Chennai Feb Interview Thread!

No Title

I think we just have to be patient until they publish the dates
on the web site. Theres nothing much you can do about before that.
 
Things to do while waiting

1. Have you guys applied for PCC at the consulate? I applied on Dec 28th at Indian consulate in NYC

2. I have blocked ticket for feb 8th night in Singapore airlines.
Nothing available on British Airways and Lufthansa during that time. Are there any flights that go directly to Chennai? I mean not thru Mumbai or Delhi.

Any inputs will be appreciated.
 
Costa: Direct flights to Chennai

The airlines I know off are Lufthansa, BA, Singapore and cathay pacific. You may want to check air france, malaysian and garuda as well.

Called yesterday... Feb likely.... call after 10 days

Called chennai consulate yesterday, they said that our interview has not been scheduled yet, call after 10 days. When asked when is it likely they said Feb. Atleast the last part is good.

Rajesh thanks for the other flight names, I will check them out today. Malasian is ruled out as it flies through LA and it costs 1380, I live NJ.

I have a question about the Fees posted by cprocks, Can we take the dd for the amount mentioned in the notice

Immigrant Visa Application Fee Rs. 12740
Immigrant Visa Issuance Fee Rs. 3185

 or do we have to confirm again with the consulate. I understand that dollar varies with Rs daily, what is the cut-off point?
