Got B1 VISA approved on 11th April 2014 - Mumbai Consulate
First of all thanks to this site and the people who helped me with there experiences.
This process was for 2 days.
First day my interview was at OFC center by 2.30 pm. I went there by 2.00 pm. First got my name in Passport and DS160 Form verified. Then they stick a sticker on back side of passport, and i was given a token. Within 2 mins my token was displayed on screen. I went at counter. The OFC person at the counter took my passport, asked me my name and DOB. Then took my finger prints of both hands and then my photo. I was done with this all process in just 5-10 mins. Quiet Fast :)
Second day my interview was at 10.00 am. I went there by 9.00 am. Within 5 mins they asked to join in queue. Then there was a strict security check. Then by 9.20 i was in the area where actual interview was taken. Here also there about 20+ windows which take interview parallely. It looked like tourist VISA windows were different and Business/Study windows were different. Then i went at the window and then interview started
VO lady : Good Morning and Passport Please
Me : Good Morning Mam and then handed my passport.
VO lady: Why are you going ?
Me: XX reasons.
VO lady: For how long you would be in US ? (In short duration of stay in US)
Me: xx weeks
VO lady: She smiled and said Your VISA is approved :) and said have a nice day.
Me: I thanked here and also wished here the same :)
Within 40-50 secs interview done and got it approved. I think fastest interview :)
SOME NOTES - Be at consulate much before desired time. You may get a chance to get in early and finish early. I have seen at OFC people were late but still they were entertained. If you are not from Mumbai I will advise to come in way early if incase the taxi/rickshaw driver doesn't know exactly where it is. Don't panic looking at others who haven't got VISA. Stay calm, be confident and not over confident, don't mug up the answers, be yourself and give your best.
Best of luck !!!
