B1/B2 interview experience @ Anna Salai, Chennai -- 2nd week of Dec 2012
Things I carried to Consulate:
Passport (took my old passport also), DS 160 conf, Fee receipt, docs -- all in a transparent file.
Normal file is allowed though, better to take a transparent file.
Hotel key, currencies -- didn't take wallet, mobile.
Interview was at 8.00 am, reached there @ 7.45 am as i knew the place well and
the hotel where i stayed was near by - walking distance to the Consulate.
15 mins prior to interview schedule is good enough if your are staying near by and know the place well.
@US Consulate:
--------------
Outside queue and security check - 20 mins.
Inside first hall - passport check and finger print - 30 mins
Interview hall - waited for 15 mins.
In the interview hall, i was able to hear the questions as one of the VO was speaking loudly.
When my token was displayed, went to the counter.
VO was a woman.
Before me, there was h1/h4 interview - it was approved.
Next mine, gave the passport to VO
