Business Visa - B1

Visa is scheduled for 3rd & 4th Oct'2013 at Mumbai Consulate
The place is new to me, so I started by journey to BKC around 1.30 & have reached around 3.00 PM (one hour early) to the OFC centre...

3rd Oct Experience...

The OFC execute asked to keep my Mobile in the nearby locker managed by 3rd Party. They have charged Rs. 200 so better not to carry Mobile or any other electronic items...

They only checked Passport, Appointment letter & DS160 confirmation letter, if there is any mistake in Name-Surname & DOB, they ask for modification, for this also that 3rd Party would charged Rs. 200...

I entered to the Office around 3.15... and its takes only 10 minutes for all the process...

Learning form the day: Not to carry Mobile, electronic items & any luggage...

4th Oct'2013..

I joined the queue around 9.30 and after following the all the instructions, I reached to the counter for my Visa Interview.

My personal advice to all...

4. Look at officer eyes (very important)

I must say that all the executives & officers are very kind & soft spoken at USA embassy...
