I plan to create this thread to help future appointment holders to
look for more information on visa interview process. Please post if
you have a success story to share.
My Parents Got visitors visa @ Chennai. On Aug 4th 2006.
They got 10 Year Multiple entry.
They went 15 minutes before the interview time. They said VFS
folks were very helpful at the enterance. It looks like the biometrics
data (finger prints) are taken before the interview.
Here is how it was unfolded at the interview (as told by my Mom).
VO : <smile> Namaskar.
Dad : Namaskar (and handed the folder with DS-156/157).
VO : Where are you going and who is there ?
Mom : "SF , To see our elder son. He is working in <company name> there".
VO : Ah.. I know that company. When did he come to India last time ?
Dad : "Feb 2006"
VO : Who is living with you ?
Dad : "My second son and my father".
VO : Congrats.. visa granted.
Please pay the fee and your pp will come home thru courier.
Mom and Dad : Thank you.
Total time at the consulate: 40 minutes.
VO did not even ask/look at ANY paperwork I sent (not even I-134).
That was surprising to me. They got the pp in 4 working days thru courier.
Overall they felt the experience was very good.
Thanks to this forum. Good luck to all of you who are waiting.
