My wife picked up her passport in the evening with a brand-spanking-shiny-new visa on it!

Thanks to all VJers for their help and wishes!

I told my wife before the interview that you'll need to remember the questions so that we can post a review. I'm gathering all the questions and will post a detailed review by tomm....

Procedurally, It follows sachinky's experience to the T.

She stayed at the SwamiNarayan temple thats across from the VFS office where the bus takes off... That would be a good convenient place to stay.

Just got a call from Joan. She was out of the embassy before 11am and was approved. YEAH!!!

She got all the evidence put in files neatly and labelled. The officer complimented her on that but she was questioned by them for about 20 mins. Many questions were asked. She felt like she was talking to a friend. She said no food or drink in the embassy and she is hungry.

So happy for you two!! Congratulations!! Smooth journey at POE. Yeah..the people at the Hong Kong embassy asked a lot of question also in hubby's interview....
