Consulate Review: Chennai, India Review Topic: IR-5 Visa Event Description Review Date : May 26, 2011 Embassy Review : Interview for my mother was on May 24th at 1pm. As per the advice of one VJ member mom arrived at the consulate at 12:15pm. There was no line standing outside. She went to the window and handed her interview letter. They asked her why she didn't arrive little bit earlier and asked her to hurry inside. Cleared security. Then went to an Indian lady at a counter who checked her documents and asked for 2010 tax information. (We already submitted 2007, 2008, 2009 at NVC). Mom handed it to her. She asked for pictures and said 3 are enough. Then she was directed to another Spanish lady who took her fingerprints and gave her a token number. A young white lady called my mom's number and asked how many children she has and where they are and how many grandchildren she has. Asked my mom to open the medical packet and gave my mom the x-ray and took all the other medical records. Then finally congratulated my mom and said that she could either pick her passport from the VFS office or the courier will send it to her. However on May 2011 my mom checked the status online on VFS website to track her passport and got the passport and sealed envelope from the chennai vfs office between 4 to 5 pm. (They asked for her vfs receipt, pan card or voterid to claim her passport) Hope this info helps. Rating : Very Good

*Notice about estimates: The estimates are based off averages of other members recent experiences
(documented in their timelines) for the same benefit/petition/application at the same filing location.
Individual results may vary as every case is not always 'average'. Past performance does not necessarily
predict future results. The 'as early as date' may change over time based on current reported processing
times from members. There have historically been cases where a benefit/petition/application processing
briefly slows down or stops and this can not be predicted. Use these dates as reference only and do not
rely on them for planning. As always you should check the USCIS processing times to see if your application
is past due.
