Congratulations @Garry81 and many thanks for the sharing the details of interview experience !!

 

Congratulate @Sai Praneeth !! Looks like 02 Sep is the latest / farthest DQ date for someone in this group who has got their IL for. Wonderful progress since last month.

Can someone share their recent experience about bio metric, medical and interview?  Also did anyone get their interview letter by mail?  If you dont get by mail is the email print out sufficient?  Appreciate reply.   Thanks to everyone who has been sharing their feedback. Good Luck

What are the rules in India for domestic flights? If spouse wants to go with the applicant at interview and he/ she came from the US.  So, any issue to travel to Mumbai from Punjab? Or any self quarantine rules?

Thank you so much Sai for your quick reply. Yes my category is also CR1.

Hi there you mentioned  your DQ date was September 9. Have you gotten your interview letter yet? It seems there is only one September DQ, so I want to check if there are more or if this was just a one-off, since the majority so far in March have been June/July DQ. Thank you!

Yes, printed email works fine!!

 

For Biometrics, just go to your nearest or convenient VAC (create an acct. and take an appointment from http://cdn.ustraveldocs.com/in/in-loc-ofc.asp#locations )and they will take the fingerprints, verify your passports (valid + expired), verify DS-260 confirmation page, ALSO ask 2x2 photographs, Interview Letter (not mentioned in the checklist but they asked me). They don't keep anything. 

 

For Medical, call your convenient approved physician panel (check https://travel.state.gov/content/travel/en/us-visas/Supplements/Supplements_by_Post/BMB-Mumbai.html#physicians) and arrange an appointment with them for medical examination. At the time of scheduling an appointment, they will ask for Interview Letter, 2x2 photographs, U.S address, email ID, contact number, vaccination record (if any). You can also ask them about the charges/fees. 

 

Not Interviewed yet.

 

Hope it helps   Good Luck People!!

Yes. I just saw some articles and news about that. Can someone help with this information?

Maharashtra requires negative RT-PCR test results and they will seal on the left hand for quarantine as per the website.

[Mkamal 2]

1)  Can anyone confirm with me if their CEAC account shows the next message regarding the interview appointment after the first DQ message? I don't see it in my account. 

2)  How long does it take for the IL to be received in mail? 

 

Any response will be appreciated!!
