By God\'s grace we have successfully completed CP Interview at Mumbai.
Enetered consulate at 10:30, asked to submit documents at 11:45 and done at 1:00. No local PCC. Very simple procedure. I think because of AC140 it took an hour extra time for me. Fees $335 per person (combined). If you have paid $265 in USA then you need only $65 per person.
Medicals at Lilavati, Visa section person did a good job, however we had to wait for Doctor Check-Up and Reports. Gave reports at 5:45 PM.
Stayed at Regencey Hotel in Santacruz.
One thing I noted on how to write names in DS230 Part I and II, if you have big names (with multiple words then except last name (sir name) all words goes to \'First Name\', you can not take one word as first name and rest middle names. So whatever the name you get on the greencard is (how it is on the passport, given name in the passport taken as first name. Same with your parents names also.
You write american address as local address in DS 230 Part I and II. They will ask you to change that to Indian address. Not a big deal. I also noted every one not asked to change.
No organisers, pagers, phones and women hand bags allowed just for information. Office files for documents allowed inside consualte, no need to carry them in papers.
I have valid H1 and H4 for my wife and took PCC from Indian consualte New York. So no complicated scenarios. I have had 2 H1s from Mumbai. So the interview is very simple, no questions asked. Not even pay slips. Bank statements. Mine is Ac140 case, I thought they would ask some documents, to my surprise they did not. I wonder they believe the attorney certified documents like that.
Any questions glad to answer. One suggestion you don\'t need to spend time and money on getting local PCC from India. I did not take.
