February 2016 Interviews

[SP&MP 0]

A case compete doesn't automatically give you an interview. They could have been complete with scheduling and filled up. All you can do is wait until next go round for March. Which should start end of January 1st week in February.

Yeah.Thanks

Mumbai is one of those consulate who is very busy and they have a lot of interviews scheduled a month ahead....I believe you will get a interview for March and it will be scheduled in last week of Jan or 1st week of Feb.... Also are you a US citizen or green card holder....I am asking because US citizens are given priority over green card holders when scheduling interviews....

Ok. Thanks. Btw my wife is US citizen.

Wow... I made it! Visa granted! Actually interview was on 14th January, so sorry guys details is coming late (preggers things).

Hubby came in on 13th to join me. we woke up exactly 4:30am on Thursday morning having set an alarm. Drove off at 5:45am and got to the embassy 6:45am.

I quickly came down from the car while hubby was still looking for a place to park. There we the rolls, I knew one would be for immigrants and the other non-immigrant. I asked which was for immigrants and swapped.

We were asked to bring out our Int'l passport, interview letter and then medical report envelop should be open.

After this, I was allowed to go into a hall were documents were checked and then transferred to another section in same hall where the interview letter will be submitted. After submitting my interview letter, my name was cross checked on the list they had with them and then ticked. An entry pass was given to me. This pass allows for entry into the embassy where one will be screened again and then interviewed.

We were called in 5s, went into a screening room were I had to remove my wrist watch, drop my bag into a tray, some pulled their shoes, belts etc. All these went thru a screening machine.

After this, I walked down into another building were I was asked to press a B-button by the door, it ended up giving me a piece of paper that had a number on it and my number was B450.

Hmmm... I got into the interview hall, saw some people sitting while some were standing. I joined the queue, the guy in charge quickly called me up to come sit cos of my condition (pregnant). I got into the hall around 8:32am and at 10:45 my name was called at Window 12, where a black mama had to do document screening. She asked for my Int'l passport, the little paper given to fill out my name and address. I immediately brought out all civil docs as I learnt here on VJ and handed it over. She was like hmm...GOOD! She returned all the pictures and passport we sent to USCIS and NVC. So, I asked her if I could leave cos I was tired already and she said do you want to leave I said no, I tot you are through with me. She laughed and said don't worry I'm going to expedite your file so you can go.

Less than 10 mins, my number B450 popped up at Window 1 where a white guy was standing.

I got there, smiled and greeted him.

Me: Good Morning sir!

CO: Good Morning

CO: He raised his right hand saying... Do you swear to tell the truth and nothing but the truth.

Me: I swear to tell the truth and nothing but the truth.

CO: Take your finger print.

Me: I did.

CO: Who is ....?

Me: Smiling... Mr.. is my husband.

CO: Where did you meet?

Me: We met at ... (while he kept typing on the computer, I brought out all my documents as arranged in each folder).

CO: How long have you known each other?

Me: 20??

CO: When was the last time you saw him

Me: He's around now, he came in yesterday.

CO: Can I have your wedding pictures.

Me: I opened the first page - This is our traditional wedding pix while this is our white wedding. I opened the second page and he said that was okay by him.

CO: Is that a gift

Me: No,it's a traditional cake.

CO: I gonna issue you visa.

Me: Smiling.. thank you!

CO: You pick it up in 10 days @ this address.

CO: When are you expecting your baby?

Me: This month - EDD is next week.

CO: So you are in your 39th week.

Me: Yeah!

CO: You said your husband is around before now when was the last time you saw him

Me: October

CO: before October when was the last time you saw each other

Me: April our first wedding anniversary - that was when I took in. I knew he was asking all these cos of my pregnancy.

My interview was less than 2 mins. I give all thanks to GOD ALMIGHTY for making it a success. I won't forget to thank dwheels for her encouragement - you've been a sister and over supportive. Also, to DonT, Manent, Laddu, Rian and other VJ members for their support. I love you all!

God bless y'all!

Congrats dear! So happy it went good. You might probably get your Passport 5 business day even though VO will tell you 10 business days.

Really, thanks DonT, as at yesterday Visa Status showed "ISSUED".

Normally the status will say "Ready" but maybe call up embassy and ask if the case is there.

Hello February Interview members!!!!

Has any one used any method to track the packages from NVC to your respective embassy?

I found this but do not know if works. Any feedback will be greatly appreciated.
