photographs

for the medical exam and doctor you can take regular passport snaps. for the consulate interview you will need immigration style photos which they do a better job at the konica shop in madras
 
hi all - questions abt planning

for those having interviews around 25th - what are your thoughts about the sept 11 thing? will there be extra measures of security around that then? is it wiser to fly out before sept 11, or take a risk about flight schedules in the days immediately afterwards?

Rekhak, Mathodram, and any others having a 25th interview : how are you planning to get the medicals done? 23rd Lister? 23rd itself medicals, and 24th rest? or 24th medicals? what about the 2 working days thing from the medical form? Also, what about the possible fever after MMR? anyone planning to stay the weekend in chennai?

wrong form for sailing permit, we need 1040C if you are actually getting a salary, the form you have up there is for people who have no income
 
rekhak

sept 21'st from US? I have to go early to India because of soem family functions, so I will elave much earlier. I am from kerala, so I will be comign to madras close to the interview. Have you booked the hotel? did you call or fax or have someone book it for you?
 
oops! thanks Rekhak

I guess I was not looking at the details. I shall update it by tomorrow.


here's the website link from IRS

hi manish

is september 21st cutting it too close? as long as my chest xray comes out fine I think I should be OK. I am going to call new woodlands and have them book the room. I have stayed there before and they are very reliable with bookings, plus wifey is veggie which makes woodlands easier for food.
 
thanks sanjna one more question

If i go to chennai on friday is it enough time for me take medicals and lab. can we go to lab after 9:00 am.
thanks

if you go to lister after 10:30 am , you will not get the reports back on the same day. I would suggest you go there as early as possible in the day, so you can get the reports same day and get the medical exam after that on the same day. I think most of the doctors work on saturday, so you could get medical exam on saturday also.
 
thanks sanjna

If we are travelling through london(my h1 expired in passport), transit visa required or not.
thanks

Interview on 18 September!

Lister's web site says they are open till 630pm. But except for Dr. Mathai you cannot go to any other doctor after 430pm according to the coverletter from chennai web site. Is this information correct?. If one goes there after 1030am, can the report be collected next morning from lister?.
