I went with my 9 year old daughter and my cousin this week. I must say it was a much better experience than when I went in 2017 with my now 11 year old. They ground floor now has actual ample seating, in 2017 we had to sit on the floor. We arrived at ~10am and we were out by 1:30pm, which for us was critical as we took the train up from Philadelphia.

If their website was up to date on their requirements, I would have given them a 5-star rating. If you re going note that you also need the following documents - a copy of your old passport data page, a stamped envelope, so they can mail back your passport (I used priority mail), each family member needs the payment slip attached to their application - since I paid for my daughter I only had one payment slip which meant I had to go to the Indian shop round the corner to print out a second one, that cost me $5.
The Indian shop round the corner is definitely making loads of money off the embassy and their inability to update their website.

Finally, for parents with young kids, note that you are not allowed to bring in snacks, this was definitely an issue for us as I had packed snacks like I was expecting a sit-in , this was a strictly enforced rule.

Overall, a decent experience, I am an Ibadan girl through and through and was ready to rough it, glad to say I didn t need to, if they keep this up, you simply need to pack the right documents and your patience. I hope our passport arrives within the month as they indicated.
