interview done on 2nd may

[DasBoot 7]

Hey everyone,

My interview was on 2nd May, Mumbai consulate, India.

The 1st thing you are asked to do is give the fingerprints in front of the counter, where they also return you all the originals along with all those you have already submitted to the VFS earlier.

I didn't take cell ph with me, heard its hassle to keep it outside& I was alone. The same thing happened with me as someone has once mentioned here in this forum. My draft amount was wrong. The packet 4 said that the exchange rate would be 48 rupees whereas the fee instruction said it would be 47! So I had to go out of the embassy and make a new draft. Fortunately there's Bank of India right beside Mumbai Consulate which opens at 8 am. But I think when I came back to the embassy with the new draft my position in the que got shifted, but that's still ok!

Paper work is the most important thing and if you have that in order, you are less likely to be disapproved unless there is other complications.

They didn't require my police certificate from the police dept. but took the one from the passport office. I had submitted affidavit against birth certificate but you also need a no record certificate along with that ( thanks to krsn for reminding me that).Carrying pics with you is a must & they will ask all candidates for that.

questions-

1.when your fiance went to US?

2. when did he become citizen? how?

3. how did your father in law went their?

4. when was the last time he was here? how many days?

5. when was the last time I was in US? how long? longest visit? why/what purpose?

6. siblings of both of us

7. will my parents go to wedding? what if they can't?

8. where is wedding in US? exactly where?

9. what does he do?

thats all I remember so far ....just ping me if you have any particular question.........

respite after loong...I straight away headed to Haji Ali(the movie Fiza have popularized this mosque a lot!), wasn't sure whether they will allow me enter, but the cab driver said its ok anybody and everybody can go there wearing whatever they feel like

Hi, what is the "no record certificate?" do you need that if you have a normal birth certificate in English?

I don't think you need a no record certificate if you have your normal birth certificate in English. Check the specifications for birth certificates and make sure yours has all required information.
