Congratulation... :)

All I know, is that I need you... I need you in my life as much as I need food or water or air to breathe - for the longest time, I've had this thirst deep inside... only to be known and understood and be loved for who I am. I have longed for someone, someone like you - to share my life with... all the ups and downs and everything in between. then out of no where - you walked into my life, quenching my thirst, satisfying my longing. and I know from every thing with in - that you are the one... you're the one I've been waiting for all this time. I want and I need you - more than I can usually find words to say... But today and always - please believe and know that you're the one for me and I'll hold you close and I'll never want to let you go...

Hi VJers, we are very glad that we found VJ and started our journey with the help from all you guys. Today (10/25) wife got through her interview successfully. We thanks all of you from the bottom of our hearts. May the good Lord bless you all.

Chennai Consulate didn't allow me in but wife could get in an hour early at 12 noon (interview at 1 PM). The first person checked all her documents, photos and asked her for my 1040 (we submitted I-864 using IRS Tax Transcripts). Since we were ready with copies of 2010, 2009 & 2008 tax returns, she gave those to him. He then browzed through the I-864 documents asked if she will be able to provide any co-sponsor as I was a student for 2 years prior to my current employment. We were ready for this too and she gave him my dad's I-864 and he than said that the case now very strong for favorable consideration.

Then her finger prints were taken and at 1:10, I had my interview with the CO (a young American lady) and here are the questions she asked.

Q1 - Is yours an arranged marraige?

A1 - Yes.

Q2 - How did the proposal come about?

A2 - She explained in detail.

Q3 - How many guests were present at your wedding?

A3 - She answered 16.

Q4 - Only 16?

A4 - She answered saying that it was a registered marraige and only 16 were allowed inside the Marraige Registrar's Office and that we had reception after that.

Then she asked for marraige album and hardly looked at two or three pictures and gave it back.

Q5 - When did you husband move to US?

A5 - She answered it.

Q6 - What is his occupation?

A6 - She ansered it.

Than she told her that the visa will be couriered in 7 business days. So she was out by 1:15 PM.

It looks like AOS is taking the prime importance at the Consulates - particularly in India. For those that will be attending their interviews, I strongly suggest that you take a copy of tax returns if you have submitted IRS Tax Transcripts (yesterday they asked for W-2s of Ganesh during hios wife's interview). And to those that were students in the past 3 years, please take a co-sponsor set even if you are now making 100,000.

Once again I thanks all the VJers for their contribution to our succssful journey.

Yay! Congrats NavyK :dance:
