U.S. Consulate in Mumbai Moves to New Facility Effective Nov. 15
The U.S. Consulate General Mumbai will close its locations this month at Lincoln House in Breach Candy and at the American Center in Churchgate, and will move to its new facility in the Bandra Kurla Complex (BKC). The new U.S. Consulate General at BKC features expanded space for consulate operations, including 44 interview windows for services to visa applicants and U.S. citizens.
The Lincoln House operation will close its doors to the public on Nov. 15 and reopen on Nov. 21 at the new BKC location. Due to the move, the consulate cannot provide visa services between Nov. 15 and 21. Consular officers will host a webchat on Nov. 9 at 7 p.m. to answer specific questions about the shift and its effect on consular services. Additional information related to the Lincoln House closing can be found on the consulate's website.
The American Library at New Marine Lines near Churchgate has already closed and will reopen to the public shortly after consular operations begin at the new consulate on Nov. 21.
The new consulate compound will house all United States Government offices in Mumbai, including the Department of State, the Foreign Commercial Service, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration and the Foreign Agricultural Service. The new consulate also features state of the art green technology, including high-efficiency lighting, a gray-water recycling system, and a self contained waste water treatment facility.
