L1, L2 Visa

Hi All,

First of all, this is the best site to seek any help around any type of Visa questions.

My Experience!!

Interview Date - 3rd Nov 2014, Biometrics completed in Delhi itself

I cam e to chennai a day before to get settled and took a hotel near to Consulate (Around 4 Km away). Weather was not good and it rained all day due to which i got sick just before the day of interview. Nevermind!!

D-Day - My interview was at 8 am and i have left the hotel around 7: 20 am and reached the venue around 7: 40. Not to my surprise around 100 folks were in front of me. Me and my wife standing outside in the rain under the umbrella and waited for around an hour. We finally got in to the building and then all checks happened. In the haste i lost my MRV slip and got terrified. Dont worry it's not required anymore as they only need the DD.

Here is the surprising stuff. In front of the consulate.

Me. Good morning sir, how are you
Consulate. I am fine, Can i have your documents?
Me. Sure, provided passports & other docs (Me and my wife)

Consulate. (In a very low voice) Who is your client?
Me. I am sorry sir, ( Just to ensure i heard the right question), then he repeated
Me. My client is ZZZ

Consulate - Your Visa is Approved
Me - Surprised like anything:)

Tips:
1. Dont reach the venue early, only 15-20 min before the time. No point standing for endless hours in such bad weather
2. Look in the eye, I was looking at the consulate even he was taking the interview of the candidate in front of me
3. Have Faith in yourself and always belive that you will get the VISA
4. Pray to God

Thanks,
M
