February & March Visa Interviews (India)

[Manish+Manya 0]

Hello Fellow Members,

Just want to let everyone know that my wife's K3 Visa is approved!!!! .

Here is some information on what went on at the interview.

1) Reached there at 7:30am

2) First person to get inside. Got interviewed by 1st Immigration Officer around 8:30. The gentleman only asked for the K3 checklist. Did not ask for any 'Proof of relationship'

3) Was told to pay fee and get fingerprints done.

4) Around 10am, second interview occurred. That gentleman asked alot of question (about 10) and mostly about me and what i do here in America.

Over all it went real smooth!

Quick Question: Does anyone know how long does it take for the Embassy to send the documents over to VFS? My wife had her interview on Monday and she called them up today and VFS office stated that they have not recieved her passport yet. She is planning to leave on Thursday (India Time).

Thanks!

Congratulations !!!!

Hope you get her visa on time. Keep following up with VFS.

All the best.

All of this waiting. All of this hoping. And now............we have an interview date and we are both scared to death! So much to do before 3/24. We are both feeling overwhelmed and nervous and wondering how we are going to get everything together (He's still waiting for the passport office certificate, and it may not arrive on time to be able to submit to VFS). Eeekkkk!

Dont worry. You have sufficient time. Dont Panic.

Everything will be ok.

I am back from my visit to Ludhiana. Congrats everyone who got their interviews done. Looks like everyone got through. That's a good indication. Tomorrow I will be going to Chennai for my medicals. So made a quick checklist. Let me know if anything is missing.

a) two photos

B) interview letter (original)

c) passport (original)

d) medical forms given in Packet 4

Another question.. Do I need to fill in the medical form beforehand or when the Lister Lab at Chennai do their diagnostics?

Thanks,

ravi

Hi Ravi,

My Medical was done in Delhi. I was asked to carry 2 photos, Interview Letter and the passport.

Am not sure about Medical Forms. May be someone who had their medical in Chennai may help clearing your doubt.

By the way... Dont forget to keep the money

Good Luck

Manya

I wrote to the New Delhi Consulate abt PCCs as my father was in the military and we were always moving from 1 place to the other.. As per what I knew - I would have needed PCCs from 4 places..

Here's the reply I got from the Consulate -

Dear Parul:

This is in response to your inquiry regarding the K-1 visa application.

The validity of PCC is one year from the date of its issuance. You need to obtain first PCC from local area police station

where you are residing for the past six months or more. The second PCC is required from the regional passport office.

Thus we need only two PCCs from India. Applicants who have resided in any other country for one year or more after

The age of 16 may also be required to submit police certificates for these countries.

We hope this information is useful to you. However, please contact us in case of any clarification.

Sincerely,

Visa Information Unit

U. S. Embassy

New Delhi, India

Hope this info helps people who are confused about PCCs

Thank you SOOOO much for that information - my husband and I have been going crazy with these things!

I took my x-ray and the medical report to VFS. They took the report but told me to take the x-ray to the Consulate for the Interview...

Don't know abt Chennai.... Would keep it though (having it will not harm, not having it might)
