hi, this is neetu, rajee's wife. May be some of u know him. My husband is the regular member of this site . yesterday, 16july i had my interview. It was an easy going interview.

i reached there at 6:30 but they started the entry at 7:15.

first step : I was told to queue up where they took my finger printes around 7:20, then the interviewer told me to provide him with one pic which he matched with the photo of DS-230 form and then he returned me the photo . They did not ask for the photo as my husband rajee had already submitted my photos at NVC (U.S.A)and then i was told to wait.

second step: I was called for the first round of interview around 8:15 where the interviewer asked me the following questions - who is calling u to US?, what is ur husband doing? , what r u doing?, where is ur local police station report(which i didn't require to subimt as i have a newly issued passoprt). The interviewer was a joval preson, so he smiled and didn't ask me anymore questions and returned me the orgianls which we submitted at NVC and then again i was told to wait.

third step : I was called for the second and the last round of the interview around 9:30 and the interviewer told me to pledge and told me to sign DS-230 form . He asked me the following questions- when and where did u meet ur husband?, how many people attended the wedding?, how many relatives came from US?, have u evry visted aborad and when, was it an arrange or love marriage.

My husband already submitted all the proofs at NVC, so the interview was vey basic and genral and they didn't see my marrige pics or other proofs. They didn't ask for any photocopies also.

pls feel free to ask any questions.

hi, this is neetu, rajee's wife. May be some of u know him. My husband is the regular member of this site . yesterday, 16july i had my interview. It was an easy going interview.

i reached there at 6:30 but they started the entry at 7:15.

first step : I was told to queue up where they took my finger printes around 7:20, then the interviewer told me to provide him with one pic which he matched with the photo of DS-230 form and then he returned me the photo . They did not ask for the photo as my husband rajee had already submitted my photos at NVC (U.S.A)and then i was told to wait.

second step: I was called for the first round of interview around 8:15 where the interviewer asked me the following questions - who is calling u to US?, what is ur husband doing? , what r u doing?, where is ur local police station report(which i didn't require to subimt as i have a newly issued passoprt). The interviewer was a joval preson, so he smiled and didn't ask me anymore questions and returned me the orgianls which we submitted at NVC and then again i was told to wait.

third step : I was called for the second and the last round of the interview around 9:30 and the interviewer told me to pledge and told me to sign DS-230 form . He asked me the following questions- when and where did u meet ur husband?, how many people attended the wedding?, how many relatives came from US?, have u evry visted aborad and when, was it an arrange or love marriage.

My husband already submitted all the proofs at NVC, so the interview was vey basic and genral and they didn't see my marrige pics or other proofs. They didn't ask for any photocopies also.

pls feel free to ask any questions.
