At the first entry port in US, I gave the closed envelope which was given to me with my visa in New Delhi, India VFS center on the Immigration counter.The gentleman on the counter did some Q&A, and then took me to a special room where had to wait about 20 mins while they processed my papers. Then another gentleman came out and gave me the passport back and said I am set to go. |

| Embassy Review : |
We reached embassy like 7:15 in the morning. Our interview was at 8:00. They started letting people in from 7:45am. We reached inside the embassy. My fiancee(US citizen) was allowed to come with me inside the embassy section. So first I went through the process of the finger print , from waiting in line to getting the finger print done took only about 20 mins. Then we waited for our interview for about 30 mins, when our token number was displayed on the one of interview panel. Then we went together to that window and submitted the papers.(They took only DS230, DS156: 2 separate forms, DS156K : 1 form, PCC only from passport office(they didn't take the one from the district police office), tax papers,medical report). Submitted the fee. They allow you to pay the entire fee by cash in Indian Rupee there(I asked him if they accept card, he said no). So I had the bank draft, I paid the fee via bank draft which I got from SBI bank.
Then we waited about 30 more minutes and we were called by american counselor officer to another window.
He asked us only 3 questions:
How did you 2 meet ?
He asked a question about my previous that what visa I took last time, what did I do in US on that visa and when did I come back to India.
Where do I work? ( Surprisingly he asked it to me about myself, I think he should have asked about my fiance.)
Oh . And at one point he said.. so where did you meet your husband.. So I said he is my fiancee. not husband yet. THen he said ok...so where did you meet your fiance.
And he said ok you are done !
We were like surprized ! because he didnt even see our proof like photo album, gtalk logs etc etc... !!
We were like shocked infact that we were done so quick !! I couldnt believe that I got the visa lols. |

*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.
