Photo tips:
Immigration VISA shots are side angled shots as mentioned in P IV.
For medicals straight shots.
white background for visa shots. Take extra shots 8 copies good.
wear white so that when U sign at the bottom it shows.
I saw people being allowed water bottles inside consulate when I went so take water.
If U are going by car, parking is a problem. There is a Hotel called Woodlands drive-in with huge parking space so just park there and walk accross.
Inside consulate pepsi cofee and vada available.
The first 10 people can be accomodated in the ac room and the rest will be in shamiana. Arriving @ 7:30 we were the fist. Ofcourse after paying the app fee and submitting doc U will be asked to go and wait out in shamiana.
Weather is very pleasant now in chennai.
Good luck
