Mumbai Consulate Interview - IR1/CR1

[darth vader 133]

Also, I heard somewhere that Jan onwards the U.S. consulates in several countries will be operating at full staff/capacity. I wonder if that has something to do with this increased speed? I also wonder if Indian government has made vaccine available to U.S. embassy/consulate employees resulting in this full staffing scenario. In any case, whatever has caused this I pray to god it continues, if they do the same volume of interview for next two or three months we will back to normal interview wait times!!!!

Anyone who has recently received packet 4 can you please confirm how long the police certificate is valid for? One year of six months?

CEAC website says that

That is strange. thank you @MANI21 for sharing 

My CEAC account shows only one message that I received at the time the application was DQ'ed. I did not receive any message regarding Interview scheduled but via email only.

Is anyone else here able to confirm with if they have not received a message for interview scheduled in CEAC account ??  (Note: this question only relates to experienced OR those who already has received Interview Letter via email/mail). Please!!

"Bro" - I had a very specific question - I want to see what range of DQ dates were given interview dates in March. I know the latest date was Sep 2, however, I do not know the earliest DQ date. Hence, the reason I phrased the question the way I did is because others can get a gist of "why" I am asking that question. Doesn't help that the "telegram" links that are shared stop working immediately. Why such secrecy? why not host the sheet on a more stable/public website?

yes the telegram ####### is something else that needs to be addressed, idk why the hell its not on a shared google drive. but again, if you read this and you have it just post it in google drive and make it shareable. I unfortunately don't have telegram access, if i did i'd take my own advice. I'm going to stereotype so forgive me and say a lot of us are very well educated. it's kind of sad that we cant create one shareable document. 

 

To answer your question vader, i've been keeping track and the earliest was a May 26th DQ, at least from this group. 

@Darthvador25

@mo93

let me address that “telegram” issue for you both. 
when we started that group. It was all online accessible to everyone. 
we started asking people to share their timeline so we know whats going on. This was two years ago. 
 

but you know what happened? 70% of people did. NOt share their timeline. They just wanted to know and not be part of the data. 

We can’t predict accurately if we dont have enough data. but people just dont want to share and wants to know other people’s date?  

so why such secrecy about your DQ?

so I ask now. Why such secrecy? Why not just share your timeline and help the cause?

 

i have put my own money to maintain that group and keep that running. There are other people who help us too.
i have personally made that website you keep looking for on my free time in between my work days. And is free information for all who wants to be part of the group. 

Our immigration is done.
And still we pay to keep that group online. 
and in return we ask only two things 

1. Telegram username 

2. Your timeline on the sheet. 
and you have access to everything 

Some of them did join from this thread. But they too never shared their timeline. Just wanted to know where others are at and remain themselves hidden.

 

thats not how “free” thing work. 
you have got to give the community something to get something from community.

Can anyone please update if they have travelled from North India (Punjab Haryana specifically) to Mumbai airport. What sort of restrictions they apply on arrival. I read the above post but still want to know personal experience. Thank you 🙏

To those who have done there interview or at least the VAC portion, are you guys getting the passport with the Visa stamped right away at the consulate or is it being shipped to your house?
