I was a regular viewer of this forums but never posted anything, just kept accumlating information, now i am through with my visa process and very soon will be going to US. I would like to share my experiences at mumbai consulate, I have seen many people coming to forum when they have problems and then never bother to give a feedback and there are many anxious users like me who are awating to read the experiences.
I am sunil from ahmedabad, I received my docs and soon went to vfs and scheduled my interview on 2nd sept, with my wife on H4, I am first time applicant. We went to the consulate and awaited for the call, I took all the things with me inccluding our marriage album and marriage certificate, but unfortunately we didnt have names endorsed, I could have done it but the problem with Ahmedabad passport office is that they dont endorse names but you have to apply fresh and renew the passport, so you have to go through the whole new passport process, so thought to take a chance, and i received 221g saying endorse names. they asked me few questions like when were we married, how i got the job and some others. I returned to ahmedabad and then applied for fresh passport for both of us under tatkal, I received new passport in a week and then went back to mumbai on 15th. again awating for the interview, This time was lucky enough to get the visa without much hassles and the lady visa officer was very kind and humble.
I returned back and the very next day received passport stamped with visas on both our passports.
So these is all for those who are intrested to know whats happening in mumbai consulate, so be sure to endorse the names before you leave for the visa. Best of luck for all those who ar trying.
