do we have to submit the originals of I-797 (NOA2) for the K3 visa interview at chennai..My spouse has the copies of both I 130 and I 129F approvals...

Is the demand draft $131 (Rs 42) same for the K3 visa???

does anyone know if Chennai sends the visa using Courier or gives the visa on the same day of interview???how long usually it takes to receive after the interview if they use courier?????

Thanks and good luck with the interviews...

Hi K3visa,

Check the link below for the current fees, and depending upon when your interview falls, check the web-site to make sure you have the exact correct amount. (The rupee rate changes at random depending upon the exchange rate at the time of the interview, so don't get a demand draft done until fairly close to the interview date.

The VFS courier system is used for passport delivery and it takes 2-5 days to get back to your address of choice. (They do NOT hand it back to you in the Consulate.)

The Chennai website is a wealth of information for their process, as is the VFS website. :) Good luck!
