H1B VISA Stamping Experience at US Consulate, Mumbai
I attended the VISA Interview at U.S. Consulate, Mumbai today (2nd Novemeber 2015). My VISA Interview was scheduled at 9:00AM.
I reached the place 1 hour before the interview time. I saw a long queue outside the consulate. I also joined the queue silently without asking anyone. The queue was not moving at all but after 5-10 mins the queue suddenly moved ahead very fast. I saw few ladies coming near the queue and asked us to keep our passports outside. Those ladies scanned our pasports with a small maching (similar to a pager) and signalled to get inside.
I reached the place where there were some seating arrangements. All the people were waiting for the door to open. After few minutes, the door opened and people began to enter the room. People were instructed to put their belonging (Wrist watch, documents, wallet etc.) in a plastic container for security check. After the security check I again entered a place where people were waiting for their turn to enter the main interview premise. One guy was carrying the US Rights pamphlet and distributing to the H1B candidates. We all sat and waited for our turn. We then moved inside the main Interview hall. After entering the premise, We joined a queue where 2 counters were scanning the passports. One by one we reached that counter where we were asked to put right hand four fingers on the scannig machine. After the finger scanning, we were handed our passports back and asked to join another queue which was for the main VISA Interview.
While in the queue you can see almost all the counters where people will be interviewed.
After some time I reached the end of the queue where one lady was instructing us to move to certain counter no. I was asked to move to Counter no. 30 where one young lady officer was taking VISA Interview of a guy. I waited for the interview to get over. The guy left and VISA Officer called me for the interview.
