Apply for a Immigrant Visa:
The visa appointment system is intended for eligible applicants who have received notification that they must schedule an appointment.

How to Apply :
Starting January 1, 2014, immigrant visa applicants must complete the following steps prior to attending consular interview appointments.

Apply Here : https://www.ustraveldocs.com/

Step 1 :
Obtain your Police Clearance Certificate from the Regional Passport Office (The validity of the PCC is one year from the date of issue. Bring the new PCC if the one you have submitted has already expired.) Also note that if you have lived in any foreign country for more than a year after reaching the age of 16 years, you are also required to submit the PCC from that country.

Note :
Without the Indian police clearance certificate, you will not be allowed entry into U.S. Embassy New Delhi or U.S. Consulate Mumbai on your interview date. If you do not have your police clearance certificate in time, you will need to reschedule your appointment for a later date.

Step 2 :
Complete your medical examination with an approved panel physician from the list available for Mumbai Immigrant applicants at : mumbai.usconsulate.gov/medical_examination2.html

Step 3 :
Follow the instructions below to complete the DS-260 form online at https://ceac.state.gov/ceac. If you provided a DS-260 to NVC already, go to step 4. To complete the DS-260 you will need to retrieve the Invoice ID Number and each traveling applicant’s Beneficiary ID Number from the “Notice to Applicant” page of your appointment letter.

If you do not have an appointment letter, your Invoice ID and Beneficiary ID Numbers can also be found on the Immigrant Visa Application Processing Fee Bill Invoice, you or your petitioner received prior to paying your IV fees through the National Visa Center. If your petitioner no longer has the Fee Bill Invoice, they should obtain the invoice ID number from NVC.

Be sure to read the guidelines for completing the DS 260 form carefully. All information must be correct and accurate. Once the form is submitted, you cannot make any changes. If you need assistance, please consult an immigration lawyer or translator. The call center cannot help you complete your DS-260 form.

Step 4 :
Print the DS-260 form confirmation page.

Step 5 :
You are almost ready to schedule your visa appointment! Make sure you have your Indian police clearance certificate before you log on to schedule your interview.
