Consulate Review: Mumbai, India

| Review Date : |
June 13, 2008 |
| Embassy Review : |
It was pretty straight forward. I was questioned again and again why I choose to marry someone else other than my clan(my husband is from South India and me being from Gujarat).
I was fingerprinted after clearing my interview. Also, I had to request for the passport to be dellivered on same day. |

*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.
