congrats and please share your interview experience

[jameskar 1]

Visa approved :P :dance:

Sorry for the delay guyz. I had my interview on june 5th. I was late by one day to post my experience. Special thanks to Sachin and Visagrant for guiding me and replying promptly for all my questions in this journey.

Consulate: Mumbai consulate, BKC

I had my interview slot at 7:30 am. I reached consulate at 6:30 am by cab from CST (I stayed here). There was small line for immigrants when compared to non-immigrants. This pre-formed line is not the queue maintained by consulate people. But if u want ur visa to get finished early, u need to be in that queue. My mother is the principal applicant and I am the derivative beneficiary.

Prescreening room: it was just an initial check for the baggage and document folders. After this I was given a token in other room for which I have to monitor the screen for the token number to appear.

Once my token is called, we were called to window No:6. we were wasked these questions

Officer: who petitioned u?

me: told

Officer: when and how did he get to USA?

me: told

Officer: When will ur father(other derivative beneficiary)) join u in USA?

me: after 2 years and he has some obligations here.

Officer: these are the papers on which we require ur signature for further procsing (one is abt joining in military and one is a document stating something (not important))

Me: Signed the docs

Officer: Can u submit a photo of ur father and marriage certi of ur father and mother

Me: given

Officer: Submit 2011 tax returns of petitioner

Me: given

Officer: Take ur seat and wait for the next call

We were called by an American lady : visa officer…

VO: who petitioned and how and when did he reach USA ?

me: told

VO: whe was ur petitioner’s last visit to India

me: told

VO: show some pictures of ur relationship

Me: here they are

VO: Show me the petitioner’s photo to identify him In the pictures

Me: shown old Indian passport of my petitioner

VO: Why did he visit India ?

Me: told

VO: ur visa is approved and it will be couriered to u in 3-4 days and enjoy ur time at USA

Me: thank you

Stay cool and keep ur documents perfect and answer them promptly. U are entitled to get the visa. I got it finished in 4 hrs and actual interview was just for 3mins by the visa officer.

Thanks again to everyone :)

@jameskar

that's great news man.... :dance:

and as i told you before , they don't ask too many questions.

and it is strange that at 6.30 ,the small queue was already formed...!!!

now i will go to consulate at 6.15 when i will get my visa call letter.

and i also told you to carry pictures with petitioner., see, CO ask you for that...

and you signed documents of military , that you have to submit at near by post office in usa ,once you go there...

and plz tell me when the vfs couriered the "brown envelopes and passport " to you...generally they deliver in 2 days.

and i have a qun for you, how many photographs did you carry ? i have made 2 albums...i think it will be sufficient .

btw....enjoy , hope i will get my immigrant visa soon ,coz waiting sucks

have a gr8 life in states.

You can ask for the Interpreter at the time of the interview..

There is no general rule and as such the entire F4 process takes 10yrs and above..it is better to include some old photos too..it will make your visa approval easier..

congrats and please share your interview experience

28 May I sent email to NVC with content:

"...My case is now available according to the Visa Bulletin of 2001. However, I have not received any appointment letter. Thus, I would be grateful to you for scheduling an appointment for me as soon as possible if it is not yet scheduled or informing me of the date of my appointment if my name is already on the interview list..."

and 2 days ago (5 Jun) I received email from NVC:

"...An immigrant visa interview appointment has been scheduled for the

applicant at the U.S. Embassy or Consulate General in HO CHI MINH CITY

on 26-JUL-2012 at 09:00..."

Good luck All!
