Anyone heard of the name check Mumbai has been doing lately? Can we get some documents so that the check is not required? Any criteria to select candidates for name check?
 
Essentially a process to determine that you are who you say you are (the name you say is yours is actually yours). They did some of that on March/April, I think, but hadnt heard of any cases recently. It is usually not a problem if you have a week or maybe a bit more) after the interview - except for the hassle of going back to collect your papers a week after your interview. But, a huge headache if you fly back to US within a few days of the interview.
 
Response from my lawyer...

This is what I got back from my lawyer...

"Name check is done if your name is in the list of terrorists/most wanted that govt has."

They might do some kind of phonetic match to get similar sounding names. If this is true, it'll all depend on luck... I have very little time after interview (flying back Monday night after Fri interview). I hope it goes well :).
