Hello All,
Background:
My parents applied for TRV online and they received biometrics request.
The nearest VFS centre for me is Kolkata (North-East).
Now the problem is they have a first come first serve system for booking the appointment for bio-metrics.
They ask for the mobile number and then you receive the OTP.
Once the OTP is submitted they will schedule an appointment. Basically you can not select the time and date as per your convenience.
Currently the trend is you get appointment 2 to 3 days after.
This is hard for people who need to travel by AIR/Train to the VFS location. The tickets are expensive.
Note:
I am already trying to get in touch with VFS call centre but they are closed for public holiday(26th Jan) and sometimes they have long waiting times.

Questions:
- Can we use different mobile numbers for scheduling appointment ?
Because once you cancel the appointment you are blocked for next 5 calendar days from the date of appointment.
e.g. I can book multiple appointments from different mobile numbers (e.g. my father's , mother's or mine) - Anybody tried this approach ?
- Does VFS check mobile number used while scheduling appointment or the applicant name ?
Any inputs/directions are welcome !
