HI guys,

Can one of you New Delhi experts please update this page and bring it into 2008

I know the list of medical doctor's have changed and they now have 6 options instead of 4.

Is packet 3 and 4 still the same for K-1 visa holders?

Nope - Packet 3 and packet 4 are different. Packet 3 is just a single form [forget which right now] to determine who is coming in for the interview and a checklist. If you have your case number from NVC, you can walk up to the outside counter and get it right away.

Packet 4 contains your appointment letter, medical info, and VFS info. You will only receive Packet 4 after you've returned Packet 3. The packet 4 stuff and all other info goes to VFS no earlier than 15 days but no later than 10 days prior to your interview date.

Once we have our interview - in about 3 weeks - I'd be happy to share more info!

Good luck.

Hi Karri!

Thanks for the wishes of goodluck.

The interview wasn't bad perse but we did get a 221g. Let's see, the CO was ok to talk, asked some typical questions. Our situation was a little difficult for a couple of reasons - we got engaged right after I divorced my ex and that's a typical red flag. I had been separated for awhile and all that but technically we met and started our relationship while I was still married. So there was some explaining to do about that. Also I was there only once - don't think that helped. It was a hard desicion to not go for the interview itself but with the economic scenario I couldn't chance losing my job.

The CO said that he just didn't see enough proof of relationship but said that he'd keep the case open and gave a list of info to compile that we can send into VFS. Some of the info he had with him at the time but I truly think the CO was basing his desicion on only what was said; not paperwork available my SO had with him. I think my SO even said that he read the list there and mentioned that he had some of what was being requested with him and the CO said to just bundle everything together and hand it in to VFS. Looks like our case is going to get a second review.

I keep flip flopping in my head from - ok, they were convinced enough to not send the case back so there is hope to awwwwwww why didn't we get approved!!!! I could have dealt with namecheck/secuirty ap without much issue. My SO is Muslim - I expect namechecks. But to hear they are questioning our relationship really bothers me.

If you look in the consulate section you'll see a post from JBean who also got a 221g. Here's hoping it isn't contagious!
