My wife just called and her visa was approved. They said they will mail passport and she should get in 3 days, but she is going to try after 4pm to pick it up at the VFS office later today.

Thanks to all the VJers for the help especially Beth for all the PM responses.

Going back to bed right now but will update interview experience in the morning. :dance: :dance: :dance:

- What happened in first marriage?

- Where does his ex wife live?

- Reason for divorce

- Does he still have contact with ex wife?

Go and sit

1115 window 16 American interviewer

Following questions were in English and Gujarati (the ones she didn't understand the interpreter helped out)

What did you study?

What do you do now?

Why don't you work?

What does husband do?

Where does he work?

How long has he worked there?

What did he study?

Why did he divorce?

Why did you divorce?

Have you been to America?

How many relatives in America?

How many people attended marriage?

Arrange or love marriage?

Who did the marriage?

Showed wedding pictures?

Who came from outside of India to attend wedding from her side?

Husband side who attended wedding?

Why did he divorce? - asked question again

Who lives in America on your side?

How many other petitions do you have open

- Her sister and mother both filed for her as well (3-4 years ago)

Checked computer - Called over manager type person and he asked my wife about other open petitions and explained it to the American officer

Does your Husband send you letters/greeting cards? NOT EMAILS, actual snail mail letters and cards. They just checked envelope but didn't read letters. I had sent her 8 cards after I found out about a similar case to ours and she got denied because her husband hadn't sent her snail mail letters. (She had emails but they didn't want that and told her to come back after 2 months)

Officer said Good luck

Wife asked when she can get passport back and what to do with x-ray

Passport will be mailed and sent to you in 3 days

X-ray take to US with you

1125 exited embassy

She went to VFS office at 445pm and picked up passport and brown envelope with visa expiring May 2010

Mumbai VFS only lets you pick up passport from 430pm to 500pm.

Overall a very good experience and they were very nice.

The asked her about my divorce 3 times and all three times in different ways to make sure answers were consistent.

Congrats Gundas

So many questiongs they asked, I thought they ask 5-6 questions.

CONGRATS!!!

I just wish they did not make such a big deal of snail mail. I heard pictures say a lot more about your relationship then cards. Anyways, I am just glad it was a success for your fiance.
