Biometric Appointment in India

[AshRK]

Hello all,

I am trying to book biometric appointment for my Father in law and Mother in law, however when I go to schedule an appointment it shown no availability for well over two years. Does anyone know if VFS centers in India is again closed, because I thought the visa centers were open for biometric appointments.

Could someone please assist me with this. Thanks

Hello,

I am in the same boat trying to book an appointment. Any luck finding appointments? Do slots open at a particular time?

I tried calling Indian vfs global helpline numbers but I'm not able to connect with them. Has anyone recently been able to reach out to vfs helpline in India?

Did anybody find an appointment yet?

I was able to book an appointment from the site at Hyderabad. Of course it is more than a month away, so will raise a web form to inform them of the delay.

Guys. I recommend attempting daily between 8:45 AM to 9:30 AM IST . They open up new slots in the morning every few days. You will get it. I managed to get a biometric slot for the very next day (last week).

Additionally, try to find a slot in another city.

Use a separate email id and mobile number to open another account and keep searching for a "better" placement while holding on to the existing appointment.

Thank you for the info. I tried using your suggestion and managed to book for my Dad. But I wasnt able to book for my mom. Now i v been trying this week and they have introduced a new OTP system and that OTP never comes in time for proceeding to biometric booking. Is anyone else facing the same ?
