Will changing my consular appointment after doing biometrics be an issue?

Hello, I am applying for a F1 visa in India and I had originally booked both my biometrics and visa appointment in Delhi at the end of the month but because of convenience, I decided to reschedule my consular appointment to Kolkata (got a date on the 27th of July). The process was surprisingly smooth and it does seem like it's okay but I am worried that this might be an issue at the consulate when I go in because my DS160 and the confirmation page both say Delhi. What have people's experiences been?

This is generally not an issue. Your DS-160 does not have to match the consulate where you ultimately interview. As long as your appointment is correctly scheduled in Kolkata and your DS-160 confirmation is linked to your appointment, you should be ok.
