We will pray for you. If yours is a arranged marraige, the one common question they ask is "Who brought the proposal?" or "Who arranged the families to meet?". Also they will want to makw sure that you are not related - so take care of that too. The marraige pictures are the ones they are most interested in looking at. All the best with your interview.

Ganesh, we are glad for you guys. We wish your wife a safe journey to US and a easy POE experience - ask her to remember all the important dates on top of her head - like marraige date. Also ask her to keep the Original Marraige and Birth certificate with the sealed envelopes, just in case they want to see those.

The POE experience at Houston was good and easy. I guess others also will be the same.
