Do you think it has anything to do with monsoon season?

 

Don’t know...but it’s not looking good for now...last month Mumbai rolled pretty good around May09...this month it’s silence as Lamb.

A drought during monsoon season... oh the irony 😅

I've heard from colleagues in Mumbai that they're not in the path, but I'm sure the rain is keeping people from risking the drive/traffic.

Hi all, 

 

Is there anyone stuck in Administrative Processing??

My husband has taken interview on May 31, 2019 and they gave 221g. 

We submitted all the paperwork and since then it shows AP. 

The date has changed twice but the status remains same i.e. your case is under administrative processing. 

 

Anyone in the same boat??

Unfortunately, AP is very open-ended and it's really hard to know/predict when one will be out of AP. Good luck; hopefully you hear something sooner.

Hi

if 221 G was given for Joint sponsor ...then it would not take that long ..if u satisfied the requirements..but if the 221 was for more evidence for relationship...then it may take longer..good luck..

It's going to be delayed to next week, but rest assured the flood is coming.

Employment based visas are normally given dates first and last month they gave it on the 2nd and this month they gave it on the 7th. So family based is also delayed by a few days.

Are you saying consulates prioritize EB green cards?

Just got off the phone with NVC. HERS WHAT WAS said...

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! 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

@apanch

Did they give you an estimate of when and where we can pick up the passports with the visa?

Where did you specify where the passport will be delivered? At the interview?

 

Thanks!
