Ok this is the best so far.... This time I got some ND members too.... If you know any of these members who have their visas in hand please update the list.... This sure was a good idea for better tracking of Mumbai and New delhi immigrant visa process.

Do you think adding Visa Pickup location Help?

I thought of it too.... the dates actually make sense only if we know which state it was sent or if it was direct consulate vfs pick up...But it is little hard to keep up with all members and getting to know their pick up location. i have asked new visa approved members to update me, hopefully they will also mention if it was consulate direct pick up or state specific vfs pick up via blue dart mail.

There is no Consulate pickup any more. You have to select pickup location prior to interview.

Oh I'm sorry Guptaji, I have no clue. I saw MandyBear mention about Trident hotel in her consulate interview review. I am sure you have been browsing but this is a link I found in the ***removed*** website www.***removed***/india/hotels-near-us-consulate-mumbai.html maybe you've already seen it but otherwise no personal advise. My hubby is going to stay with his relatives 1hr away from consulate and he is cool with that.

:rofl: Good one Guptaji. Totally said it right, the way Indians live now makes me so jealous while working my ..... off 8+ hours, just to get my bills paid and get every month going...

I will ask my hubby as he's been in Mumbai for a long time before and also his relatives residing there to suggest if you have a better option. will get back to you by tomorrow.

Did NVC get back to you with your petition and also did the Visa pick up registration issue get fixed?

We just got this email for case completed ?? I thought only countries with e-filing got case completion emails.Whats weird is that our case has been completed since 15th of Oct 2012.

But we received this email today. Can it mean that they might be getting ready to assign us a Interview date ?
