It looks like we have to pay Rs 1980 ( $45) per applicant surcharge fee for people going for immigrant visa like consular processing.

This was written in appointment letter I recieved from chennai embassy.

Hi Raj,

I 've come to know through this forum there is security fee of $45.
Can you please let me know whether Rs 1980 is mentioned in the appt. letter or one has to take $45 exchange rate DD. Also, in whose favor should one take the DD.

Thanks in advance,

I've found answers to the above.
Consulate website mentions exchgange rate as 1$=Rs 44. So, Rs 1980 for $45 makes sense.The DD should be drawn in favor of "American Consulate General, Chennai".

surcharge for CP

Dear Ram.
You are right. If you take DD from any nationalized indian bank which has branch in chennai than make it for Rs 1980. If you are taking from a foreign bank which has a branch in chennai than you can take DD for $ 45. You should make DD payable to " American Consulate general, Chennai"
