L1, L2 Visa

I had visa interview on 02-June 2010 at Chennai Consulate. The appointment was at 09:45AM. I, along with my wife and kid (1.5 yrs old), went by cab and reached the Chennai Consulate at about 09:20AM and we were asked to go straight inside as we have kid. We carried only 2 plastic bags containing all relevant folders - one bag for me (principal applicant) and another for my wife and kid (marriage certificate, birth certificate etc).
