    How long does it takes to get your VISA after your interview and I guess there is courier facility to get your passport with VISA delivered at a particular address?

    • @pratikian
      @pratikian  ปีที่แล้ว

      They say you will get your passport within a 7 days. However I got it in 2 days. Yes there is a facility to get you passport delivered to your address, but that is for an extra fee of ₹650.

      @pratikian  2 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      @@srikanthbasani9999 so if your interview is at 9am, you should reach the consulate at 8.00 or 8.15am. They will mostly let you in by 8.30am. Now depending on the other candidates that have the same 9.00am time slot you will have to stand in the line. For me I almost took 15 to 20mins to get to the counters where the interviews take place. After thay depending on the visa officer your interview can be about 1min to 5mins mostly.
      So according to the above logic, if you enter at 8.30 ... you should be out by max 9.00am. Say you come out by 9.30am (worst case senario), now from the consulate to airport it might take 30 mins , if there is traffic maybe 45mins. So you should be at the airport at 10.15am.
      If your flight is at 11am, you should reach atleast 1 hour early. That is 10am.
      According to me this is possible, but if you have some other option i would recommend, not to buy this flight, as it can be hectic at times. In Mumbai you cannot trust the traffic.
      Incase you don't have any other option only then go for it.

      Depends on when you get a slot. After I20 there is a whole process to first fill your ds160 pay your SEVIS fee and then book an appointment. Appointments are book based on availability.

      So when you get an admit from a US university, the university gives you a i-20, this is a legal document that mentions your name the course you are going for the university name and the financial details.

      The SEVIS fee reciept, when you go to the US for studying you have to pay the SEVIS fee which is basically student exchange fee, once you pay that you will have to take the printout of the reciept.

      You can put the exact address that is in the appointment confirmation.
      The US consulate is opposite trident hotel.

      @pratikian  ปีที่แล้ว

      So in the instructions mentioned it says that it has to be a transparent folder, however, I found a lot of candidates having a non transparent folder and i didn't see anyone objecting it.
      I personally would recommend a transparent folder.
      A smart watch is not allowed, a simple watch may be fine. But i did not take any watch so I am not very sure about this.

    Thankyou so so much . It was really very informative. You have given details that usually no one talk about but we do have these questions in mind only to discover at the time of the interview. I appreciate your effort and hard work. One question is there a seating arrangement while waiting in line ? When should you reach the consulate ? Like and hour before the appointment time ?

    • @pratikian
      @pratikian  2 ปีที่แล้ว

      Thank you so much for the feedback. To answer your question it is recommended that you reach atleast half an hour early. However even if you reach say 15 mins early they will let you in. Just don't be late.
      No there is no seating arrangement the one who comes first stands first.

      So while booking appointment there is an option to select your language of interview. Interviewers are Americans so its very less probable that they know hindi however, if you select hindi as your language preference i guess they have a translator that translates the language.
