Hi everyone

Our visa interview experience:

Arrived at the embassy around 7am and joined the queue. At 7.30 they started calling people with 8am appointments to form a separate queue.

A pre-screen officer checked passport And directed to go through security. After that, went in to the embassy and at reception handed in the interview letter and was given the number i-901. This number is the ticket number and will be called on a large screen. By this time a lot of people with other categories were also waiting and being seen. After about ten mins at 8.10 am I was called to the counter to submit all original docs to a pre-screener and get finger prints done. I also submitted two photos.

Then I was asked to wait again until my number was called.

After waiting for about 45 mins and at 9am I was called back to the counter and this time it was the CO. Everyone was very nice and courteous. The CO asked the following questions:

When and where did you meet?

When did you physically meet for the first time ?

Where is your spouse from originally?

How long has your spouse been in the states?

What university did your spouse attend in the states?

Where is your spouse currently living?

When do you intend to travel to the states?

That was it and then she said everything looks good and that the visa has been approved.

Thank you so much everyone for the support, the advice and encouragement for this past year and a half. I know I wouldn't have been able to maintain my sanity had it not been for this family. Thank you Habel, Sbai, hope wings, Sam, susdan and everyone else that has been with me or following this journey. Good luck to everyone who is getting through this journey and I hope our paths cross some time in the future.

my husband had his interview today and ceac status started showing issued.

His interview experience in Mumbai embassy.

He arrived 45 min early. He was asked to join a separate queue of immigrant-visa applicants.

Guard at the front verified his appointment letter and walked him to go in.

He was given a token number and a lady collected his papers and was asked to wait until his number is called.

When his number was called an American officer asked him to say an oath and he was asked to provide all his papers.

Then the officer verified all papers and asked him questions.

Questions are ---

How did you both meet?

Was it an arranged marriage or love marriage?

What does she do?

Where she is residing?

What did you do before?

Where did you worked before?

When did she go to U.S.?

Is your love for her true and is it going to be same even after you get there?

May be a couple more.this is all I remember from him explaining to me.

Then the officer said "ok you are approved.you will receive visa in hand between 3-5 business days.

When I checked the ceac status later it showed issued.

God Is good.good luck to all.cant wait to see my husband.

Gob bless all.
