Reached shuttle service around 7:30 . I recommend taking executive shuttle since it leaves on time rather than taking forever and waiting for passenger and leave when it's full . Charges rs 500. You need to provide passport at the booking.
Reached embassy and foolishly I was in non immigrant que ,had to change que and was let inside . Wasn't given any token # . Had to wait almost an hour for biometrics. Then after that went in "actual"interview hall . The security man took interview letter and asked to take a seat with many other. After 5 mins I was called by name , the Pakistani man behind the window asked for passport , and medical report . Asked my contact # and asked where i would like them to send passport . Then Gave me Amex courier sheet with sticker . Again asked me hve a seat and wait begins.
Non immigrants are called by token numbers and immigrants are called with names for interview. After 15 mins my name was called .
I went to window #4 , a African American lady was sitting with a Pakistani lady standing. I was asked to take oath and African American lady asked
1- who is calling you in America ?
I replied my husband . She asked If I can understand what she says ,I said yes and she asked translator to leave.
Now questions I was asked are as below
2- is this marriage arranged ?
3-who arranged this marriage ?
4-did your parents anyone for this marriage ?
5-tell me about your first meeting with husband ?
6-how long did he stay when he came for wedding ?
7- were you married before ?
8-was he married before ?
9-do you have kids?
10-do you have family in USA ?
11-how you like being married ?
12- tell me best thing about being married to him ?
13-does he send you money ?( my answer was no)
14-then how he takes care of you ?
15-what's your fathers name ?
16-do you have any pictures ?
17- pointed at a photo is this your husband ? ( answer: no he is my brother with my dad and uncle at wedding )
18- pointed at imam zamin me and hubby were wearing at nikah and asked what are you wearing on arms ? ( answer it's a religious thing ,to prevent couple from evil eyes )
Returned all documents after question # 16. She was continuously checking papers and writing something.
She looked at me and said "well you qualify for the visa.inshAllah you will get passport in 10-12 days "
I smiled and thanked her few time and I asked if I can leave now , she smiled back and nodded, I asked won't I e getting any of these colorful papers and she said no you are good.
I thanked Allah million times . I was back by 10:30 am.
I wasn't asked for another documents . During interview make sure to make eye contact and keep answers short . Be prepared for everything as woman interviewed before me was put on ap. and above all trust Allah . If you have any queries please leave a comment on my profile .
