Consulate Review: Chennai, India

| Embassy Review : |
The following review is for my wife who had her interview @ the US Consulate in Chennai.
She got to the consulate at 8:15am for her interview scheduled at 9am. Going through initial security, they went through all the documents that were being brought into the consulate. I had sent my sealed employer letter (given to me as such), and since it was sealed, they asked her to step outside and open the letter and place it with the rest of the documents. Once inside, she was directed to another building for immigrant visas. Once there, an individual asked her for her interview letter and then asked her to have a seat. When her name was called, she went to the counter and was asked when the wedding was, and wanted to see the picture of the wedding "ritual", and took the wedding invitation. She was asked to be seated and was then called to be finger printed. She was asked to take a seat again and was told to wait until she was called for the interview. She was called for the interview and the CO was very friendly. He asked when the wedding took place, what I did for a living, where I worked, how long it's been since I've been working @ my current job, if I was living alone; told her Texas was not so humid, also asked her if she's been out of the country, asked her what her parents did, where she was living in India, when I became a US Citizen, if the wedding was arranged or if it was a love marriage, how the proposal came, and how I came to the US. All in all, the CO was very friendly and made feel at ease throughout the entire process. She was then told her visa is approved   . She asked if she could pick up her visa and the CO gave her VFS's number and asked her to contact them. She left the interview seat but was called back as they had forgotten to give her the original documents back. She collected it and was on her way .....
Hope this helps... Good luck to all |

*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.
