GOT VISA!!!!!!!!!!!

[Shimool 1]

Hi fellas,

First and foremost I gotta thank each and everyone of you guys. If it weren't for VJ and it's members, right now my case would still be at NVC. I used the shortcuts and it saves so much time. Thanks for all the support and advice everyone.

Now I'll tell you guys about my wife's interview. My wife had her visa interview on the 9th of March in Dhaka, Bangladesh. She went to the Embassy at 7am, when her visa was scheduled for 8am. As they let her in, my wife was the 9th person in line. They checked her appointment letter and passport and then she went through security checkpoint and they didn't allow a cell phone inside or to be kept at their lockers. She went inside, and within 10 minutes she was called and was asked for her actual passport, medical report, 2 photos, appointment letter, birth certificate, marriage certificate and police certificate photocopies (originals were already submitted to NVC). They gave her back her original birth certificate and pcc and 20 mins later she was called again for fingerprints. At 9:30 she was called again at a window and it was time for her interview. She had no idea this was the actual interview, because she thought it would be in a room. This was a huge advantage for us, because if she knew it was the actual interview, she'd have been really nervous. The consular asked her the following questions:

Petitioner's name?

How long have you know the petitioner?

Love or arranged marriage? - from what I've heard, the answer to this question makes quite a difference

Marriage date?

How many people attended? and asked to see some pictures

Asked a few more general questions and then said your visa is approved. :D:D

My wife was so shocked and teary eyed and happy that the consular was joking that she can play some music for my wife to dance to. Then she gave her a receipt for her passport to be picked up the next day and that's the end of it. She didn't need any other pictures or any other paperwork.

It was a very painless and fast procedure. It took her a total of only an hour and 30 mins inside the embassy. We are so so happy now. She'll be here next week and finally, FINALLY we can live our dreams.

Once again, thanks everyone

CONGRATS!!!

When your talking about love or arranged marriage what do you it makes a difference?

I know of a couple of my relatives, who had an arranged marriage - basically they didn't know each other beforehand, were delayed. They received an AP slip and had to wait for a few more months. I guess when it is arranged they need to do additional background checks to make sure the marriage is not for the reasons of entry to the states.
