Hey everyone in the US visa group! I’m based in Mumbai and need to renew my B1/B2 visa via the Dropbox option. Slots are super hard to book right now – any tips or strategies to snag one quickly? Also, if I miss an appointment, what’s the best way to reschedule without messing up? Oh, and about photo requirements – can I get them done on-site or do I need to prepare? Finally, what’s the essential document checklist and how to handle pickup at the VAC? My travel plans are tight, so any practical advice on location and logistics would be a lifesaver! Thanks a ton! 
Hey! Booking slots in Mumbai can be frustrating, I feel you. Try checking the VFS website multiple times a day, especially early mornings IST. Use multiple browsers or incognito mode – sometimes it helps. Good luck! 
For photos, make sure they’re exactly 2x2 inches, white background, no glasses. If you’re short on time, there’s a photo booth right at the VAC, but better to come prepared. As for docs, don’t forget your old passport, DS-160 confirmation, and fee receipt. Check the official site for the full list!
If you miss your slot, you can reschedule online up to twice, but after that, you might need to start over. Avoid weekends for booking attempts; slots fill up fast. For pickup, it’s usually 3-5 days later – track it online. The VAC is in Andheri, easy to reach by metro. Hope that helps! 
Totally agree on the early morning checks! I just renewed mine last month. Pro tip:Join WhatsApp groups for visa updates in Mumbai – people share when slots open. And yes, documents are key; I almost forgot my employer’s letter. You got this! 
Hey, @adri_wijaya7 I handle a lot of US Dropbox renewals from India 
Slots are tough right now, best trick is to check the portal multiple times a day (early morning/late night) and grab any Mumbai Dropbox slot you see. If you can’t make it, always reschedule inside the portal, don’t no-show.
Carry: current passport, old passport with US visa, DS-160 confirmation, appointment letter, and a fresh 2x2 US visa photo from a studio. For pickup, just wait for the SMS/email and collect from VAC with your ID (or send an authorised person if allowed).
