Indian Students US Visa: The US Embassy has made changes to the visa application procedure for Indian students. These modifications are applicable to all embassies in Indian cities. Prospective students who wish to study in the United States under the F, M, and J visa programs should be aware of these changes. According to information posted by the embassy on X (previously Twitter), these modifications went into effect on Monday, November 27.

The US embassy has directed that all F, M, and J student visa applicants utilise their own passport information while creating a profile and booking visa appointments from today, November 27 onwards. The precautionary measure aims to prevent misuse and fraud of the appointment system.

"All F, M, and J student visa applicants must use their own passport information when creating a profile and scheduling their visa appointment. Applicants who have created a profile or booked an appointment using an incorrect passport number will not be accepted at the Visa Application Centers (VAC). Their appointments will be cancelled and the visa fee will be lost," the embassy tweeted.

Attention Students! To prevent fraud and abuse of the appointment system, we are announcing the following policy change which will be implemented beginning November 27, 2023. All F, M, and J student visa applicants must use their own passport information when creating a profile and scheduling their visa appointment.

Applicants who have created a profile or booked an appointment using an incorrect passport number will not be accepted at the Visa Application Centers (VAC). Their appointments will be cancelled and the visa fee will be lost. Any applicant who has created a profile or booked an appointment using an incorrect passport number should either create a new profile containing the correct passport information OR access any existing profile which contains the correct passport information in order to book an appointment. Note that this will require payment of a new visa fee receipt if the old receipt has been attached to a profile with incorrect passport information. An applicant who has recently renewed their passport, or obtained a new passport after the old passport was lost or stolen, may bring a photocopy or other evidence of the old passport number and they will be allowed to proceed with their appointment.
