Visa Approved Today

[julietom 0]

Alhamdulillah I got approved for my visa today from the embassy in Kuala Lumpur. Tomorrow I can pick up my passport from VFS!!!

A whole lot of thanks to all those who put up information/experiences in this forum. These valuable information is what has helped me to get to where I am right now. No amount of gratitude can fully express how I feel right now.

Here's how it went today:

I went to the embassy at 8.30am today and at 9am they called me to the counter. I submitted my medical checkup minus my x-ray, a passport photo, and some documents (original birth cert, husband's employment letter, all old and current passports).

I was told to come back at 1.30 pm for the interview.

I came at 1 and waited while they were at lunch. At 1.30 I got called to the counter. The lady was very nice. I had to raise my right hand for the oath thingy. Then she proceeded to go through all the documents with me, giving me back the orginals and had me read and sign the DS-230 Part II. After that while we went through the last couple of forms she asked me a couple of questions -

- where did you guys meet

- were there a lot of malaysians at the college

- what major were you and your husband

- in 1 minute, please tell me about your husband

- where does he work, what does he do, when did he start, how much does he earn

- did you meet his family

- how did your parents react to you wanting to marry an american

- explain why you have a lot of US visa in your passports

and then she asked to look at 10 photos and we were done. she said congratulations you qualify for this and proceeded to explain on how to obtain my passport and visa the next day.

She asked if i had any questions. these were my questions -

- do i get to work right away (y)

- when do i apply for the green card (fill in and submit to dept of homeland security right away after poe)

- when to apply to remov conditions (3 months before 2 yr anniversary)

- do i get to keep my SSN or will i be assigned a new one (keep old one)

- can i apply for drivers license right away (depending on state law)

and that was it. It was less than half an hour. By 2pm i was already waiting outside the embassy to get a cab home.

Yipppeeee..............Now I can't wait to be with my husband after Eid (Oct)

Anyone due for interview - just be prepared with documents and photos and be yourself. Answer the questions honestly and smile!!

Julie,

Congrats.. ! Happy packing...:-)

Do you have to pick up the passport or it will be couriered to you?

Curious, coz I read on the consulate's website that they have a new courier service and a pick up service at Wisma MCA, not sure whether it's for IV.

Leah,

Yesterday I was told to pick it up today. But this morning the embassy called me to pick it up on Friday. You have to pick it up from VFS in Wisma MCA.

Yeah now I have to figure out how to jam all my stuff into 2 suitcases. And also looking at flight tickets...OMG it's so expensive....most probably going with Etihad Airways to JFK - RM3065 cheapest one i could find

Julie,

Good to learn about the VFS in Wisma MCA. I'm not from KL, so I am hoping they have a courier service to deliver the passport outside Klang Valley.

RM3065 included taxes and surcharges? That's not bad at all ! What I could find for Kul-Chi in the next two months are all above RM4500!! I have even considered flying Airsia to Hong Kong and take a connecting flight from there. But, found out the much lower baggage limit for AirAsia, it won't work. :-)
