VFS has made our lives extremely difficult, right up to preparing for the interview. My French fiance, who lives in India, had all the documents prepare a month before the interview. We went together to VFS in Chennai, the closest office to where he lives, and went through our forms with the VFS people. We arrived with the HDFC demand draft, but the VFS people told us not to because I had already paid the $340 fee to USCIS when I filed the application. I was skeptical, so we didn't submit the Packet 3 then and I called VFS. They confirmed with confidence that he didn't have to pay another fee if I already paid the $340 in America. Then we went again to VFS (with the DD, just in case), and for the THIRD time VFS told us we shouldn't submit the money. Three weeks later, my fiance traveled to Mumbai for his interview, and the Consular Officer refused him entry because he didn't have the DD! He told the whole story and luckily secured an interview for the next day, then had to scramble to issue a new DD in the correct amount. When we called VFS, they insisted we "kindly send an email" -- to which we never received a response beyond the auto-generated reply!
