Hi All,
I am writing as much details as I can about my wife's CR1 visa experience today in Chennai, india. Even though her interview is scheduled at 1PM today they allowed her inside the consulate at 12PM. Security guards checked her interview letter and the folders that she was carrying. Please do not carry any electronic items such as cell phones, flash drives e.t.c but you are allowed to carry PEN,PENCIL and you can also wear watch. They also stamped on every folder as part of security regulations. Once she went inside, she waited for almost 45 minutes. One male Indian officer asked my wife's medical report. He also asked my Year 2010 W2, however my wife doesn't have that and she said she only has Year 2010 tax returns and tax transcript and he accepted it. After this they asked my wife to be seated and wait for the next call.
After 1 hour, she was called again and consular officer took finger prints of her and have her sign DS 230 PART II. At the same time they returned my wife's civil documents such as ORIGINAL BIRTH CERTIFICATE and ORIGINAL MARRIAGE CERTIFICATE. After this they asked my wife to be seated again. After an hour my wife called by Consular Officer for final interview. Below are the questions they asked her.
1. How did you meet your husband
2. What is your wedding date
3. After wedding how many days your husband stayed with you?
4. Did he visit you after he went back to US?
5. Have you been to any other countries before?
That's all and then the final magical words from CO, "Congrats! Your visa is approved and we will mail your passport within 7 business days. My wife carried tons of evidences such as wedding pictures, call history e.t.c but they did not ask anything but I advise everyone to carry tons of evidence just in case because you never know.
