The process

The new visa processing system requires an applicant to log onto website,www.ustravels.com /in to apply for visa. New users have to create an account and fill out the application form. The fee for the visa application can be paid online by Electronic Fund Transfer (ETF) or via mobile phone or can be deposited in cash at 1,800 Axis bank branches. Two separate appointments will have to be scheduled,one for biometrics collection at an Offsite Facilitation Center and another for an interview at the US embassy or consulate.
