Had to resend a fresh copy by Federal Express. Now six months later I get an RFE on the same package but the I-130 has been approved. The RFE stated I did not fill out a box and left it blank, I checked my copy of the orignal submission and found I filled everything out properly...sent a letter and filled out the RFE as additional insurance. RFE approved within three days. NVC received package sent me leter that all documents would be at the consulate in one week, one month later they finally released the documents to the consulate, in this month they would not tell me anything about what was happening, no timelines, no explanations. Now papers are at the consulate. Everything is now complete and the visa will be issued next week adn my wife will come to America in three weeks. | 2009-07-28 |

The interview went well. there were about 12 other IV applicants that day. Everyone was grilled, first by an Indian officer and then by the American visa officer. On an average, the grilling was about 45 minutes per applicant. I was there with my wife at the time her interview. I don't know if that was reason, but my wife was not grilled at all. She was granted a counter visa. Co-incidentally, none of the other applicants had the petitioner with them. Any way, we were glad that we got the visa. we are now waiting to pick up her passport from the VFS office in Chennai. It seems that Chennai consulate takes about 3 working days (for IV category only) after the interview to affix the visa on the passport and send it to VFS. | 2010-02-13 | ||||||
