I dont know about POE as my fiance and I are still waiting for NOA2 but I wanted to say congrats and thanks for posting a review on your interview, it was very helpful. My fiance and I are also an interracial couple and will be going through New Delhi Embassy. I've read some many reviews stating that is a tough embassy especially for interracial couples. It seemed kinda basic and simple for you but every case is different so I still plan on attending interview with my fiance. Its also good that you were not put into AP as the majority of cases I read have been. Once again congrats to the both of you and safe journey to the US :)

Congratulations... For POE in US, you need your passport and yellow/brown color envelope that embassy has given you.

DO NOT OPEN the envelope.

Bring all of your medical documents with you... you can use it as a baseline with your doctor in US.

Congrats!

One Question regarding visa fees.

Did you take the DD for Rs 13680 or paid fees entered the receipt numver at ustraveldoc.com/in?

Thanks a lot. yes i paid through the ustraveldocs website and it reflected the MRV reciept. Although the VFS guy did asked me that where is the DD. I told him simply that i paid through ustraveldocs website. I confirmed it from them before paying through that. So you would be good if you pay through that. please check the exchange rate before you pay through the website

Thanks you so much Deep for the information... Just one more question...Do you need any kind of income tax clearances or any Indian govt clearance before travelling or i can just buy a ticket and travel with all the documents from US embassy ??

I dont know about POE as my fiance and I are still waiting for NOA2 but I wanted to say congrats and thanks for posting a review on your interview, it was very helpful. My fiance and I are also an interracial couple and will be going through New Delhi Embassy. I've read some many reviews stating that is a tough embassy especially for interracial couples.

Its also good that you were not put into AP as the majority of cases I read have been. Once again congrats to the both of you and safe journey to the US :)

Yeah thanks for the wishes. Well yes i do agree about the same that every case is different. offcourse interviewing together is always a plus..For me i was alone at the interview but did managed to crack it :)
