My wife just finished the interview

First I have baby born after case completed so, the interview letter was only for my wife but she must go with the baby

Appointment was at 7:30 AM:

The Consular asked her to pay $325 for the baby and she told her also to go office outside and fill another DS230 for the baby. Then She took my wife and baby passports. She was very nice with her and she was joking too :)

Thanks God

I hope they get the visa quickly :)

They would get the visa, this a different AP, as soon as the documents are received by a Embassy the fees for the baby and DS260 form, the Embassy would issue the visa. Do not panic, it is over already. All the very best.

I forgot to mention that they need AOS form again since baby born

Do now I have to fill I-864

The consular said once we received the document you will get the visa after 10 days

I hope we get it not more than what he said.

What is your Case status in CEAC

Good luck Dordor :)

Hey guys. Just wanted to let you know that I got my visa approved today.

Thank You, all the best in your coming interview

Congratulations Dorder,

My wife will have the interview in couple of hours

Pray for me[/quote

I would definitely say a prayer. I know she has already been approved, think positive, having a baby makes your case stronger. I shall be waiting to congratulate you, just a few hrs from now. Relax and get ready to receive the good news. This is the easiest part of the process.

Hey guys,

Is mobile phone allowed to be carried inside the interview hall ? I mean be it switched off I dont mind. The problem is I dont have any relative in the city where my interview is scheduled. So I cannot handover mobile phone to anyone and hotel is not the best place to keep your belongings.

They have mentioned in their website that they dont allow mobile phones, belt or any electronic gadgets inside.

So were you forbidden to carry any of the things ?

In Mumbai consulate they are very strict with their rules because of security concerns. I would suggest you to follow the do & don't mentioned in the document.

Do you think they will accept it or they will come back asking for original?

They would definitely come back asking for original, affidavit of support form must be original, they can only accept a copy if you had already sent the original, which in this case, this is a new AOS form, Samantha2015 or anyone can please explain further. The earlier you send it across the earlier you get your visas. My apologies for this setback, as soon as you send it the documents, everything would fall in place. Good luck.

I mailed the original form yesterday straight to the US Embassy and they will receive it next week.

Let us know when you get the visa :)
