US visa from Mumbai.

Only two: the B-1/B-2 visitor visa, for tourism, family visits, medical treatment and business meetings or conferences, and the F-1 student visa for a full course at a US school. Arika Visa in Goregaon East, Mumbai, does not process US work, employment, dependant or spouse visas, or any other US category, and says so at the start if your plan needs one.

The visa application fee is US$185 per person, children included, for both B-1/B-2 and F-1, as published by the US Mission in India; confirmed in writing when you apply. F-1 students also pay a separate US$350 SEVIS fee. The visa fee is non-refundable and cannot be transferred. Arika Visa quotes its own service fee separately, in writing, before you pay.

In most cases, yes. Applicants aged 14 to 79 give fingerprints and a photo at the visa centre, and the consular interview follows at least two working days later.

Up to 10 years with multiple entries, as published by the US Department of State; confirmed in writing when you apply. The visa officer may issue a shorter validity.

Arika Visa checks the details on your visa with you when your passport comes back.

An F-1 visa can be issued up to 365 days before your course starts, but you may enter the United States only in the 30 days before the start date, as published by the US Department of State; confirmed in writing when you apply. You need your Form I-20 from the school first. Arika Visa in Goregaon East, Mumbai, plans the appointment around your I-20 and course dates.

Appointment waiting times change constantly, so Arika Visa does not print a fixed figure; your case owner gives you current dates in writing. After an approved interview, the passport is usually ready about 7 to 10 working days later, as published by the US visa information service; confirmed in writing when you apply. Some cases need further administrative processing, which takes longer.
