My interview was on November 7, 2014, at 7:30 a.m. and I was asked to be at the Mumbai Consulate by 7:15 a.m. I reached the consulate by 7:10 a.m. and already two lines were formed outside. I knew from VJ that the shorter line was of IV applicants and I immediately joined the line. Applicants were asked to take out the passport and DS-260 confirmation page with stamp of OFC. At 7:15 a.m., the applicants were let inside. The officer checked my papers and asked if I had my OFC at Hyderabad. First enclosure was security check. Everyone was asked to take out watches, bags, coats and put through the X-ray machine. I just carried my documents in a clear plastic folder and nothing else. Here many people were delayed and I went past them. Outside, I was about the 16th applicant in line. Past the security check, I was about the 8th applicant. Next, we crossed a lawn and sat outside the building where interview was to take place. It was a heavy security area and we were let inside at 7:30 a.m. Applicants were sorted here in two lines. One was for single applicants and other line was for senior applicants with family members. Head member was asked to wait in the line and rest of the family was asked to be seated.
