L1, L2 Visa

First of all I want to extend my sincerest greetings to all the forum contributors, it was such a great help..I am hoping my experience would help someone -

OFC Appointment and Formalities -
1. Try to reach max. 15 minutes before your scheduled appointment, there is no waiting area except the road and since Chennai is hot and humid you may not want to wait for hours in the open.
2. The OFC office is in a very busy area, you may face rush so timing is key so incase you reach early or you want to avoid being late, you can spend some time in nearby restaurants.food joints etc which are on a parallel street walking distance from office, ask for the college near by and then hang in around there.
3. The OFC now takes your pictures for printing on visa, so hard copy of pictures are no longer required - You may want to still keep them just incase.
4. No bags are allowed, keep the minimum no. of documents in a clear polythene bag or folder- Mobile phones and wallets are ok.
5. Incase you are going with a kid or toddler who is camera shy, take a few pictures as you would do for your visa, this may save you a lot of hassle at OFC incase the child is not in a good mood to pose.
6. Rest of OFC process is smooth -
6.1 You enter in, Security check.
6.2 Your passports are stuck with a sticker that has your DS-160 confirmation No.
6.3 You are given a token.
6.4 Token is summoned to a station.
6.5 Your identity is established though basic questions (Name, DOB etc.)
6.6 Pictures and Fingerprints are taken for applicants above 14 yrs of age
6.7 DS-160 Confirmation page is stamped and then you are dismissed.
7. Some other tips -
7.1 Avoid any cuts or chips to your fingers, no henna etc. as it will create problems during fingerprinting..
7.2 If you wish to look like a dude or dudette on your visa groom yourself in the restroom near the elevator. :)
7.3 If you are appearing for a group interview, print individual appointment confirmation letters this will save you a ton of hassle.
