Hello Friends

I reached embassy at 7:15 my interview was on 7.45am .

7:30am Security check @ Embassy

8:00am at window no .16 - Fingerprints

8:30 @ Window no 15 First Interview : one Indian lady was there she first requested me to submit my medical reports and asked 02 questions

1. Is his the first marriage of both of you ?

2. Have to ever been to any other country ?

then she returned the original documents and asked me to wait for the second interview .

9:20 @again window no 15 Second Interview : this time there was Indian boy he was quite friendly first he asked me to sign on DS -230 part 2 . and then asked around 9 questions ..

Who is the sponsor?

How did you meet?

Where does he work ?

what is his designation in his work place?

What is the date of your marriage?

Have your ever been to USA or any other country?

How many people attended the marriage ?

How may people were there from USA on your wedding?

Form how long your husband is there in USA?

Than he said your visa is approved and you will get your passport with in one week .

Surprising nobody ask for any document like Tax returns , W2's , ID proof, marriage photos , honeymoon pics. i was carrying 2 files full of papers with one album.

Now i m waiting for the courier boy :P:D

Congratulations OOM, glad it's finally over for you!

Few questions:

1) Did you have to pay fingerprinting fee at the time of interview? If so, how did you pay it cash or some other way?

2) Did you ask them to pick up the passport same day at VFS?

3) Do you remember how long it took to get your case transferred to Delhi after NVC said it was transferred?

4) After NVC assigned you an interview date, how long did it take you to receive the appointment letter?

Thanks and Good luck! Your answers in the past have been very helpful.
