VFS site says you can book your appointment anywhere in India

just read this info FYI only......double check though. Good luck.

https://www.vfs-usa.co.in/ApplnForms/RulesAndFees/ConsularDistrict.aspx

or go to 1. www.vfs-usa.co.in
then 2. click on Fees and FAQs
3. click on Consular Districts



go to the paragraph after 4.Kolkata ....

If you are a resident of India, you are required to select your current ‘State of Residence’ where you have been residing for the past six months or longer. Later in the process, when you are scheduling your interview, you may see calendars offering dates at more than one post. If you are a fluent English speaker and have not been previously refused a visa, you may select an interview date from any post shown. If you are not fluent in English or were previously denied a visa, you must select a date only from the post covering the area where you reside. Applicants denied a visa can only seek to have the decision reviewed by reapplying at the post where the denial occurred.

Indian citizens resident in the USA on work permit and applying for a new visa to replace an expiring visa can request an appointment at any of the four visa sections.
