My experience at the consulate was ok!! Nothing to do with the interview part but I was little frustrated at the way things have been handled by the VFS till you get a ticket for an interview.
Its a huge chaos from the very beginning. Even though I was the 3rd person to be there at the consulate ( 5:45 AM ) for a 7:30 interview . I was the last person to come out.
I found the VFS staff being too amused by the the radio they carry rather than the service they provide.
Here are few things I thing friends here should take a note :
* There is a lounge facility available at 5 mins away from the consulate that, I think is very helpful especially if you want to tuck away those extra bags you have/mobile phones.
Its called the " The Stars & Stripes Lounge " .
* They charge Rs. 400 for Lounge + Snacks + locker facility + internet ( only restricted for emails & corrections to your application )
* Rs 200 for locker facility
Once you enter please make sure you get to the right line for your ticket . Mine being an immigrant visa, some of the immigrant visa applicants where ushered into a different line, but one of my VFS friend asked me to stay put in the current line which gave me a ticket that held me up for 4 hrs.
