Nowhere it was written that I had to carry my photographs with me for my Visa stamping. But the person verifying the documents asked for my photographs as if I had done a mistake. When I replied in English that my VAC appointment was the day before and my photo was taken there, he replied in Hindi that those photos were not clear and I had to submit the photos in 3 hours or else I would have to reapply for a new interview slot. Please don t assume that everyone knows Hindi. When I reply in English that means I am not well versed with Hindi. @Everyone:- Please make sure to carry passport sized photographs because the photos taken at VAC appointment is a joke. ( There is a studio 2 Km away from consulate which charges you 50 rupees per photo)

There aren t any restroom facilities available outside the consulate so plan accordingly. No mobile phones or smart watches are allowed inside and the locker charges 50 rupees per item. They let you in half an hour before your appointment time.
