My wife called Chennai Consulate to the Cust Serv No on their website, a very friendly lady told her that her visa interview date is Jul 20th

Thats awesome news.. Congratulations!!!

Good news!!!
Hoping for a successful interview

Congrats Citizen!!! very close now buddy! Good luck at the interview to you and your wife.

(I hope Mumbai moves this fast!)

Thank you all

one step, slowly at a time

Are you counting the days like me, citizen? I don't have an int date yet and I'm already counting the days

CONGRATULATIONS!!!!!

yep vikas, have been counting from aug 9th 06..the day we were married

Does mumbai assign intrv days for next month by 10th of the previous month?? Chennai does that

http://chennai.usconsulate.gov/appointments.html

i think Mumbai doesnt follow that rule, they assign any intrv n let u know 5-6 weeks ahead

http://mumbai.usconsulate.gov/appointment_information.html

so in my case, imagining that my case reached them after 10th of this june, i couldnt have a chance of jul, but only august




thank u genesis

Yeah, Mumbai is much slower due to the larger volume there. We're hoping for an late August/early September interview there. I'm going to India on either the first or second Friday of August to be with my wife for her interview and related proceedings. I can't wait!

Congratulations and good luck Citizen..

My case got to Delhi embassy almost a month ago and still no interview date.

I am sort of new on this...need some advices. My check cleared and waiting for NOA1. My question is about interview. Do I have to accompany my fiancee during the interview process in Bangkok, THLD.? Is that a requirement or it is something that might benefit the outcome? I live in California, USA.

Your advices are greatly appreciated,

Chai...

Lately, what I have been hearing is that there is no need to attend the interview for you and it is definitely not a requirement.

Great!!! Hope everything goes well for you

delhi embassy s***** i m fed up 2 weeks they received my packet n yet no interview date n no packet mailed to me
its rubbish i feel

I feel for you. This sucks

chai, i dont think its a req, i didnt see it in any guides..and i was under impression that petioner isnt allowed inside the consulate..but recently a VJer MrsAyilliath accompanied her fiancee to the interview
