NVC FILERS - FOR October - 2010

[LotofPatience 65]

Hi Guys,

Firstly let me apologize for having not been on this forum for a while. Am still in India and having a good time here.

My wife had her interview yesterday at the Chennai Consulate and her visa was approved.

Her interview was at 8:00 AM. We reached the consulate at 6:30 AM and was called in at around 7:40 AM and she was given a token.

She went in and waited for around an hour for her interview with the Indian ICO.

She was called by the Indian ICO around 8:45 AM and she was asked if she needed a translator. She said yes. I had asked her

to get a translator as I wanted to make sure the accent wasn't an issue.

He asked her for the documents she had and she gave him the phone logs, tax documents and our travel/stay together in India. He skimmed through the phone logs and gave it back to her. He said the travel docs are not required and gave it back to her. He specifically looked at the tax document for 2009 and he removed the w2 and other papers from the file which was given to him. He also asked her if she had her album but did not ask to see it. He asked took the medical reports but asked her to remove the X-ray from it. She opened the cover, removed the x-ray and gave him the other medical records.

The Indian ICO asked her the following questions,

1) what is your full name ?

2) Who does you husband work for and what does he work as ?

3) Where is he right now ? Is he in India or US ? when did he come to India ?

4) What is his DOB ?

5) How do you know him ?

6) Where do you live now ?

7) Do you have your birth certificate & marriage certificates ? She said they should be with him as it was already

submitted.

8) Did you fill the form (Ds-230 form) yourself ? she said yes. He asked her why would you need a translator if you can fill the form yourself. She said she was capable of reading and filling the form herself but she wanted a translator as she was not very fluent in english and he was ok with the answer.

He asked her to sign the DS-230 part 2 and asked her to wait.

She had her finger prints taken in another 15 minutes and waited for about 45 minutes for the American ICO to call her.

She took the oath with the American ICO and the following questions were asked by the American ICO,

1) What is your full name ?

2) When did you get married ?

3) How do you know your husband ?

4) Did you get married on your own accord or otherwise ?

5) Where did the marriage happen ?

6) Asked for the album and asked her to show the "Solemnizing" pictures. He looked at the pics smiled and said his birthday

was the same as our wedding day.

He said Congratulations, Your visa has been approved and gave her the original birth certificate and marriage certificate back. He also took the right thumb finger print again.

She was out by 10:20 AM.

YAAAAAAAAAAYYYYYYYY, Congratulations Siva and Divya for the visa approval :dance: :dance:

I knew it from your email today morning, but this one is a good one and a detailed one. Let's party Bit worried since there was no update from you and didn't get you over the phone yesterday at your Indian# after the interview.

Siva, Enjoy the life in India and don't forget to come back in the beginning of March

Regards to Divya from Fathima

Wonder if this post will make it to the 400 page? Just thought I'd give you a helping hand Loto!

Itching to know when my interview is - I see what people mean when they get to this point - you are so close and just want it all over asap! May try the DOS instead today and see what they say seeing as NVC shut again! Makes me feel like I am being useful anyway!

Congrats to all those who have had CC's and visas approved already this week!

Good luck to a Feb middle interview, Lilu You are in the safe hands of a fortune teller

Thanks Lilu for your post, that's why I was able to make the first post in the 400th page here

Good Morning Folks,

Congrats to svenkat for his successful interview and congrats to all of us for reaching 400 pages

I am very sad to say that F2A date didn't move forward in Feb 11 Visa Bulletin. I feel sorry for those who were waiting for their priority date to become current like Miami_Boy and few others.

WOW, 400 pages and almost 6000 posts. Glad to see so many of our October group making progress in their journey. I am hoping my wife can get an Interview in April anyway. Checking with other China petioners, the China consulate takes alot of time to get an Interview for many people. I would like to go for my 3rd visit to China, but it is very dangerous to travel this time of year with so much bad weather. I see the Atlanta airport is still not moving. Last year on my March visit, I barely got out of Atlanta a few hours before the snow hit, and shut down the airport. So maybe an April visit will be my best bet. Best of Luck to everyone..

Yes, wife had snow a few weeks ago. That was the first snow in Chongqing in 19 years. It looked strange to have snow on tropical trees.

For me, it's merely page 150. I have maxed out the settings to see more posts and more threads in one page. I love you all that much.
