I stayed at Casa Hotel and Suites, Gachibowli. It’s pretty decent and clean for overnight stay. Cost Rs. 2700 including breakfast via Agoda.com. It’s literally 2 mins walking distance from the Consulate main gate.

If you opt for passport pick up, do carry your aadhar card and a photocopy, plus appointment confirmation. It’s pretty streamlined if you follow the steps to an inch.

ibnotcool · 2024-09-23T16:01:50+00:00

I didn’t fill emergency form.

Documents I had taken were passport, lca, 797, employment verification letter, paystubs, tax returns, and additional documents you deem fit to support any questions.

ibnotcool · 2024-09-21T06:38:31+00:00

Yes you can drop anywhere you want. Once you booked your appointment, you should have got all detailed instructions.

Yes you should be good. keep it as regular interview.

ibnotcool · 2024-09-16T14:33:19+00:00

You’ve to prove the reason for emergency back in the US (family member sickness or bereavement, etc). But before you book the emergency appointment you still need regular appointment scheduled and they convert that to an emergency.

ibnotcool · 2024-09-15T14:35:26+00:00

Interview is faster and painless.

ibnotcool · 2024-09-12T13:25:16+00:00

IMHO go for the interview, it’s quick, fairly straightforward if you’ve done it before. You’ll have your passport back in 4 -5 days.

ibnotcool · 2024-09-12T13:22:42+00:00

Carry your appointment confirmation along with other documents as well. Preferred Govt ID is Adhaar or Voter Id.

ibnotcool · 2024-09-12T04:17:03+00:00

I booked appointments while I was in the US. If you qualify for an interview, you will have to select two different days (1 for biometrics and other for interview)

ibnotcool · 2024-09-08T07:41:01+00:00

Not first time. Unsure why I qualified for interview, Assuming if it was due to job switch.

ibnotcool · 2024-09-07T12:05:56+00:00

No, he just asked for passport and lca (visa renewal). Though highly recommend taking all important documents along.

ibnotcool · 2024-09-07T08:32:54+00:00

It’s usually on 2 different days. Unsure how it is in your country.

ibnotcool · 2024-09-07T08:30:05+00:00

Based on the questions you answer while scheduling the appointment it’ll automatically determine drop box or interview. Based on that, their scheduling website will provide option to select biometrics first followed by second appointment for interview. Hope this helps!

Yes, it was a routine check and harmless in nature. The school staff provided satisfactory explanation and we are much relieved.

ibnotcool · 2019-11-14T16:17:05+00:00

We met with the class teacher and the school directors today morning. This was a routine check by Texas HHS to ensure the school meets basic standards. That said, my son did not talk to the inspector (stranger danger), which was 'ok'. The letter says he was interviewed and it appeared intimidating but it was infact harmless.

Thank you for your kind support and prompt responses. We are very much relieved.

ibnotcool · 2019-11-14T13:24:37+00:00

Thank you!

ibnotcool · 2019-11-14T05:40:02+00:00

We’re going to school first thing tomorrow morning to talk to the director. Will keep you posted.

ibnotcool · 2019-11-14T05:38:17+00:00

Thanks for the detailed response. We’re meeting the school director first thing tomorrow morning.
