CP Interview Processing times - Chennai

[padmaja]

My application got registered in the NVC database in mid-Jan.
1) When can I realistically expect my Packet 3
to arrive?
2) when can I expect an interview from Chennai?
My parents are coming here in summer and I need to get a good idea to book their tickets.

2) when can I expect an interview from Chennai?

2-3 months after ur pkt 3 is received by the chennai consulate. I have seen earlier postings, that it's more faster/reliable if u hand deliver packet 3 to the consulate. When u hand deliver go to the embassy around 3:00PM tuesday-friday.

If u hand deliver u should get a date within 45 days

my details are

NV created Case on : 26th Nov
Packet 3 hand delivered : Jan 2nd
Interview Date 21st March

sanjeevkaul - How did you come up with 45 days?
Even your interview was schedule after 78 days.

I checked my status on the NVC automated message and found that my case was sent to my lawyer on Jan 29. My lawyer has not heard from them so far even though their office is in Boston.
What seems to be the scoop on how long it takes for Packet 3 application to reach my lawyer.
I don't think I can get the packet hand-delivered in Chennai. So will it be an April date or a March date?
