Consulate Review: Mumbai, India Review Topic: IR-1/CR-1 Visa Event Description Review Date : February 20, 2018 Embassy Review : Want to give back to the amazing community of visajourney that I took so many notes from during my immigration journey. Interview was scheduled at 7.30AM. We were called to form a line and admitted inside the embassy at 7AM. Immigration and non-immigration interview sections are separate. Me and my husband were third in line for receiving token number; guy at Counter 1 took fingerprints and original civil documents. He asked some basic questions like what's your marriage date? who is with you? Has your visa ever been rejected/denied? and gave me the flier on domestic rights. We then took the token and started the nervous wait to be called at the actual interview. Pretty soon we were up and we greeted a young American CO. He first asked me who was with me..and then asked my husband to wait in the seating area away from the interview window. He asked me: When did you get married? Where? What area? What's the highest level of education of your husband? Where did he study ? What did he study? What does he ? Where does he work? He picked out two pictures from our evidence packet and asked me where they were from When did you get engaged? Love or arranged? Where did you get engaged? How much gap was there between engagement and marriage? How many people came to the wedding? show me some pictures What's your highest level of education? Explain me your timeline What's your favorite trip together? Show me some photos? When did your husband arrive? When is he flying back? Did he send all this evidence of marriage himself or his lawyer asked him to? He then explained me about my domestic abuse rights and called my husband at the interview counter and told us our visa was approved!! And that he could issue the visa today itself if we wanted to wait and collect it ourselves. We obviously did, waited for like 3hours and took our visa and left oh SO HAPPY. Our families were elated!! POE at Abu Dhabi pre-clearance facility since we flew Etihad. Not many questions at POE since me and my husband traveled together. Thank you to the visajourney community to help through this tedious, long, torturous process Rating : Very Good
