Hello everyone,
My parents got visa at Calcutta consulate. They come under Mumbai jurisdiction but when we were booking appointments for them, we were getiing the dates for October. So we took a chance and got appointment at Calcutta.
I had called Calcutta consulate twice and first time I talked to an American lady, she had said that they can come to Calcutta, no problem.
Next time, I called, I talked to an Indian guy. He seemed friendly but said they should goto Bombay. Then he was kind of chatting with me about overall visa situation etc and I confirmned with him that their going to Calcutta will not be reason of rejection. He said yes as long as they can show reason for travel/travel plan and reasons to come back, they will get the visa.
I had sent the documentation as per immihelp site for both me and my husband. From the brief talk, I have had with folks in India, they asked questions about my education, job etc. Will post more details later. I don't know how long their visa is for.
This is a great relief as I am expecting in Sep and would like my parents to be here soon. Now I feel much more relaxed. Good luck to all you guys!!
