicit about what is live and what is not, because implied coverage is how people end up paying for alerts that never come.
Embassy of the United States, New Delhi
The US Embassy in New Delhi is the largest US mission in India and covers the northern states. It carries the highest raw appointment volume of any consulate, which means both the most cancellations and the most competition for each one.
US Consulate General, Mumbai
The Mumbai consulate serves western India, including Maharashtra and Gujarat. Demand from the finance and pharmaceutical sectors keeps its H-1B load heavy, and released slots tend to be taken within minutes.
US Consulate General, Chennai
Chennai historically processes the largest share of Indian H-1B and F-1 workload and is the default choice for much of southern India. It is also where the reporting community is densest, which helps detection.
US Consulate General, Hyderabad
Hyderabad serves Telangana and Andhra Pradesh and sees exceptional H-1B and H-4 demand from the IT corridor. For many applicants it is the first consulate to check and the hardest to get into.
US Consulate General, Kolkata
The Kolkata consulate covers eastern India. It is the smallest of the five by volume, which cuts both ways: fewer slots overall, but noticeably less competition when one appears.

Watch more than one
Consulates do not release cancellations in step with each other. Someone watching only Hyderabad misses every Chennai and Mumbai opening in the meantime — and in a backlog this deep, the consulate you are willing to fly to matters less than the appointment you can get.
Adding consulates costs nothing on any plan. Filtering to your visa types and dates is what keeps the extra coverage from becoming extra noise.
Coverage questions
Yes, and you should. Applicants who watch three or four consulates get an appointment materially sooner than those watching one, because releases are not synchronised between them. There is no extra charge for adding more.
Our live coverage is in-person interview slots, which is where the demand moved when interview-waiver eligibility narrowed. Dropbox coverage is on the roadmap; tell us on the form if that is what you need and it moves up the queue.
Planned, not live. We would rather cover two visa types properly than five badly — a service that claims coverage it does not have is the single most common complaint in this category, and we are not going to be another example of it.
Not today. Third-country processing was sharply restricted for Indian nationals, which removed most of the reason anyone was watching consulates elsewhere.
