Svenkat,

Can you please take a moment to complete your VJ Timeline? As you know, VJ takes info from the timelines (not the timelines in signatures) to generate statistics....thanks!

I also want to wish you a speedy and safe journey to other side of the world!

Flying out tomorrow evening 6 PM EST to Chennai, India from JFK.

Here's my advice. Run down to the pharmacy ASAP. Buy yourself some Pepto-Bismol and other stomach-ache medicine. Then when you're in India, enjoy the street food as much as you can. Stay away from pani puris, though. But eat everything else. You won't find such good and tasty street food anywhere else. The best thing about going to over-crowded Asian countries is the street food. Hands down; Bottoms up. So enjoy it. I'm gonna be doing the same in couple of months.

Safe trip.

[li-lu84 1]

Lilu,

How did you find out your RFE, Doest it specify on AVRS mesage or NVC operator informed you about that? Look at my AVRS, it has changes several times of sending RFE and receiving RFE, Except I got an email which specified that i need to submit DS-230( which already been sent). many of us got same email. svenkat got SIF, 2 days after he received same RFE email. I hope you got my point.

If you already talked to NVC human and found out what was your RFE, You can send RFE with AOS/IV COVER SHEET and also you can add a explanation letter.

B.B.

Miami Boy - I called the operator as it didn't specify which package I got RFE with. I just didn't know whether there was a specific cover sheet needed to return the RFE. Will talk to hubby tonight and tell him to just send it! I am soooo miffed that we have RFE. Like everyone - I want to with my husband now in the States - holiday season is making it all the worse as well!

Thanks for the advice!

Yes. Your packet comes with approved panel doctor's link. You can also pull up the same list from you local embassy's website.

Hopefully, your hopefullness come to pass.

No. I haven't received any response from Sup Sue yet. She usually responds to me after 7 hours and 40 minutes. Since I sent my email at 8:46, I'll probably get a response around 4:30 PM. I can't wait to read what she has to say.

Are there any Nepalese street food that's not available in India? By the way, Napalese girls are hot. They're the perfect breed between brown Indians and Han Chinese.

[LotofPatience 65]

First of all SORRY to all you guys!!!

I slept morning around 3:00AM and woke up really late around 9:30AM today. Also tied up at office in the morning. I have prepared the entire review of the interview steps for you, after talking to my wife over an hour or more. I hope this will be helpful to you guys.

Let me THANK YOU first to all you lovely VJ mates here and it was achieved by your constant support and wishes. We are personally thankful to all of you!

Interview Process

My wife reached the consulate at 7:30AM though her interview was at 9:00AM.

The security screening process started at 8:15AM and she was able to enter the Consulate at 8:30AM. After showing her appointment letter, the token was handed over and asked her to watch the screen for her turn.

First Interview (8:45AM to 9:20AM)

She was called at Counter# 18 at 8:45AM by an Indian Consulate Officer (ICO). ICO had entire file in front of him forwarded by NVC. He asked her if she needs a language translator. She said "No Sir, I am comfortable with the interview in English".

He took the below from her:

* Passport

* Medical report

* Phone logs

* Chat/Email logs

* Religious Marriage Certificate

* All the pictures including wedding album and honeymoon pictures

* Previous tax documents including my W-2 (She said it is with my husband and I don't have it!)

He didn't bother to ask any of the other evidences like child's documents, joint property documents, affidavits from third parties etc. though we had all of them.

After the review of all those docs, he started questioning her.

Literally, she was grilled with almost all the questions in the forms DS-230, I-864, I-130 and G-325A. Luckily, she had prepared well for all those questions and answers.

In addition, the below questions were also asked by ICO.

Q) Who is the petitioner?

Q) In which visa you went to the U.S for the first time?

Q) Why did you surrender your first Green card?

Q) How long you were there in the U.S with him?

Q) Have you traveled to any other countries before the first U.S trip?

Q) What's your husband's job?

Q) When did he reach the U.S for the first time?

Q) When did he divorce, where and for what reason?

Q) Where is his son in the previous marriage living now?

Q) How many kids you have together?

Q) How many kids your husband has?

Q) Your other name used and his ex-wife's name do not match to your religious names, why is that so?

Q) What was the reason to quit the U.S Army?

Q) Do you wish to collect your passport from VFS counter or courier it?

He also collected her landline, cell#, my cell#, her email id and entered them into the system.

Finally, he asked her to sign DS-230 part 2.

This interview lasted until around 9:20AM. Then ICO asked her to take seat and wait.

At 10:30AM, she was called again to take all her 10 fingers' prints. Again wait started.

Second Interview (12:30PM to 12:40PM)

At 12:30PM, she was called again by an American Consulate Officer (ACO). ACO greeted her and apologized by being late. ACO took her oath before starting further.

ACO asked the below questions:

Q) Who is the petitioner?

Q) When was your marriage?

Q) How did you meet each other?

Q) What quality of your husband attracted you to marry him?

Q) What is his educational background?

Q) Why did you surrender your first Green card?

Q) Were you married before?

Q) What was the reason to quit the U.S Army?

Then ACO asked her to show our wedding album.

Finally, ACO returned all the originals that we submitted to NVC back to her.

Wish you a good day and your visa is APPROVED! Congratulations! She offered many thanks back to him!

This interview lasted until around 12:40PM.

Finally she left the consulate building after 12:45PM. That's it!

[malvika 1]

No. I haven't received any response from Sup Sue yet. She usually responds to me after 7 hours and 40 minutes. Since I sent my email at 8:46, I'll probably get a response around 4:30 PM. I can't wait to read what she has to say.

Yes, in fact there are so many Nepalese street food that are not available in India. Did you find them perfect breed betn brown Indians and Han Chinese? oh boy, you'ven't seen the beautiful Nepalese girls then

[IndigoSkies 168]

Good golly, Miss Molly! They did really grill her. Well thankfully not literally. The local officers are jerks in every embassies from what I hear. It's like they're mad with their (limited) power. Oh well, thankfully everything went well. I don't blame you for sleeping late and waking up later. I bet your looking forward to the day you take off.

We're all very happy for you, Loto.

[malvika 1]

Thanks for the detail review Loto. I hope that will definitely help others too. Wish you more & more good luck for your future endeavors.
