| Embassy Review : |
I reached Chennai embassy at 7.45 AM for my 9AM visa interview. My husband was waiting for me outside the embassy. I had the regular security checks and I was directed to the immigration building where lot of people were waiting. An Indian lady took my appointment letter and asked me to wait. And then, I was asked to go to a counter, where an Indian lady asked my medical report, my wedding invitation and my husband\'s tax return for the year 2009.
And then she asked the following questions:
was it arranged or love marriage?
When did you get married?
why so long time to file your visa?
And then she took my finger prints and gave me the token. After 5 - 10 mins, the visa officer called out my token number. She returned the wedding invitation.
She asked the following questions:
How did the proposal come?
How did you convince your parents? (since our\'s was love marriage)
Was he Hindu or christian?
Did you go for honeymoon?
Who sponsored your husband\'s visa?
When did he get his naturalization?
And then she asked me to flip my wedding album.
Then the Visa officer said, my visa is \"approved\" and should be getting the passport in 1 week. javascript:emoticon(' ')
Overall it took close to 2 hours including the waiting time (outside too).

*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.
