Hi Baltar,

As far as I know, if you show your American passport, they let you in but I don't think they allow you to be with ur spouse during the interview. But it all depends on the officer. As always, you can call the Mumbai ambassy and find out.

My personal opinion is to be there with ur spouse at the time of inteview if you can afford it financially and work wise.

Let's hope they let you in. Make sure you give your passport to your wife when she goes in so when they ask her where you are, she can show them your passport as the proof that you are outside waiting.

Good Luck with the interview! :thumbs:

Hey Bigblue,

Did you call NVC about your interview date? As my case was completed on Nov 10th and Nov 12th they had already given me interview date. (Note Nov 11th was US HOLIDAY) About submitting documents to VFS office. I am still doing research on that to tell you truth but I am sure that she has to submit copies of all the set that we submitted to NVC. Also a copy of passport pcc if you did not submitted in DS230 packet. And I will let you know once I am done with my research exactly what docs to be submitted.

I am sorry wasn't the great help to you :crying: :crying:

Good luck and keep me posted!!!! :thumbs:

Dhruvron :)
