The H-1B visa process was already stressful, but the new scheduling portal has made things worse for applicants in India. What was meant to simplify the process has instead become a fresh source of confusion and anxiety.
Glitches Create Panic Among Users
Applicants report that the system randomly books or changes appointments without showing any confirmation page. One wrong click can alter both the Offsite Facilitation Center (OFC) and consular interview slots without warning, leaving users helpless.
Fear of Losing Appointments
Many users just want to reschedule their OFC appointment, but the fear of accidentally changing their consular slot has made them avoid using the site altogether. The lack of transparency means you only find out what changed after it’s too late.
Frustration Builds Despite “New” Portal
For thousands of Indian applicants, the new portal has become more stressful than the visa interview itself. Every day, people log in to check their appointments, only to face errors, blank screens, or unexpected changes that add to their frustration.
Confusing Experience for Indian Applicants
The portal’s glitches have turned a routine process into a guessing game. Many describe it as unreliable and poorly designed, making users nervous even to open their accounts for fear of losing their existing slots.
US System Adds to Visa Woes
The US administration has already tightened rules around visa holders, and this unstable online system makes things worse. For many applicants, these repeated technical failures are crushing their hopes of working in the US and building a career there.
