A visa interview is the one appointment that cannot be late and cannot be rescheduled lightly — and it begins with the question of where to leave your phone.
The US Consulate General in BKC admits no bags and no electronic devices — not even a phone. The sarathi keeps them in the car, locked, until you are out, and you walk in with only your papers.
The house plans the hour from the time on your appointment letter, and has you at the applicants’ gate with time to spare — never late for a slot that cannot be moved.
An interview can take minutes or hours. Keep the car by the hour; it waits where it is allowed to, and the sarathi watches the gate for you.
Most of the city’s consulates are in BKC, Nariman Point, Worli, Peddar Road and Malabar Hill. Send the appointment letter, and the house reads the address and the rules for you.
Each consulate sets its own rules and may change them; the appointment letter is always the final word, and the house reads it with you. The sarathi never enters with you, and never holds a document — only what the consulate will not let you take in.
Inside every written figure: the car, your sarathi, fuel, every toll, parking at both ends and GST. Nothing is added on the day, and no meter runs.
