Three things to fix, in the order they matter. Written up against your file, so you are working from a document afterwards and not from notes.
The hour
What actually happens between joining and hanging up.
- First 10 minutes
We read what you have
You share your file before the call, so the hour does not start with uploads. We arrive having already been through it once.
- Next 25 minutes
Document by document
Every document against what the consulate asks of it. What is absent, what is the wrong version, what is out of date, what says something a different document contradicts.
- Next 15 minutes
The parts that are not documents
Whether the trip your itinerary describes is the trip your bookings and your money describe. This is where most files come apart, and it is not visible from any single page of them.
- Last 10 minutes
What you do next
The list, in order, with the reason beside each line. You leave the call knowing what to fix first.
The file
Every document, and then the things between them.
What we are looking for
Names that match across every document, a passport with enough validity left, and old passports that account for the stamps.

This is the tourism list, the most common one and the one every other is a variation on. The free document checklist builds the list your own case needs.
Questions
The ones worth answering before you pay.
No, and nobody can. The consulate decides that, on the day, on grounds it does not publish. What an hour can tell you is whether your file has the documents it needs, in the form they are asked for, saying things that agree with each other.
That is the part you control, and it is the part that gets files questioned when it is wrong.
The documents you have collected so far, uploaded before the call. They do not need to be complete: an incomplete file is a perfectly good thing to bring, and finding what is missing is half of what the hour is for.
If something is still a draft, bring the draft.
You can move the call from your account up to the time it starts. The slot you release goes back on sale, and the new one is confirmed the same way.
If something has gone wrong and you cannot reach the booking, support can move it for you.
Yes. The list is written up against your file and stays in your account, so you are working from a document afterwards rather than from notes you took during a call.
₹1,499 covers one file, and a file is one traveller's application. Two people travelling together are two files, because two people have two sets of documents and the check is of the documents.
If you are travelling as a family, say so when you book and we will tell you what that costs before anything is charged.
An hour now, or a refusal letter later.
An advisor goes through the file you have already built, document by document, and tells you what a consulate would stop on. ₹1,499.
