Do post your interview date (once received) and consulate to which you'll be going to (new delhi, kolkata, mumbai or chennai)

Also, visa type (CR1, IR1, K-1, K3, etc)

Thanks!! :thumbs:

Good luck, guys. :)

The New Delhi embassy is still showing Feb interview schedule (unlike Mumbai). Does anyone know when will they be posting the March interview dates?

Am I missing something or is it another reason to conclude that Delhi consulate is all screwed up :angry:

Any comments please?

Thanks.

Visa Approved. :dance:

I think, they asked few questions about family, where do you live, how did you know your husband, looked at wedding album. Pretty routine stuff....

She is going to pick up passport later in afternoon.

Thank you VJ and and all of you. Wish you all the best.

Thank you everybody for the wishes.

I seriously apologize for replying late.

We submitted following documents to VFS.

Passport photocopy

2 Photograph

Biographic Data Forms: DS230 I and DS230 II

Birth Certificate: Original and photocopy (I also submitted originals with NVC)

Marriage Certificate: Original and photocopy (I also submitted originals with NVC)

Police Report - Passport PCC original and Local PCC copy

Medical Report

Interview questions were very typical. Nothing that I have not heard off on this forum.

How long your husband has been gone? Which Visa?

When did you meet first?

When did he come last? Why?

How did you get to know each other?

How did your parents knew each other? If they did.

How long your husband has been working? What does he do?

Name of her parents before marriage. It was funny because, my last name, her last name, her mothers last name before marriage is same, so he was kind of curious about the everybody's last name.

Who sponsored your husband's GC?

Asked for pictures. (Showed family album)

I think we have covered almost everything we can think of.

Good luck to everybody.

Have a Great day.
