Harsh call this number 011-24198062 between 10 am - 10:15 am. They will take your call during that time. I always call them during that time. If you call them after 10:15 am then they don't take your call 'coz after that it gets busy.

Call them again on 25th or 26th. Try to call DOS first. Its easy that way. :whistle:

Harsh - read your experience. Sorry to hear that. Keep in mind it is just a matter of time and in the end it will all be worth it.

As far me, I am getting ready to fly to India at end of this month to bring my fiancee back with me. YAY :dance::dance::dance:

The results are in fresh outside the embassy........Moksha got approved congrats!, Karri and Sam......221g :crying: They wanted relationship evidence. Stuff we already submitted, that guy was a jerk! Wouldn't even let us show him our engagement album! Sam will get back to Chandigarh tomorrow and will post the complete list. I think they asked for 7 things including a voter's thingie for 5 years. A notarized statement stating I can speak Sam's language. jerks! No hablo Hindi. =(

Anyways this can go one of two ways. A) we submit what they want and they approve us in a few days or weeks B ) they sit on it until our NOA2 expires on May 9th and deny us at which point what are my options? Move there and get married and file for a different visa?

Congratulations Moksha. Really happy for you. :dance::dance:

Sam and Karri - really really sorry to hear that. :crying: Hope it does not take too long for you guys. Speak the same language.!!!... that is a first. Don't those jerks know that love knows no boundaries... geo/race/caste/creed.. even Language for that matter...I can go on. You guys can communicate in English.. can't you ... this is insanity. Those guys have carte blanche when it comes to visas and they spare no efforts in exercising that...again, sorry to hear that. You will both be in my prayers.

Take one step at a time. Try to answer what they want without wasting any time. Other options would be DCF, which requires a 90 day stay I believe. Have not looked into it to know if that applies to K1 or just IR1/CR1 or K3 cases, in which case, you will need to marry. But, I believe, you do not go through USCIS, straight through the Consulate. So, that would be faster, I imagine. You can always do a K3. K3 cases from CA appear to not take as long...

Congrats Moksha! I'm sure the two of you are very excited!

Karri and Sam - I'm so sorry. But all is not lost! You have a chance to go back with more information and you should do your best to try and explain/prove away any issues they may have. To me, the biggest thing that came up would be the language request. Does Sam get a little tongue tied in English when nervous???? From the CO's point of view, if there is poor communication how can there be a strong relationship. In theory, most would agree with that - BUT, if around you the English comes easily well who's to argue that. The trick is proving that. Did the CO ask him to read any emails or chatlogs out loud? Has Sam emailed you extensively or did you have volumes of chat logs to send in? That may show his english skills.

The voter's card can be a nightmare - do not be surprised if the dates are off or if he's only listed for some years and not all five. If elections aren't any time soon in his neck of the woods and there are issues with that, he may be able to have things fixed before sending in the additional info. I know of people who've had the wrong bday listed, wrong name spellings, or wrong family name issues - if this comes up, pm me. Somewhere in my archives I have something with the office and title of an municipal employee that may be able to write a letter explaining away the discrepancies...

Ok - now - worse case - you DO have options, you CAN impliment plan B, C, or D [how every many you have] down the road. But, for now, focus on getting your 221g info together and out to VFS. Yes, you can marry him there but it will be an involved process timewise [special marriage act means a good 30+ days]. Yes, you can file for a CR1 or K3 after that. But please keep this in mind - people with 221gs sometimes get the visa too, they just have a little more of a wait - so take it one step at a time, call your officials and get them on the case too, after handing in the info email [and/or call] the embassy weekly and call DOS weekly.
