Business Visa - B1

My interview was scheduled at 07:45 at the US embassy, Chennai Consulate. Didnt have a clue about chennai. Hence reached the place at about 6 am. had to wait it out till 7 am. Then the security officer called out for 07:30 slot and then 07:45 slot. I moved it to that particular slot line. They issued me a token, then had me checked, then arranging of documents by personnel, then fingerprinting and then the interview.
