Change interview location of US B2 visa
I am applying for tourist visa for my parents. In DS-160, I selected the location to be India-Kolkata. However, when I am trying to schedule the interview date and time from here: https://cgifederal.secure.force.com/?language=English&country=India, it defaults the Post of Interview to Hyderabad.
How do we change the interview location to Kolkata ? I understand that it's not an issue to have different interview locations mentioned in DS-160 and in the interview appointment application. But for personal reasons, it would be easier for my parents to travel to Kolkata and hence I want to change the Post of Interview to Kolkata in the visa interview application.
I am not able to find the place to change the Post of Interview. The below image is not from DS-160. It's while filling up the application form for scheduling the visa interview.
Any pointers would be really great.
