ORIGINAL POSTERHi everyone,
Indian freelancer here (cyber-sec + web dev, Upwork $100k+ last 3–4 years, 100% JSS, GST sole prop, >800k THB liquid, passport with 45+ pages of stamps, zero overstays).
Applied Mumbai consulate early November 2025.
Timeline so far:
* 1 Nov 2025 — Application submitted
* 4 Nov 2025 — Paid 25k INR DD offline (via friend)
* 8 Nov 2025 — Submitted Upwork portfolio + full passport
* 11–17 Nov 2025 — Submitted bank statements, ITR + 26AS + mutual funds
* 18 Nov 2025 — Submitted education + certifications
* 19 Nov 2025 — Submitted flight ticket + hotel booking
* 20 Nov 2025 — Submitted PCC self-declaration (no criminal record)
* 21 Nov 2025 — Status went to Pending Approval → suddenly called for in-person interview on 27 Nov at Mumbai consulate
That’s 6–7 rounds of additional docs in 3 weeks.
Anyone from Mumbai (or India) who has already done the DTV interview?
