  9. Carry four bank drafts. One for the amount to cover the visa fee for three years. Three drafts each covering one-year visa fee. This will help u to pay the fee depending upon the no. of years for which visa is granted (1,2, or 3 years) The visa fee should be to the exact amount .this varies as per us $ value.

You need not stand in the queue over night. You may stay in egmore. Go over one day in advance and find the visa fee for that week and buy the draft (if you have not yet done that).. Keep all the documents in order and keep one copy of all the documents ready to summit if required.
