Thumbs up add US passport pages

First, thanks to all who've long ago answered not just this but the dozens of questions above. A huge thanks which saved my re-asking a duplicate question .

Yes, that is the form. And you do need it filled out, even in person.

That's so helpful to know & answered my question:

I'll renew mine as I've 2.5yrs left but expect 6 visas to be added + a dozen stamps.

I'll be in Delhi, India next week but I'll take my chances with the NYC agency. Any advice on navigating this agency, likely incredibly busy thus I'll be extra-efficient, is appreciated.
