| Embassy Review : |
The Indian staff at the delhi embassy who do the pre-interview are just nuts. The disregard what NVC considers as a sufficient document and have their own document requirements, e.g. on the I-864, they want W2 even though NVC encourages to provide IRS tax transcripts instead.
Luckily, I had read another interview review on VJ and I had provided my W2s to my wife.
Also, on the DS-230 form, where they say fill the address to receive green card, only if different from the address you plan to live. She have put "same" but the Indian employees made her fill it again. Cant they even follow the instructions provided by their own employer, Dept of State.
Moreover, these Indian employees at the embassy are very rude, arrogant and snobby. They think that they have all the power in the world to issue visas to poor desperate people. Shame on the Indians.
The American staff on other hand is very courteous, kind and helpful.
The visa got issued the same day and was mailed to my wife the next day, via next day express mail.

*Notice about estimates: The estimates are based off averages of other members recent experiences
(documented in their timelines) for the same benefit/petition/application at the same filing location.
Individual results may vary as every case is not always 'average'. Past performance does not necessarily
predict future results. The 'as early as date' may change over time based on current reported processing
times from members. There have historically been cases where a benefit/petition/application processing
briefly slows down or stops and this can not be predicted. Use these dates as reference only and do not
rely on them for planning. As always you should check the
USCIS processing times to see if your application
is past due.
