hey everyone. :dance::dance::dance::dance:

actually my wife got the VISA :) (from Mumbai, India)

soooooo happpy right now..the interview was veeeery easy (even I was suprised)

- she went in at 7:30

- paid the visa fees by draft

- called for an interview (a japanese lady)

- asked following question..

who is petitioning for you?

what does he do for living?

do you want children in future?

- after my wife answered the above questions,

she said welcome to US. we will mail the visa/passport to your home

(but she asked if she could pick up the same day, and they said yes)

she was out in 1 hour 35 mins.

actually when she called me, I was like something bad must have happened since she call me this early. but it was good news.

consulate did not ask for any other papers. I was kind of (a lil bit angry). I went thru all that ####### for gathering eveidence of our relationship but down the drain :) but I shouldn't be complaining at this time...

finally its over. I wonder how many mistakes I would have made if I weren't a VJer. I still remember, back in january when I started out this process (b4 I joined VJ), I used to call USCIS for the questions I used to have on I130,G325 and sometimes got wrong asnwers :angry:

I sincerely thank everyone on VJ who have helped me.

thank you very much everyone for your kind help!

I guess, now will take a break from all this paperwork for a week or two. probably be back on the AOS forum now after my wife comes here... :wacko:

gluck to everyone :)

:dance:
