Hi all,

The Mumbai consulate office has received my documents, I have also created my profile on UStraveldocs.com and I will be making the payment soon and process further.

The question is that there is an option that says schedule your interview does that mean I can chose the date of my choice or the consulate will give me the date?

Thanks for your help.

Regards

after you pay, the website will let you choose from a limited amount of days available. when we scheduled ours, the first available date mentioned on the left side of the screen was not accurate and we got a date 2 weeks out. the ofc appointments are plenty and youll probably be able to get one for the next day. :)

Wow great, I will make the payment in a day or so but I want a date for say Mid Dec-13 as I have a wedding to attend where I may have to travel, can that be done cause it is almost a month after making payment

Although my petition will expire like end of Dec-13 so mid Dec-13 will be a few weeks before the expiry, thoughts?

Thanks for your help.

The whole process of K1 changed in India starting on October 7th. Now, you no longer receive any packet nor you need to submit anything UNTIL you receive your interview letter. While waiting, what we have done was to go ahead and pay the visa fee and with that receipt number created a ustraveldocs profile by giving all the details. After about a week are so, (please check this site daily), all of a sudden a message started to appear in the left side saying "The soonest appointment date is October 28th". We clicked on and locked in the date. Luckily, we received our letter in regular mail from Mumbai just a week prior to 28th (when it was mailed on October 7th from Mumbai embassy). My fiancée rushed to her medical and OFC in the next 2 days, and flew to Mumbai on 27th. She got approved, and ever since we have been waiting for her visa to be issued where all others got issued days ago.

Please let me know if you still have any questions?

Thank you so much that was of so much help :)

Just one more question, we did get engaged in Aug-12 but unfortunately we do not have any pics to prove that but she will be travelling down to Mumbai in Jan-14 and we will have the engagement with the family there but the problem is my visa interview may be scheduled before that so will this be a red flag or something for the interview?

Appreciate your help as always!

Regards

We did not have the proof either. When my fiancee was asked about the proof she explained that the engagement was a surprise. So the next question was any photos we had, she then shared casual photos we had taken.
