B1/B2 - Dropbox OFC appointment
I am trying to renew my parents B1/B2 visa at Hyderabad, however could not find any dates available for OFC dropbox. I see there are some OFC appointments available in New Delhi and Kolkata. Can I schedule an appointment at one the posts and drop my documents at Hyderabad drop off location?
I have reached out to U.S. Visa Service Desk, here is the reply. I wanted to check if my assumption correct about scheduling appointment at New Delhi OFC and dropping off the document at Hyderabad.
Hello Support team,
I hope this message finds you well. I would like to inquire whether it is possible to schedule a dropbox appointment at one location and submit the required documents at a different location. I would appreciate your guidance on this matter and look forward to your response at your earliest convenience.

Dear Applicant:
Thank you for writing to the U.S. Visa Service Desk.
We understand that you would like to know information about scheduling an appointment under interview waiver.
While an appointment is mandatory for submission of your application at any of the five Visa Application Centers, you are not required to schedule an interview at the Embassy/Consulate. Please schedule an appointment date to drop off your passport and visa application materials at one of our eleven locations:https://www.ustraveldocs.com/in/en/drop-off-locations.
Please follow the link: https://www.ustraveldocs.com/in/en/renew-visa to learn more about the interview waiver process.
Applicants may use any of our eleven drop-off locations.
Also, please note that we will not be able to comment regarding appointment availability. You may log in to your profile on: www.ustraveldocs.com/in/en and go through the steps of scheduling an appointment to view current appointment availability.
