Reply from Mumbai Consulate?

Little Annoyed
I've had the same experience with Mumbai lately. My case was forwarded to the consulate on 27 Feb 03 and after about 10 days dropped an email. I didn't hear back from them for couple of days and then tried calling them. After quite a few attempts was able to talk to them, they confirmed that their office have received my case. However, didn't tell me the likely interview date. The lady at the consulate told me to drop an email/fax asking the same to Chief Consular Officer. I did both (email and fax) but so far no luck.
There's no reply from the consulate to any of my email/fax, in the last couple of weeks.
Anybody experiencing the same problem @ Mumbai please chime in ...

hi vB, I sent them an email on the 15th (asking about my case that was sent by the NVC on the 6th March). No reply yet!
A better thing to do is to call up the consulate.. THere are two seperate numbers for the IVs (+NIVs). The guy out there will tell you the case status. He was pretty polite too! Bummer that my case hadn't reached them yet (i called 3/19). Am a wee bit worried (cos typically at cptracker.com the cases seem to reach in <1-2 weeks!).

cpDelhi,
Many a times the consulate does not reply to your emails, they generally wait for security clearance. The consulates have not been consistent in their approach, but this was experienced by myself too. We sent about 3-4 emails, but we did not get any replies, finally we decied to call them...that works..only if you can get through the lines.
All the best. Take it easy.....everything will be fine.
Thanks.

GOT reply from mumbaiIV
hello all,
i did finally get a reply from mumbaiIV, and my interview date is the 17th of April!! I am on EB1, and i am not too sure if thats why i got an interview so early (NVC sent march 6th to consulate). Anyways, I posted a new thread titled "Interview (from NVC-sent) in 6 weeks!". lets see how things go from here. first thing though, i have to make sure that there is no mistake (i.e. May17th instead of April 17th)!

Pleasent surprises are welcome, (within reason, I am sure),
appointments are taken over phone for the three hospitals designated by mumbai consulate. Hinduja, Breach Candy and Lilavati are the three. Phone numbers and additional info can be obtained from:
http://usembassy.state.gov/posts/in3/wwwhimmi.html#medical
I would suggest calling them as soon as you can. There will be plenty of slots available for appointment in all three hospitals.
I have scheduled an appointment with hinduja.
I have seen good review for all three on this forum. http://www.immihelp.com/gc/consular/medical
has some info as well, it may not have been updated lately, though.
Have you prepared a list of documents needed for the interview? if not on of the other threads by cpDelhi http://boards.immigrationportal.com/showthread.php?s=&threadid=66672&perpage=15&pagenumber=6
has a good list. This list may be a little different form the mumbai requirements (like 3 photographs for mumbai instead of 2 for delhi).
When are you planning to leave, I guess you are in the process of getting tickets now.
Good luck,
KYCP
