Hello everyone :)

:dance::dance:MY HUBBY GOT THE VISA and we are flying back on June 8th. :dance::dance:

Sorry for sharing this happy news so late with you all, as I just didnt get a chance to get on the net.. at all.

For those interested: here are the Interview details

My husband had his interview on May 24th at the New Delhi Embassy. I flew to india to join him. We spent one day before the Interview shopping and dining to destress ourselves. I had 200 printed questions, and we both went over them together (the questions are really easy and intuitive if you already know everything about your spouse, so we didnt need any preparation) We left our hotel room at 6:30 am and reached the embassy at 7:00 am. They were quite a lot of people waiting outside and sitting on the grass and pavements.... As we had another 45 minutes before we went in, we went to a nearby shop to have some morning tea. We came back to the Embassy at 7:40 and stood in line. There were about 100 people in line. slowly slowly the line moved and we went in. We were the first CR1-interview couple in line and also the first one to interview. We handed over the interview letter to the "Consular assistant" and went and sat in the waiting room. After about 20 minutes, my hubby's name was called. We took all our documents to Window # 15. An indian guy started giving us all our documents back that we had submitted to the VFS. He was pretty cool and friendly.

Questions he asked:

1. what is your marriage date?

2. is this is your first marriage?

3. do you have the medical report?

4. do you have any other documents like (school certificates) where you Date of Birth is listed?

(My hubby is punjabi but was born and raised in Karnataka, he is very fluent in Kannada + punjabi + hindi + english) The guy who was quering us was very impressed with how many languages my husband could converse in. Then he handed back all the documents and told us to go back and wait until our name is called again.

We waited for about 90 minutes until our name was called again at window # 15. This time it was the FINAL INTERVIEW.

We went to the window and saw a very young white guy sitting. He greeted us with a great smile and said "Good morning, how are you?" "Is that your wife?". My hubby said, "YES".

questions he asked:

1. when did you get married?

2. was it an arranged or love marriage?

3. what will be your occupation in USA?

He only asked 3 questions and said, "its that easy, you are approved" :lol::lol:

He told us that we dont have to pay any fees and the visa will be mailed to us.

we left the embassy in another 5 minutes and started calling everyone to share the good news.

The next day, I called the VFS to confirm if they received the passport with stamped VISA and they said - YES.

sO, here's the final story....... God has really helped us and we both thank him for EVERYTHING.

Good luck to everyone who are still waiting. :thumbs:
