H1B & H4 VISA interview at Chennai
Interview date - July 10th 2019
Consulate - Chennai
VAC - July 09th 2019 at 08:30
Arrived at the VAC center by 08:00 AM. We had a backpack and there is a place to store that for a cost. Mobile phones are allowed inside with switch off mode. But we placed mobile phones in the backpack. I went with family and two kids (8 & 2). My elder son (8 years) old went by himself for bio metrics. They took him a photo (we did carry passport photos, but they didn't take those)
As we had 2 years old baby, we were allowed to the counter right away and came out quickly in 30ms by 08:45 AM.
Consulate - July 10th 2019 09:45
We reached consulate by 09:10 and there were two lines for 09:15 and 09:30. We jumped into 09:15 line as my son had to go for washroom. Security initially didn't allow, but later allowed with a request as it's hard to locate wash room there outside.
This time, we didn't carry backpack, but my wife carried hand bag with water and some biscuits for the kid. We deposited mobile phones and smart watches (fitbit & apple watch) at the security counter after the que.
We went inside the and immediately sent to interview counter as we had 2 years old baby.
