Hi,

My CR1 interview was on 7th November and I got APPROVED!!!

I reached the Embassy by 6.40am and there were many people already waiting. At 6.50am 2 persons came from Embassy and asked us to form 2 seperate lines (Immigration and Non-Immigration).

I was 7th in the line and then they asked us to move in the embassy. First comes the security check, any types of bags are also not allowed only plastic bags are allowed in which you can keep our folders, etc. Then you move ahead and they give you a token number. Then you wait for your token number to be displayed on the monitor.

The first interview was taken by the Indian officer. He asked for my birth & marraige certificate copies and asked few basic questions like...what does my husband do, is this my and my husband's first marraige, etc

Then he asked me to wait and after 45 mins or so my token number was again displayed and this interview was with an American lady. She asked me few questions like when did i lsat see my husband, when we got married, where did we go for honeymoon, where did we stay, what does he do, etc. Then she asked me to provide joint sponsor as the income on 2011 tax return was less. So i gave my husband's CPA's letter where it was mentioned the earning of my husband and I gave the explanation that my husband is self employed as property developer and in 2011 he was developing a property and all the earnings were used in developing the property. She made a note of everything and said that I accept your explanation followed by - Congratulation!! Your visa is approved and you will get your passport in a week.

I came out and towards the exit there a premium service desk where I paid Rs 300 so I can get the passport delivered at my home instead of picking it up. The interview was very easy and simple and I was out of the Embassy by 9.10am.

Today (right now), when I track the passport staus by sending an email to passportstatus@ustraveldocs.com it says - The current status of your passport is In Transit From Post.

So I assume that the passport is dispatched from the Embassy and its on its way from Mumbai to Ahmedabad. I hope to receive it tomorrow. Will update my timeline once I receive my visa.

KPatel Very congrats to u for ur Visa Approval....However can u please answer me question regarding the status of ur passport...???

As u mentioned u send email at passportstatus@ustraveldocs.com to track ur passport, but as far as we know we simply have to mention our passport number on USTraveldocs website and we can know the status of our passport. Then why did u emailed to know the status of ur passport and after u mailed them within how much time did u received the reply from ustraveldocs website...????

Also, i which language did u gave ur Interview...Eng or Gujarati...???? Did u choose ur Interview language when u registered on ustraveldocs website or during initial screening vfs guys asked u to select ur interview language...??? Do they ask for conformation page of our registration for document delivery address or not...????
