Praaaaaaaise the Lord,I was approved,Dwheels God will surely reward u for ur assistance and advice for me it was like a piece of cake,of all the docs I was asked to bring that NPC (birth cert)stuff,.pickn up visa next week.Pls Rejoice with me,it was indeed a journey and a very long one at that.

pls how do I go about the USCIS payment, should I pay now or after collecting ma visa.

Am happyyyy.

I am praising God with you. Great news. Congratulations. And thank you for the kind words.

You can't pay until you pick up Visa because you will need that number. Then you can log into ELIS anytime before POE or you can wait after you get to US its up to you.

Here is the link to the ELIS.

Hi -

I am in the NVC processing stage but wanted to inquire regarding the interview process.

My wife will be assigned to either Mumbai or Delhi embassy for her interview. If I make a trip to India to be with her during the interview process, will I be allowed to enter the embassy? Will I be interviewed along with her?

Many thanks.

Thanks for quick response!

Another question. Is it helpful to be present at the interview? I have heard that few interview questions are really specific and my spouse and I may not come up with the same answer :)

You may not be allowed into the interview area itself (those familiar with how things work at the Embassy in New Delhi or the Consulate in Mumbai can chime in here). In the general sense, if you are not allowed into the area itself, it is helpful to be on the premises or nearby the premises if for no other reason, to support your spouse.

Mumbai consulate will not let you in. Only your spouse will be able to get inside and you will have to wait outside.

I will not let anyone walk through my mind with their dirty feet.

Interview in Montreal tomorrow! Biting my nails for my husband x___x Im worried about fees because I keep reading that they may ask for you to pay some at the consulate itself. Our interview letter says everything is paid though. Sending my husband with his bank card just in case. Went through all his papers tonight and hes all ready to go. 10am . Keeps us in your thoughts please <3

Hi -

I am in the NVC processing stage but wanted to inquire regarding the interview process.

My wife will be assigned to either Mumbai or Delhi embassy for her interview. If I make a trip to India to be with her during the interview process, will I be allowed to enter the embassy? Will I be interviewed along with her?

Many thanks.
