My Interview Experience

[atool 3]

Hi friends i am not a writer by profession so it might be boring 15 min for you but i thought i should post my Interview experience as i have read someones and that help me lot in mine .. So it is like this....

I was schedule for Interview on 28 Nov at 7.30 am which was rescheduled for 8.00 am but i went there at 7 am as i thought would go there for 7.30 time (mine interview was scheduled at new embassy building at BKC, mumbai what a location and what a embassy building.)

at 7.15 asked to make a line outside embassy gate for 7.30 to 8 am appointment which then they divided to non-immigrant and immigrant then want to interview call letter at hand and make us go inside the embassy premises still in garden of embassy then they allowed us inside and make us stand in line in two windows one for immi and one for non-immi they the lady behind the window took the interview call letter and enter the information and create a token for us with token number u have to remember this token no. till u get out of embassy as when ever they want you they will flash it on screen the token no.

now we went to another hall there we are checked us its smooth process i hurried but the security guard told me to relax and dont worry that's very nice then i after security check went to main hall where we have sit and wait for our no. to flash on screen and here they asked immi to go to another hall and non-immi to another hall that very nice. at least some less crowed in our hall. my no. flash on screen with window no. the lady who is local lady ask me some questions like who is my petitioner, date of marriage who are my sponsors as my AOS was submitted one year back she asked me do you have the latest i.e. 2010 W-2 (tax return) of my AOS i have read here in some forum that they want latest W-2 so i already had from my wife and his brother who is co-sponsor so i gave her that document then as i have filed my DS-230 form one year back she asked me that my Passport Police Clearance certificate is expiring on 7 december and my case could be put on hold in case visa officer want to new one to be sure that there is no case pending on me i told her i have latest PCC from local police station she told be that they dont give that much importance to that and they would required PCC from passport office and decision is on visa officer that she ( my visa officer was lady) consider it.

so my almost 3 years wait and finally to get visa on hold because of this is frustrating and shocked that they will put hold my passport but now there is no option left. This was over by 8.30 again i have to wait and was put in two mind that after three year should i get it or not. my wedding is genuine and i have never committed any crime still had to wait to meet my sweet heart. sorry i forget at this stage they took my four finger impression and my thump impression. again was asked to wait they will call me back.

time passes and i am praying that visa officer take decision on my favour there was one aunty a friendly aunty we communicate with each other and that help me to relaxed and divert my mind from negative thoughts i strongly suggest to be friendly with you near by so that will relaxed you and will help you in interview.

at first they called some people again so we did not know what is happening but then we know that its interview that they are conducting in two windows from many and this again make us nervous as we can hear the type of question they are asking and in detail they are inquiring and queries they are arising and doughts. they are taking around 20 to 25 min per immi. so this is nerve breaking then they started the third window and fourth windows so i was near to my interview screen flash 219 mine was 220 i was expecting my no. to flash on favourable window i observe is very nice but to my surprise no. flash for that window was 221 they jump mine no. and start feeling that my nightmare that my visa will be put on hold are going to come true the screen flash some other category no. and i am sure that i am not going to get my visa but then it flash mine one and to window i would given chance would avoid she just tore me apart with fast firy questions like what is the reason for marrying so late we married at 36 i gave the reason that i did not find suitable partner to get married then question about petioner work and Co-AOS where they live have own house or rented when my petioner go to america how she got the greencard who filed for them how her peitioner gone there which year my wife went there the in between keep me asking had i earlier filed for american visa, or any other country visa or last chance she took by asking me have i visited africa (still thinking why africa) she is not marry that our marriage was genuine as we have married late at 36 at this time i already lost my hope of getting approval she show my marriage album also her expression never give me impression that i got my visa and with strange impression (at that time i thought she is going to return my visa ) she told me your visa is approved and you will get your passport in few days by courier what ever her attitude is i thank her my long wait to meet my sweet heart is over this type of inquiry is part her job which i thought she did perfectly and i stood on my ground on truth she took my finger print of right hand again gave me the part of DS-230 form again to sign i asked should i sign with black or blue i got strong reply what ever colour you want to use. ( i read some where it should be sign with black pen) i forgot to write first i have to take oath with my right hand rise that i will speak the truth and i did speak the truth and got the positive result. it is boring but hope this will help you. now i am waiting for courier to receive my passport.

all the best.........

Hey atool congrats...I am happy for u.

My wife and son appeared to interview today as well...Their visa was also approved...They were not asked so many questions...Just general inquiry .But since i have become citizen 2 weeks ago.and my son is only 3 and half years old...So they asked my wife to tell me to fill form I864W for my child and send to the embassy.And as soon as they receive it,visas will be issued.So This morning i have already sent them those forms through Fedex fastest way.It should reach them this week and hopefully visas will be issued in a couple of weeks after that.

I wish u all the best in your future.May Allah SWT bless you.

thanks you ....

yeah as mention the lady raise this issue at that time but was lucky that my visa officer did not raise it and i got mine but please arrange the new police clearance certificate from passport office your passport was issued as they dont give that much credential to local police station police clearance certificate.... i would suggest that when u get interview call that one month earlier then your interview date get done the medical because there you need the passport and second day you apply at passport office to get the new PCC so you will get it in week and you can take with VFS office with you with your interview call to submit the courier fees and check your documents them also dont forget to carry at interview all the w-2 (tax returns document) all submitted after you have send to DS-230 forms they will 100% ask that
