Trust you are done with all your preparations and are ready. My journey starts this Friday to parents place (houston) and Saturday to Chennai reaching on Monday morning. A bit anxious, excited and all ready.

I so wish I could go to India to be there with Kinnari. I wish you all the best Sunny and hope everything goes well. God Bless you! :)

Our interview preparation get a halt now. Just heard this morning that my wife's grandfather died so she went to her grandfather's place and hopefully she will overcome from this sad news in the next couple of days. It seems that she will be back only on Thursday and that still gives us 3 days of time to prepare/sort the documents/interview questions e.t.c

Thank you Navyk/Dave for your support. I did speak with my wife and told her that life has to move on even though she has so much affection towards her grandfather. We are glad that with Visa Journeyhelp, we successfully made it to the interview. My self and my wife are so thankful with everyone on this board.

Once again thank you for your peace and consolace and I wish you all the best for your interviews and others on the board as well.

Navyk,

Yes, you are right. The latest update is more trains are running starting from 10/18 and I would expect not to encounter further Rail Rokos in the next few weeks, however I still advise everyone to plan accordingly. So that way it won't interrupt everyone's plans.

By the way, other than Courier fee, do we need to pay anything like visa fee e.t.c at Consulate? As far as I know we already paid our visa fee at NVC.
