Chennai VAC on Sunday: A Simple Guide to Planning Your Visit

1. Check Your Appointment Time

On Sundays the time slots at the Chennai VAC are from 1:00 PM to 5:00 PM. You should look at your appointment letter again to make sure you have the date for your appointment at the Chennai VAC. It is better to get to the Chennai VAC in time because arriving at the Chennai VAC more, than 15 minutes before your appointment time is usually not allowed so you can avoid waiting outside in the sun at the Chennai VAC.

Visitors undergo biometric scanning at the US Visa Application Center in Chennai, India, as part of a simple guide for planning your visit on a Sunday.

2. Plan Your Travel

• When you are traveling to Chennai on a Sunday the traffic is usually not that bad. However you will still find some traffic in areas like Nungambakkam High Road because there are a lot of shops

• Parking is a problem, near Good Shepherd Square. You will not find places to park your car on the street. It is an idea to get someone to drop you off or use a taxi service if you do not want to worry about parking your car.

• Address: Shepherd Square, 82 Kodambakkam High Rd, Badrikari, Tirumurthy Nagar, Nungambakkam, Chennai, Tamil Nadu 600034

3. Carry The Documents You Need

To get through the security check quickly put your documents in a clear plastic folder. You will only need to have:

• Your Passport with you.

• The DS-160 Confirmation Page that has the barcode, on it.

• The VAC Appointment Confirmation Letter that you got.

4. Beware of Locker Scams

When you are outside the VAC and the U.S. Consulate you might see people who are not supposed to be and they will offer to hold your bags or phones for some money. Do not do this. These people who offer to hold your things are not safe. You might get scammed or lose your stuff.

For an professional experience you should use a good service like Aprion Digital Locker. Aprion Digital Locker is close by and they have things like

• Smart Security: they use face recognition and digital locks to keep your things safe

• Amenities: they have an cool place to wait and nice restrooms

• Reliability: you can even pick your locker time online before you go.

You should use Aprion Digital Locker because it is a trusted service and it is better, than using those people who are not safe. Aprion Digital Locker is what you should choose for an experience.

5. Aprion Digital Locker is an convenient place

The Aprion Digital Locker is near the U.S. Consulate Chennai so you can walk there.

It is a place for people who want to store their things safely.

• You can book a locker online before you go.

• You can just go to the shop and book a locker in person.

• The Aprion Digital Locker has some things like a waiting area, seats, restrooms and a cool air-conditioned space.

• You can. Sit comfortably while you are there with your things, at the Aprion Digital Locker.

6. What Happens Inside the VAC

The Sunday process is usually quicker than it is on weekday mornings.

You will have to go through security checks.

• Security Screening: you will walk through a metal detector. They do not allow things, like phones or smartwatches or USBs.

• Then there is Token Issuance: the staff will check that you have an appointment and they will give you a token.

• After that there is Biometrics: when the staff call your number you will go to a counter where they will take your fingerprints and a picture of you at the VAC.

7. After VAC on Sunday

When you finish getting your biometrics done you can do whatever you want for the rest of the day. Since you are already in Nungambakkam you can walk to some cafes and restaurants on Khader Nawaz Khan Road to unwind after your VAC appointment.

Remember, your Consular Interview at the U.S. Consulate near Gemini Circle is something and it usually happens on a weekday after your VAC appointment, on Sunday.

Good Luck
