Thank you,Thank you and Thank you!!

Vivek, Your wife interviewed at Chennai,right?

What did u have to hand over at VFS and did she pay the fee in cash or did they ask her to bring a DD? My wife's freaking out already and she's having me research everything right this moment. Also, about the medical report, did your wife give it to VFS, or is that a bring-it-to-the-consulate thing?

Thanks!

SJ........ I posted in response to the same questions in the May interview thread. Here is the link to my post. Hope this helps. We paid Cash at VFS. Yeah good to be ahead of the game and get all the research done.

US Embassy in Bangkok closed due to recent violence in the political protests that have been going on for the past 2 months. WHAT THE H3LL?! There are 25 days until his interview. That means they have 25 days to FIX THIS.

I can't believe it...Less than one month away...I have to organize my flight, his flight, hotel stay, his medical, all evidence, documents....Oh my goodness, how am I going to do that?

It sucks because in Hong Kong, you can't have your medical till you have the interview letter....now, we only have less than a month left....

SO excited, but also a little freaked out right now...I was thinking we won't get it till the end of June or July....SO soon....

Starting to wonder now... what can I expect AFTER we finally get our date?

Do we get something in the regular mail or just email?

I know when we attempted the K1, Mohsin never received anything in the mail (although the embassy told us he would). They finally emailed everything he needed.

I am starting to feel nervous already! We know how much we love each other... just hope the CO sees it too!

The interview assignment was emailed to my husband's email account, together with the information from the embassy. But for Hong Kong Embassy, there is a lot more information, like the medication exam information, needs to be found/downloaded from the embassy webpage...

after you get the interview, you just wait, wait waaiiiiitttt for the interview date to come!

you can be proactive in trying to move the date forward once the embassy receives the case from the NVC. but other than that, just get your medical and prep your docs!

Thanks! I just love waiting... LOL!

I really don't see me trying to move the interview date any closer, as long as it is in June or July. I have so much to do before the trip!
