Thanks to everyone at immihelp !
My wife and myself were successful with our CP process at Mumbai. Here is our experience -
We are arrived just before 9 am, interview was at 9:30. You can just go up to the door and show your interview letter and passports. As soon as you enter there will be a line, which seems like is for all the non-immigrants also, the guy standing there tells you to go to window 10 if you are there for GC interview.
The lady on window 10, takes your interview letter and asks you to wait. We waited for about 2 hrs., she then called us and prepared a file each for myself and my wife. All she asked from us were birth certificates, police certificates and marriage certificates. From a letter from employer. She also took the ADIT pictures, she accepted my wife's pics. but asked to to take them again. No need to panic, there is a photographer at the end of the room, charges Rs. 200 for 5 pics. Make sure birth certificates are translated to English and notarized. Take your school leaving certificate as a back up for your birth certificate. They had my grandfather's name on my birth certificate, this was not there on my other docs. So I should them my 10th standard certificate. She will also make you sign a letter saying that you will go back to work of the same company.
Also the fees, she knew that we had already paid the fees in the US, she asked me if we had and we said yes. But I had also carried with me a copy of the draft sent to the state dept.
After all this you wait for about an hour, we had two people at the interview (on american lady and an indian-looking man). They did not ask anything difficult, just gave us an oath stating that we are saying the truth. She asked me how long I have worked for my co., and how long we had been married. She asked my wife what she was doing ? Thats all.
We paid the issuance fee ($65 each) on window 1 and came back at 3:30 because that is what the guy at the window said. But the only started giving the passports back at 4:30. So if you are not in a hurry, no use going early to retrieve the passports.
Thats it .. cheers !
