Hello Vsats,
someone will correct me if iam wrong. Here are my answers.
Q-1. Do i need to pay visa fee or any other fee @ US consulate in chennai.
<localMadras> No need to pay the fees coz u paid $335. the only fees you should pay is the blue-dart courier fees. per family is 250 Rupees. Additionaly per person you should pay Rs.50 for courier-insurance. That means, if you are family of two you pay 250 + (50 * 2) = 350 ..... as a demand draft in favour of BLUE DART EXPRESS LIMITED payable at chennai...
(Note: The instruction set in the packet-4 has all this information... and you have plenty of time to read through this).
Q-2. Do i need to take appointment for the Lister lab or is it just walk in!!
<localMadras> no appt for Lister Lab. just walk in. If you go betw 7:45 - 10.00am , you will get the report the same day around 4:00pm , otherwise it's the next-day.
Q-3. Do we need to have the original interview letter from consulate for taking lab test, Dr. Appointment. I have the scanned appointment letter..since i requested the P4 to be sent to local address in bangalore.
<ravipk> No need to have original interview letter. You can take a copy, printout of the scanned letter, or email printout from US consulate, chennai.
Q-4. I have Dr. V appointment on 18th Nov @5:15 P.M. and i am planning to leave to bangalore on the same day..just wanted to know how long it will take to complete the exams and possible MMR shots. Also, is it possible to prepone the appointment , if i get the lister lab report earlier on the same day.
<ravipk> From past experiences, you should allot yourself about an 1hr for Medical checkup with Dr. V.
You can take 2 appointments with Dr. V, just call them again, and take another appointment, also let them know your situation, and they seem to have a sympathatic ear.
Q-5. Is PCC from Indian Consulate SFO is fine or do we need to get local PCC.
<localMadras> NO NEED FOR LOCAL-PCC got it confirmed from chennai-consulate.
