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

I checked all the centres but it keeps on showing no appointment available and I am checking till 2023 and it still shows the same. I have used different computers as well. Could you please share the link through which you booked it.

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?

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 ?
