Sam - welcome and don't believe a word of what Karri tells you about me roughing you up and talking sense into you. ;) ..I am taking the Fifth on that. Jokes apart, good luck to you and Karri.

Moksha/Karri/Dilbert/gagan/harsh/others.... Good luck to all of you. Y'all (as southern as I can get even though I am based in NC) will be fine. I just know it.

snickers. Classicrock loves to pick on me lol. Actually it's "all y'all." Someone from Kentucky corrected me once ;)

So, you call him Snickers... huh...

And Hellooo....I said I was from the South (closer to the New South) not the Deep South. ;)

Sam, I'll have to explain to you sometime what taking the fifth means when we go over US history etc lol.

Sam... you better learn this fast. This comes in real handy...So like when you are here and out galavanting/bar hopping with your buds/your friends give you a bachelor's party, and Karri wants to know your whereabouts/is pestering you/puts you on the spot...... plead the 5th. Take refuge under the 5th amendment my friend...Over here you are innocent till you are proven guilty unlike in India where it is the other way around. You have the right to remain silent esp when you think if you open your mouth and it will only incriminate you... you don't wanna do that...

You get the idea.... Sorry Karri... I figured I could jump in and give him a more useful history lesson... lol

It is quite interesting how few people actually end up on Visa Journey. There are 52 K-1's for March in New Delhi. Even 3 other K-1's on our date 3/24 (oddly at the same exact time of day).

You get the draft and take it to the interview I think. The VFS fee is Rs. 365 I think different from the $131.

Gagan

And the VFS Courier fee is Rs. 394 and not Rs. 365 I guess.

Okay guys don't worry much abt VFS fee since it will always be less than Rs 500.

About the Visa fee u need to make a bank draft from HDFC bank ( need confirmation on Bank ).

The bank draft must be issued in the name of “The American Embassy, New Delhi”, and should be payable in Delhi.

http://newdelhi.usembassy.gov/ivk1packet4.html

and check latest fee here.

http://newdelhi.usembassy.gov/consdec192008.html

Btw the new visa fee is Rs. 7,205 (equivalent to USD $131).

You need to submit that draft at your interview. They will ask for it then. =)

I hope this helps.
