here is some info..

intrv was at 9AM, she went inside at 8 AM

she came out at 1.10PM, 2.40 AM my time here :blink:

was fully tensed why the interview took that long..luckyly she called me @2.45AM and told the good news.

seems the interview lasted 1-2 mins, finally she was said u are approved, and they handed her the original documents(that were submitted at VFS) (shall update you what questions and documents she was asked in that 1-2 mins gap, i too dont know as of now)

seems she asked the officer if she can pick her passport in the evening, but he replied that once they "hand over to VFS, they dont have answer, so please talk to them"

there were lots of kids(K4?) and many elderly people, they were given first preference, and she was called at the very last min

slept at 3AM, couldnt talk to her because of traffic and sounds (and she was in a hurry to go to VFS office ), by the time i woke up, she was already in a train, lost signal..

thank you all for ur wishes and prayers....wish u all the best of luck in your interviews and future steps

Your Chennai interview story sounds like mine, i.e., staying up all night waiting for the news, then loud streets and car honking but getting the good news, then not getting details for a day or two later due to no cell signal! :wacko:

Anyway PHEW it is over and soon you will be together in USA! Best wishes and write the details when you get them! (Later you can also see whether any updates are needed on the Embassy Info page.)

More updates!

she was called at 9 Am to a window, an indian lady asked for the medicals, and asked the below questions

1) how did u meet him (family members)

2) is it first marriage for both u (yes)

3) where does he work (my client name)

thats it, but the lady wrote down all the answer my wife told on a sheet of paper.

she gave her a token no and asked her to have a seat to be called

after 5 hours! (yep, as i told u they took care of the children and elderly ppl), she was called to a window, an american this time, was very helpful, cos, he didnt ask anything, just said these few good words "everything looks correct and sufficient, ur visa and passport shall be mailed to you" and he has the same sheet of answers the indian lady has taken from my wife, in front of him

my wife said thank you sir, to which he replied that its his duty..

she asked if she can pick her passport from the consulate itself, to which he replied "please enquire with VFS, once done, we dont have a answer regds their delivery times"

again and again, thank u all, started this journey from Dec 06 (infact apr 06 from filing my citizenship)...and its u who were behind all this, ur support and blessings cant be measured..

BUT, have a question, i think or heard that they give a sealed cover or something to carry to the port of entry??, didnt hear anything from her regds this, as again she is still in the train..?

is it just the passport with visa stamped ??

That's OK always happy to help! :lol:

The sealed "mysterious brown cover" (it actually contains our original I-129F petition and other paperwork) will be sent inside the courier package containing the passport stamped with visa. The brown cover will be labeled something like "DO NOT OPEN". The cover should be carried (UNOPENED OF COURSE!) with hand baggage when coming to USA, and handed over at the POE when requested.

The paperwork in the brown cover probably is sent to some main office in USA and matched up with our AOS petition, I'm guessing.
