Basically, it is very similar interview to the other members in the past.

She was taken inside around 7:30 and took her fingerprints.

-She was called for the first interview with an Indian officer. He asked her that you are very young to married. She told him that I am 21 and he laughed and said so you were waiting to be 21 to be married. He asked her about what I do and when we got married. She was then told that an american officer will interview her next but its going to be a while.

-She was called for the second interview and it was pretty straight forward. He asked her what I did for living, how we met, when we got married, where we got married, how many days I stayed after the marriage, did I go to visit her again, asked to show photos of when I went to see her, asked who all attended from my side from the US, who all lived with me. He then told her that her visa is approved and we will courier the passport within 2 days. She asked about picking up the same day but he told her it won't be ready and we will courier to you. She agreed and walked out.
