H1 approved @ Chennai consulate
First of all, I would like thank each one of you those posted their experiences in this forum. It helped me a lot for my preparation.

04-Dec-2013: Photo and Finger Prints taken @ OFC center Chennai

05-Dec-2013: My appointment @ 9:30 AM, reached consulate @ 8:45 AM and standing on Q for 40 mins

They allowed me into the main building after security check.

Received my token in main building and getting inside and standing on Q.

One of the attender asked me to go and stand on one counter. They have scaned my passport and take my left hand finger print. I believe it is for verification.

After that process attenders asked me to sit on the hall and watch the screen for my token number.

After 5 mins attenders asked me to move to the next waiting hall. I was watching the monitor for my token number and start praying.

Finally my token number appeared on the screen with counter number. I had moved to that counter.

Please suggest what steps to be taken if My Name appears incorrectly Appointment letter
My Name on the OFC and VISA appointment letter is missing the Surname though the DS-160 and Passports have the correct name.

Does that affect my VISA Appointment?

Please advise my course of action further......
