9:45 am to 10:00 am : Interview with an Indian Consular Officer at Counter 11

He had all the documents that I had submitted at the VFS Office 2 weeks ago. He said he has all the documents he needs except my Interview Letter, Medical Report and Demand Draft. I gave these to him.

He asked me:

Have you traveled / lived outside India?
Please tell me briefly, very briefly, how you met him.
What kind of a masala dosai is that? (He was looking at the photo with the 4-foot rocket masala dosai and laughed.)

He said "everything looks good, all the best" and gave me a token number for my next interview.


11:30 am : Final Interview with an American Officer at Counter 10

The officer first handed back all original documents to me along with the visa fee receipt and a brochure that said "Welcome to the US ..."!

He then asked me to take an oath that I will tell the truth / have provided the correct facts. He also took fingerprints of my both my index fingers.

Officer: What were you doing in Country V?
Me: Father worked there.
Officer: Do you understand that you have to get married within 90 days, if not you have to come back to India?
Me: Yes, I understand that.
Officer: Ok, everything is fine. Your Passport will be couriered to you within 4-5 days.
Me: Thank you.
