Consulate Review: Mumbai, India
Review Topic: K1 Visa
Event Description
Review Date : November 19, 2019
Embassy Review : i had my interview on 15 nov.
we left from hotel at around 6.30 am , as our time was 7.15 am. there would be a long queue , it includes all categories of immigrant visa. you cannot take any electronic item inside and no CD from medical. we had nothing just a small bag with water bottle and some food and papers. i would suggest not to carry phones unless you really need it after interview , they will ask you to submit in a police van standing outside the embassy for rs 150. will go through security , similar like at airports . then go directly to waiting hall. some indian guys will help you to arrange the papers and then you get a token number.
now sit down for like 1 hour. after that your number will be on screen and you go to window and their an indian agent will ask for your papers and few basic questions. now sit down again and wait. again your token number will flash and an American officer will take your interview. no chairs , you have to stand at window.

me and my American fiance was there . he asked her to sit and wait.
he started with this:
1 . so how you guys met?
2. when did you first met in person and what all you did together
3. why not marrying in india
4. what do i do ?
5. applied for a visa before? asked twice
6. what are common interests
7. what are plans for wedding
8. where she works
9. what are my plans for work ?


after like 15 mins of questioning , he said you are approved.



points to note:

1. do not carry any electronic items ,
2.carry all documents carefully , focus on photos , proofs , etc
3.dress properly
4. keep smiling , just smile whatever they ask.lol
5. would take around 3 hrs
6. mostly hotel in Mumbai require a marriage certificate for couples so act accordingly

for any other questions , can send me text

Did u call NVC to get your case number? I have been calling them but they say they still haven’t received my file from USCIS...Any suggestions?
blank avatar Rohitla on 2019-09-26 said:
i think this week they received cases till 27 or 28 , yours is 29 , so maybe on Monday..it varies a little bit ,, few people from 27 even haven't received ,,just wait a little bit..you will receive shortly..its just a matter for few days difference..
blank avatar Rohitla on 2019-09-26 said:
yes i called them by phone
blank avatar GSKhanuja on 2019-09-26 said:
Ok...yours was also approved on 29th August?
blank avatar Rohitla on 2019-09-26 said:
yeah on paper it was written 28
blank avatar GSKhanuja on 2019-09-26 said:
Ok...for mine it was written 29th August. I think its better to wait until the mid of next week to get the case number from NVC. Just one more question for you is that how do u know that your case will be dispatched fromNVC to embassy on Oct 1st? Did the NVC inform you about that or is it an estimate?
blank avatar Rohitla on 2019-09-26 said:
they do the shipment on every alternative Tuesday . so next shipment will be on 1 oct . after that 15 oct. i hope you will make for 15 oct shipment.
blank avatar GSKhanuja on 2019-09-26 said:
Yes lets hope for the best

Guys any comments on the new health insurance rule which is going applicable Nov 3rd? Do we need to buy any insurance policy in advance?
blank avatar Rohitla on 2019-10-11 said:
no clarification on that yet..seems we need to ask the embassy , what they gonna suggest
blank avatar GSKhanuja on 2019-10-11 said:
Yes that rule has nothing clearly stated. Did u get anything back from the embassy if they received your package?
blank avatar Rohitla on 2019-10-11 said:
not yet,, waiting for it
blank avatar BKS on 2019-11-02 said:
Have you received any email notification from the Consulate regarding your package? was there a problem getting your medical done without the interview letter from Consulate?
blank avatar GSKhanuja on 2019-11-02 said:
@bks I have the same question the vj members
blank avatar Rohitla on 2019-11-02 said:

nothing is required for pcc..fill online form..pay fee and it will be done... purpose is immigration i guess..
blank avatar Ashu25 on 2019-12-01 said:
Thank You. I will take PCC appointment now. There are couple of queries for DS160 form and submission I have a B1/B2 visa and had applied for the same in April 2019 from my company, so the old account exists and i may have to continue with the same. After i login i can update my profile so i will update my personal email - earlier it was company email id. I’m assuming that the old email address is just a username at this point and doesn’t have any relevance. Correct? But i see the DS160 form as the older one, Now if i fill the new form will it automatically take the new form number or i may have to enter the same manually ? will it be okay ? We just don’t want to submit the application and have the old number mess anything up. Please advise on this. If this is confusing. And what did you select for PERSON /ENTITY paying for your trip ? Should I mention my current organisation details , as i am on notice period in my firm and will be not working at the time of interview?
blank avatar Rohitla on 2019-12-01 said:
i think the cgi account will be same ..yes username doesn't matter ..just update the profile in account.. you can enter the new ds 160 number manually , also you can enter your case no from NVC..both works.. select whosoever is paying for your tickets and all.. either yourself or your fiance.. fill all the details true on the day of filling the form..if you are working on the day of filling the form , then yes fill the details...

Individual results may vary as every case is not always 'average'. Past performance does not necessarily
