  About four months ago, Mr. Glen Keiser took over as the new Chief Consular Officer at the US Consulate, Mumbai, India (the post).
  ...
  Summarized, below, are the points that were discussed with Mr. Keiser.
  ...
  This initiative is likely to continue till the end of May 2007, and Mr. Keiser mentioned that they hoped to have four TDPs at any one time till the end of May.
  ...
  Mr. Keiser pointed out that the online status of availability of NIV appointments is changed frequently and sometimes twice in a day-in the morning and in the afternoon.The changes are based on the demand and supply of different categories of NIVs and the availability of TDPs.
  
  Of the four posts in India, the Mumbai post is the only one that requires the submission of documents to the VFS five working days prior to the visa appointment when booking an online appointment.According to Mr. Keiser, this is because of the space constraints, the lack of street facing offices where documents can be accepted and vetted, and the high volume of applicants at the post.
  ...
  Mr. Keiser specified that the post continued to deny attorney representation to applicants during the consular interview.This was, among other reasons, because of procedural delays ensuing from attorney interaction during the interview and partly due to the space constraints faced by the post and other posts in India.However, an attorney could submit a letter and additional information, which would enhance the merits of an applicant's H-1B or L visa request.
  
  Mr. Keiser was also of the opinion that an attorney's letter may not carry much weight with regard to an applicant's nonimmigrant intent.But, Mr. Keiser recognized that the US immigration process at the consular level did not support an appeals process.
  ...
  Mr. Keiser along with other consular officers met Mr. Atul Nishar the current president of the Western Region of the IACC and other office bearers, to discuss the modalities.
  ...
  Mr. Keiser emphasized that, as required by US law, it is the onus of the NIV applicant to convince the interviewing officer of his or her non-immigrant intent.A very large number of NIVs are denied because applicants are unable to prove non-immigrant intent.
  
  All in all, I found the meeting with Mr. Keiser very helpful and informative.I thank Mr. Keiser for his cooperation and willingness to disseminate useful information to potential visa applicants at the post.
