Qatar Airways is one of the best, I love flying with them when I can. Very good airline, too bad all their rates are a LOT more expensive when you buy from Qatar! So we're back.....AND APPROVED!! YAA

No i got a crankly broad.... Sigh. I'll just wait for the email. She did say probably in the beginning of May for a June interview. At least with her annoying voice came some sort of information. I almost hung up on her.

Trying hard not to become cranky and bitter but gosh... AP can really get to a person.

Really I am super excited for all the interviews rolling in and I pray the approvals do too. It seems our members who are active around here are having good results!

Same day for most of us that I've seen.

I love this part of the month, when interviews start rolling in and everybody from the previous month comes in to report good news. Totally ups my spirits. ^_^

I had my CR-1 visa interview on the 24th and the visa has been approved. Total time i spent inside the consulate was 1 hour. I was not asked for any tax documents. The CO asked very few questions and asked for wedding pictures, he just glanced through the pictures quickly and had no questions. Once he handed me a sheet of paper which had instructions to pay the additional immigrant visa fee of $165 which I was told, will be given only after the visa is approved, i was still not sure if my interview was over and i am approved. Only when the officer wished me " Have a good life in America" i realised that visa has been approved. I still asked the VFS lady who was walking around " Is that all?" .She then said, yes and i can leave and if i need the passport to be couriered to my home address i need to register by paying Rs.300 at the exit gate, which i did and left.

After all the wait and the eager moments spent for approvals and dates in the past 9 months, finally this journey is over and i thank all the members of visa journey who has given continuous support and guidance during this journey. I wish Good Luck to all who are still in this journey and i wish they all reach their destinations and i hope the journey is less stressful to all of you.
