Yesterday 21st June Delhi Embassy approved our Visa. It was wonderful to interview session and this time the Interviewer was very kind, gentle and she asked many questions to me and my wife. After 20 min of questions and answers, she said "I know you have been waiting for the visa since long.. You are approved" and I jumped and yelled and hugged my wife in the consulate itself saying "I M COMING HOME". We were all teary eyed and happy. Everyone in the consulate were shocked to see us celebrating this. .. I mean everyone from Interviewer to the floor security to other people waiting for interview. 

 

Finally, Bunny's Ninja or wifey's Sherpa or whatever you want to call us are getting home together. All of your prayers, love, support and help worked. 

 

Love you guys a lot. 

 

Namaste

Bunny & Ninja

During the first interview, the interviewer was cold and didn't ask me many questions. They didn't even allow my wife to be in the window. Maybe because they wanted to test our relationship.. who knows what .. but yea first experience of the interview at Delhi consulate was horrible. We were all crying in sorrow and our family and friends to were too sad. 

 

We didn't give up as we are made for each other and no age difference, culture, time zone or any other difference would not matter to us. We are and we were positive and fought back. Got our second chance and yesterday (21st June) we were in Delhi consulate.

 

All night long at 20th June, I kept on popping out of bed to check papers and I was nervous. I even went to the bathroom at consulate twice to give myself a pep talk before the interview. I was that nervous because this visa means everything to us and our family. Our interviewer this time allowed my wife to be present at Window for an interview and she asked multiple questions to me and my wife. It was a good 20 min long interview and then she said "you guys have been waiting for a visa for long. You are approved"

 

Neither my wife nor I could take that happiness without a tear. We were teary eyes hugged each other in the consulate and were screaming on top of our voice "I am coming home". It was similar situation back in America because our friends and family were waiting for our update and once they heard the good news, they too had same emotions flowing.  

 

Those who know our story, thank you guys for being there for us and sending your positive vibes and love. Those who don't know our story, Guys "True love prevails" Have faith in each other and hang in there.
