While going through the Mumbai consulate just found that though the consulate office is moving to new BKC address but there will be no change in VFS location and there will be no bus service from VFS to consulate like before.Here is what they say...

http://www.vfs-usa.co.in/USIndia/pdf/VFSMoveMessagetoApplicants_2.pdf

#Is VFS also relocating to the Bandra Kurla Complex?

At this time, VFS does not have plans to relocate. VFS will continue to operate its facility in Breach Candy, an area in south Mumbai.

#Will VFS provide bus service and lounge facilities?

At this time, VFS does not plan to provide transportation and lounge facilities for applicants to the Consulate’s

new facility in Bandra Kurla Complex. The nearest train stations are Bandra East and Kurla West.

Sorry for getting out of topic but i have a confusion disturbing from last few day,I would like to clear it with my friends.

Out of many documents...one of them which is important and most of us don't have initially is the Birth Certificate . Generally in India when we need this document and approach the authority they issue the certificate but if you notice the document, there are two dates.

1. Birth Registration date.

2. Certificate Issue date.

In our case these dates are mostly same. As per USA govt law these documents are not totally valid as birth registration date is not within the same year as the date of birth of the candidate. So for example if some one is born on Oct 11th 1965, the birth registration date should not be later than Oct 10th 1966

If they check the document they ask for additional supporting documents...and may ask to come for interview again at later point of time.

It happened with one of my relative....have you ever heard of it and what should I do in such situation???
