Take all the documents you have sent on a pen drive if you have time to scan everything before your trip.

Have a safe trip and hopefully I can bring good news first for the interview before you do! :)

Man...it makes me so jealous of everyone able to travel to be with the husband/wife on the day of the interview... makes me not want to log into VJ!

Hi All,

I am writing as much details as I can about my wife's CR1 visa experience today in Chennai, india. Even though her interview is scheduled at 1PM today they allowed her inside the consulate at 12PM. Security guards checked her interview letter and the folders that she was carrying. Please do not carry any electronic items such as cell phones, flash drives e.t.c but you are allowed to carry PEN,PENCIL and you can also wear watch. They also stamped on every folder as part of security regulations. Once she went inside, she waited for almost 45 minutes. One male Indian officer asked my wife's medical report. He also asked my Year 2010 W2, however my wife doesn't have that and she said she only has Year 2010 tax returns and tax transcript and he accepted it. After this they asked my wife to be seated and wait for the next call.

After 1 hour, she was called again and consular officer took finger prints of her and have her sign DS 230 PART II. At the same time they returned my wife's civil documents such as ORIGINAL BIRTH CERTIFICATE and ORIGINAL MARRIAGE CERTIFICATE. After this they asked my wife to be seated again. After an hour my wife called by Consular Officer for final interview. Below are the questions they asked her.

1. How did you meet your husband

2. What is your wedding date

3. After wedding how many days your husband stayed with you?

4. Did he visit you after he went back to US?

5. Have you been to any other countries before?

That's all and then the final magical words from CO, "Congrats! Your visa is approved and we will mail your passport within 7 business days. My wife carried tons of evidences such as wedding pictures, call history e.t.c but they did not ask anything but I advise everyone to carry tons of evidence just in case because you never know.

USCIS:

3/14/11 - I -130 sent to USCIS Chicago Lockbox

Congrats Ganesh and thank you for sharing your experience. I reached Chennai today morning and wife was waiting for me at the airport (she reached one day before and stayed with a friend). It was so nice to meet her after 4 months. We checked into Sea Shell Residency - I have copies of W-2s also just in case (submitted Tax Transcripts with AOS). Relaxed and then walked to Consulate and then to VFS just like that. Very glad to hear your experience and are looking forward to tomorrow's interview. I will go in, if they allow me else I can walk back to the hotel and get my cell phone.

Is your wife going to collect the Visa tomorrow at VFS or chose to collect it at VFS, Hyderabad?

Hey guys!

I am debating here on what to do ...

Some of you allready know the story, for others here in short : Went to Embassy last week, missed out on a paper (birthcertificate of Joint Sponsor, basically proof of citizenship) .. anyways,, Called the Embassy back later to ask them what kind of copy they needed,, they said certified copy...

NOW.. If you read the instructions for the filing of I 864 for Joint Sponsor, (where NVC should of noticed it was missing.) It says: For U.S. citizens or nationals, a copy of your birth certificate, passport, or certificate of naturalization or citizenship

So A COPY.

NO specifications...

See, tomorrow I have to go back to the Embassy, if I have the document.. They only take 'comebacks' on Thursdays, If I don't have the original through UPS by tmorrowmorning, here I have another delay of a week to go back up there...

What would you do??

Go with a regular copy anyway? If UPS doesnt get the original to me by tmrwmorning?

Thanks for any advice!

I really dont know what to do!
