9:45 am to 10:00 am : Interview with an Indian Consular Officer at Counter 11
He had all the documents that I had submitted at the VFS Office 2 weeks ago. He said he has all the documents he needs except my Interview Letter, Medical Report and Demand Draft. I gave these to him.
He asked me:
Have you traveled / lived outside India?
Please tell me briefly, very briefly, how you met him.
What kind of a masala dosai is that? (He was looking at the photo with the 4-foot rocket masala dosai and laughed.)
He said "everything looks good, all the best" and gave me a token number for my next interview.
11:30 am : Final Interview with an American Officer at Counter 10
The officer first handed back all original documents to me along with the visa fee receipt and a brochure that said "Welcome to the US ..."!
He then asked me to take an oath that I will tell the truth / have provided the correct facts. He also took fingerprints of my both my index fingers.
Officer: What were you doing in Country V?
Me: Father worked there.
Officer: Do you understand that you have to get married within 90 days, if not you have to come back to India?
Me: Yes, I understand that.
Officer: Ok, everything is fine. Your Passport will be couriered to you within 4-5 days.
Me: Thank you.
Officer: Just so that you know, you can have only one valid US visa at any point. With K1, you will be Adjusting your status in the US. We have cancelled your existing B1/B2.
Me: Ok, thank you.
