Hey Guys what are your status???

In my case MEDICAL DONE & DOCUMENTS SUBMITTED TO VFS!

Anum

Same here.. Medical done and Documents submitted to VFS...

I have a question.. what if DS230 submitted at VFS and NVC are not matching..

In my case I think DS230 submitted at VFS is missing telephone number in item#10.

Also I got the package 4 but its of no use because information in that packge is like interview letter and medical info etc. which I already finished.

Wife is soon going to leave for Mumbai. She is nervous (just want to be done with this), but I helped and talked to her out of nervousness as much as I can. Interview is on December 30th.

Hopefully, everything will be all right. I do want to thank all the VisaJourney members who have contributed to the forums. I have found many answers to my questions from here. It helped a lot. Thanks all.

Wife visa is approved!!!

It was very quick 5 mins interview. Just usual questions what your husband do? did you go to honeymoon? when did you first meet? How do you keep in touch (emails, phone etc.). She provided phone logs. They did not ask for any photographs of marriage. She had marriage photographs with her, though.

Total hours she spent in consulate was 2 hours. She was first in the line when she entered.

So, we are done with immigration process at consulate. Now POE is left and will be in February.
