Packet 4

I have a K1 fiance interview scheduled for March 10 in the Mumbai. Before I go for the interview to the counsulate:

1. Do I need to submit the documents by courier or drop them off at the VFS office?

2. Or can I submit the documents on the day of the interview?

3. Can I pay the courier fees at the VFS office without submitting my documents?

4. Will photocopies of the documents be enough?

The courier fees (Rs. 365) should be paid to VFS prior to interview. That is a must. Yes, VFS will accept just the courier fees without you submitting the docs but you are strongly advised to submit everything together.

You will need to drop off your documents at VFS in person anywhere between 10 and 7 business days before the interview. So if you haven't done so already, rush there today and submit it. It is not a good idea to wait for the day of the interview, since VFS helps you sort your documents and make sure they are in order. They would also advise you if anything is missing.

Photocopies are good enough as long as you have the originals for verification.
