I would like to thank this forum for helping me prepare for the CP interview. The interview as such was really a piece of cake. I would strongly recommend everyone to take extra copies of all the required papers as. Also i had taken the immigration style photos from My Own Studio near the consulate and i think that was a good decision as a lot of applicants who had not taken it from there had to re take the photos inside. The charge a ridiculous amount in there for photos and xeroxing.
Also I did my medical examination at Lilavati and I would recommend it if you have not scheduled one. Professional and courteous staff. I guess it comes as a part and parcel of running a private hospital.
One more thing when it comes to collection of passports and IV papers. They asked us to come at 3:00 but did not open the counter until 4:30. Bombay has been under a torrid spell for the past one week and the mercury has been hitting 40\'s at times. I have never seen this in all the time i lived here and standing outside the consulate even for 15 minutes in such conditions would be health detriment. And this is not one isolated incident.In the past week they never opened the counter on time.
The consular interview was a short 1 minute exercise.
Also in the DS230 they asked everyone to change the address in section 13 to the one in India.
I think EB based IV\'s were not rejected for any of us.
