2 weeks since CC for us. I emailed on Friday about expediting for medical reasons. I'm hoping we weren't about to get our interview and then I've actually messed us up by requesting the expedite.

No info out there about our consulate, seems Vj gets 2 people a year for Croatia about 6 months apart, so no way to really build stats.

I am the petitioner, he still lives overseas

found each other August 2009
started courting December 2010
first held hands February 2011
engaged June 2013
married May 2014
began process January 2015

Most recent update: Interviewed on 05-OCT 2015. Approved and visa in hand!!!

VISA APPROVED!!!

It was a fast process, we had all the documents that they told us to bring and we don't had any problem. On the interview, the consul asked me about when we married and how whe met, and some simplu questions that we don't had any doubt to make a fast answer.

Thanks a lot to all ofyou for helping me with the questions that i had all this time that take the entire process!!

For anyone scheduled for interview at Mumbai consulate, do you need the interview letter to bring to the biometrics and medical exam, or just the interview is sufficient?

Wondering if we can go ahead and do the medical exam without the interview letter or even case complete, does anyone know if this is possible?

If you guys have any questions specifically for me,

I will be glad to help via private message.
