Come on Shanna! Post the good news already... :D

Sorry I'm late!! Of course, WE ARE APPROVED!!!!!! good.gif

The interview was easy as pie and he was only at the consulate for 2 hours total. He paid extra at VFS to be bussed to the interview and was VERY glad that he did. I am going to write my review right now from what he told me, but wanted to let you know for Kinnari that the consulate is SUPER crowded even for typical India so be prepared. Prem said that he got a seat, but that someone was always standing right in his face because there were so many people in there. Overall, the process was very straightforward and easy. He was also able to pick up his passport and visa that evening at 5:30 PM. We are going to buy his ticket tonight so I get to see my baby in 4-5 days!!! :)

Only one more week to go for you guys. I can't wait for you to be done as well. Good luck and keep us posted.

Whooo Hooo! So happy for you both!

Thanks for letting me know about the crowded embassy. I hear that place is old as dirt and now the new consulate is being opened the 21st of this month.

Thanks for your help Shanna and I'm glad that the 3 of you will be reunited soon!

I'm also happy to hear they were able to give him his visa the same day.

I'll be on here live waiting for the news from Kinnari for the interview results... Check back in next week. :)
