In addition,
1. There is a shed under which the line is formed. So if you get there before 5:30 am, you should be able to find room under it and dont have to worry about taking an umbrella in case of rain/snow.
2. There are portable toilets in the parking lot. I dont know how clean they were but it was good to know that they were there.
3. After youve gone through the security check ( like at the airport ), go to the first window on your right ( there maybe a queue for that window ). That is where you will be issued a number for your category.
One more thing, my passport expires next week & I was real concerned that the IIO would refuse to stamp it. Well, the IIO that worked with me said that she would stamp it for one year but the stamp would not be valid after the passport expiration. But when I asked her if I would be able to use the expired stamped passport in conjunction with the new passport ( when I get it ), she said that I could.
