:dance: FINALLY after a long wait husbands VISA GOT APPROVED yesterday!!!

:dance::dance::dance::dance::dance::dance:

Here are some details regarding what happend...

6: 45AM Showed up at the consulate

7 AM Took Immigrant Visa Category in consulate FIRST :dance: saved time

7: 30 AM Got called to Window to verify documents

Waiting followed

10:15 AM Name called for interview

2 indian ladies took interview...heres what was asked and h:

Where is your wife?

How long has she been here with you?

Why did she come?

How did you meet before marriage? (via family member thru net)

Do you have any email/chat printout as proff?

Why did you not emails oftenly after March 07?

Do you have any wedding pictures? is this all?

Finally they lady said your passport will be mailed with visa ....

10:30 husband asked to pick up at VFS rather then having passport couriered

10:35 was out of the consulate

Did not ask for any documents, not even I 864....Chest Xray's was waste to carry..they don't even want to see.

Tip: Do NOT take dvd as proff of relationship as its not allowed in the consulate.

4:15 PM Went to VFS office to pick up passport and was told to stand in line....my god line was LOOOOOOOONNNGGGG

4:45 PM Immigrant Visa Category got called to the front of line :dance: saved time again

5:00 PM Went down in the basement of VFS and came out with Passport and Yellow Envelope in 5mins

SMOOTH PROCESS WITHOUT ANY PROBLEMS....

hope this helps whomever if possible....
