April Interviews

[sowmyak 0]

Dear All,

I've received a call for the K1 interview at the Chennai Embassy on April 27th 9.00 am. I'm not sure if all my paper work will be in order by then, But encouraged by what I read here, I'm going to either submit only the ones that are ready before 10 working days and take the rest to the interview or submit it all together a lil' later at VFS. Any idea on which is a better approach?

And if there are any more April interviews lined up for VJers, do pour in.

If your docs are not ready to submit it to VFS then you dont have to stress over it. We did not submit anything to the VFS except paying the money for courier charges. We paid the courier charges two days before the interview and got our medical done 3 days before the interview. We submitted everything in person at the Chennai consulate and they did not say anything. In my opinion you should try to submit if you can but if there is something that prevents you from not submitting at VFS dont stress too much about that.

You got plenty of time to gather documents and gets things done 10 days before your interview. Don't worry you will be all fine. Did the petitioner already finished gathering all the necessary documents? Good luck for you interview.

Our papers are on the way to embassy, so we are hoping to get a date in early May.

I would also recommend getting in whatever documents you have ready to VFS 10 days before the interview as suggested by the Consulate. We gave practically everything to VFS, including the medical, and got approved immediately.

Thank you very much. That does take a lot of stress off me. I'm going to get it done as soon as possible.

Congrats! The catch is that it is 10 working days and not 10 days. My passport is still in the passport office. I'm supposed to receive it in a week, but you can never be too sure. I'm hoping things go smoothly.

From a very small data sample ( being my own case) Chennai is probably giving out interview dates one month from the P4 dispatch date. So you should receive soon.

Good luck and keep us posted.
