Succesful Interview @ Chennai
I had a succesful Interview at Chennai Consulate on 05/11/2007 and Yesterday i recieved my passport Stamped.
I will brief my Experience and hope this helps others also.
We ( Me, Wife and my one year old Son) reached chennai on sunday (04/11/2007) around 3.00 PM. I Had already booked a room at DreamZ park Hotel, which is around 400 meters from the consulate. The hotel is not a great one, but decent enough for a days stay. ( We can Book the Hotel by calling 04424313994, A/c Standard Room 1200 ). The hotel have a restaurant also on top Floor. The consulate is Near the anna flyover in anna salai. Evening we went for a walk to see the place. The security personnal near the building suggested Us to come an hour early before the interview. We came back to hotel, ordered food, watched some TV and slept. There are very few eatiries around the consulate.
Morning we took an auto to the consulate and reached the consulate by 9.10. There was a queue of around 20 people standing outside the consulate. Since we had the baby with us the security officers asked us to stand in front. They will check the appointment letter and passport at the enterance, So keep them in hand. The door opened and we were let in. Immeditely on entering the consulate there is a security check with metal detectors and they will ask us to open all the packets. No electronic items are allowed inside. So dont carry mobile phones or pen drives.
After the security check we were asked to stand in a queue which was the smallest one there. If we have a kid with us we will get the best treatment in Consulate. There were only 2 members in queue and all of them were for H4 and had kids with them. In this counter we have to give the D156, D157, i179, 129 and the Passports. This is VFS counter and they will verify all the documents and arrange them in order. If we have any queries or corrections required we can tell them. All the documents will be placed in a blue folder and will be returned to us. Dont forget to write your name in mother tounge and sign the D156 before you handover.
Then we have to go to another building nearby, where our finger Print is taken and the interview is conducted. There were more than 50 people in queue waiting to enter the building. We were asked to enter the building through another door. A security personnal came and took us directly to finger printing counter. There we have to show our Left and Right Index fingers. Make sure that Its clean and dont have a cut there. There were a lot of people waiting in queue for Finger printing and interview. Immedietly After the Finger printing the security person took us to a counter where interview was taking place. It was all sudden and before i could mentally prepare i was infront of the Officer. In the next counter another guy was explaining his project and the Officer was shooting questions. One important thing is, never hurry on your answer, dont tell anything which we can't substantiate and Most important BE CONFIDENT. The guy infront of me got his Visa approved and that redused my nervousness. My son was making Noice and we are infront of officer.
ME: Good Morning Sir, How are you.
Officer: AM fine Thanks, How Are You.
Me: I Am doing good. Thanks.
Officer: Please give me Your Degree Certificates. ( I read in some forum that if they ask your Degree cerificates First, you are almost through. This made me More confident.)
I took the certificates from the File and passed it on to him. Along with My MCA cerificates i passed my GNIIT and MCSD cerificates to him. He went through all the certificaes carefully and asked me to pass my sons birth certificate. I took it from the folder and passed it on to him.
VERY VERY Important thing is to have a folder properly arranged and Indexed so that you dont need to fumble infront of the Office. More over It gives an impression also.
He took the Birth certificate and verified it with the passport.
He took another 1-2 minutes checking in the system.
And there came the golden Words: Your Visa is approved. You will get the passport through courier in 3 days time.
I thanked Him and left the cubicle.
Nothing Else asked and we Got the Visa.
All process was over in 15-20 Minutes. Its a great advantage if there is baby also coming for the interview.
Hope this helps all the people going for interview.
I will brief my Experience and hope this helps others also.
