Hi everyone!!

I had my interview today at Mumbai embassy. So happy to inform that my visa was approved!! 

Questions asked were very simple but it was like a rapid fire round 😄

1. Who is calling you ? 

2. How did you two meet? 

3. Was this arranged or love marriage? 

4. Who arranged it for you ? 

5. When did you two meet ? Explain the timeline 

6. What does your husband do for a living ? 

7. What does he do in his free time? 

8. What are your plans after reaching USA? 

9. Have you been for your honeymoon? Where did you go? 

10. What do you like about your husband? 

11. What kind of food does your husband love to eat? 

12. Have you been to USA before ? 

 

She asked for wedding album and pictures from our honeymoon. She asked me to identify one person she pointed out from the album. 

 

That's it and she said the golden words!! Congratulations your Visa is approved!!!

 

She did not ask for any call logs, chat logs, financial documents from me. But it's advisable that you should take them along with you 

 

My interview was at 7.30am. I had reached by 6.30am. They started calling all the immigrant visa applicants at 6.50am itself and asked us to form a line. The security checked the passport and the interview appointment letter. After getting inside they asked to arrange the following documents 

1. DS 260 ( the one stamped at the VAC appointment ) 

2. Marriage certificate and a copy 

3. Police clearance original 

4. Medical reports ( just take the white colored sealed envelope. You donot need to carry the CD given along with the reports) 

5. Birth certificate and a copy 

6. Two photographs USA VISA size .. 

 

 

First an Indian officer checked all the documents and asked some questions like who is calling you ? , Have you been to USA before? Have you visited any other county? 

A token number is give to you and asked to wait for the final interview. 

 

Luckily my number was called second and I was done with my interview by  8.30am. It was pretty fast for me. People are randomly called for final interview. There is no sequence followed. It might even take 3-4 hrs for the entire process.  

 

Good luck to everyone who are waiting for their IL and to those whose interviews are lined up. Just be confident and trust yourself.  

 

Thank you everyone on the VJ community. Everyone have been of great help here. 

 

Good luck! 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Congratulations! So happy for you! My interview was similar to yours. The CO kept firing questions. Book your flight jaaldi right after you get your passport back with the visa!!! 😁

VAC is the biometrics appointment you need to book before the interview and after receiving the IL.

Is something going on with Ghana?..today is 10 days and the dhl said our passport hasn't been sent by the embassy yet but it says issues in ceac as is June 3rd🤔

They are not scheduling interviews and they aren’t mailing issued passports too! This is so frustrating! 

A friend says it took 3 weeks before he got his passport from them! 🙁🙁🙁

Thank you! this is what they call fingerprinting? you typically do this the day before the interview correct? You also have to set this appointment up as well correct?

VAC stands for Visa Application Center. You have to take a copy of the DS 260 confirmation page which is stamped when you go for the biometrics and you have to submit that at the interview usually during the pre screening.

Yes they take your fingerprints and photograph. You can schedule this appointment anytime after receiving the IL but before the interview. Not necessarily a day before the interview. Ones you receive your IL it will have instructions to schedule the VAC appointment. You can choose any date which is available and convenient to you .
