Hi, if you’ve been through the Dropbox process in Hyderabad I have some questions! TIA 🙏🏼 While filling my DS-160, I chose the Hyderabad center, but booked an appointment in Chennai. The document delivery type says pick up - Hyd. 1. Do I need to fill a new DS-160 to update the location to Chennai? 2. Can I drop off my documents in Bangalore? 3. When my passport is ready, do I have to pick it up at a location in Hyd, and not Chennai? 4. I’ve heard of visa agents being able to get you slots in Hyd, I’m not sure how that works but has anyone been able to use this service? 5. What’s the average time to get your stamped passport back? #h1b #workvisa
For Dropbox, now they have made it location independent. https://redbus2us.com/us-visa-dropbox-india-drop-off-at-any-location/ You just have to pay RSU 600 extra in case it’s different the. Your appointment location.
Thank you!
That is an old post I think. Not sure if it can still be done
You can drop your documents at any location now. Even if you book Chennai, you can drop at Hyderabad at same time and have to pay I think 850Rs per applicant. You can check the appointment confirmation page. I also got Chennai and planning to drop my documents at Mumbai. I am still not clear if I need to submit DS 160 again with Chennai location as current DS 160 I filled, I selected Mumbai as my location.
Oh wow this would really simplify things! Do you have a website with official documentation where I can read about this? On the confirmation page I do see other locations listed, but I’m not sure it says it’s okay to drop off documents at any location irrespective of where we booked the slot. And how do I pay the extra 850 rupees?

You can submit at any location, I did the same recently.
That’s awesome! How long did it take you to get your passport back? And What did your DS-160 say? My DS-160 location is Hyderabad, appointment is for Chennai VAC, and I want to submit documents in Bangalore. (Pick up in Hyd is fine)
Around 10-12 days. My DS-160 was Kolkata, appointment was Hyderabad, submitted in Kolkata. Pick up in Kolkata. you can choose your pick up at any centre.
Thank you for your responses everybody. So it seems like I don’t have to change the location on my ds-160, that can remain as Hyderabad, while my appointment is in Chennai and I drop documents in Bangalore.
Try calling the customer care and getting it changed to premium delivery to home address. Best method imo
The customer care of USvisaScheduling? And even if I change the delivery, I still have to travel to Chennai to submit the documents right?
