Posts in India (including Hyderabad and Chennai), Ireland and Vietnam thus far have been unilaterally rescheduling visa appointments currently scheduled on or after December 15, 2025, many to March 2026 or later.
Limited Rescheduling: Applicants who cannot attend on the new date may reschedule online, but are limited to one opportunity to reschedule. Fee receipts older than one year are considered expired and cannot be used to reschedule. Missing or canceling the rescheduled appointment may result in forfeiture of the fee.
If you travel abroad in anticipation of a visa appointment, be prepared to remain abroad for an extended period of time. Monitor your appointment portals for any updated appointment letters or other notifications.
