K1 Visa - US embassy- Mumbai

[pksang 0]

Hello all,

I have been searching for archives on experience on K1 Visa process and interview details for Mumbai embassy here on VJ, but have not had much luck.. So i thought i would start this thread and all K1 applicants going through Mumbai embassy (Delhi, Madras, Calcutta too) could share their thoughts/experiences and tips

For those who have allready graduated from this step of embassy interview - please do post your experiences and interview details... it will be very helpful for the rest of us who are in line waiting..

By the way my fiancee is from mumbai and is currently waiting for an interview appointment. She just returned her packet 3 on 20th March..

Thanks and lets all get in touch.

Hey you can call DOS - 1-202-663-1225 and choose 1-0-0 and talk to a visa specialist and find out if the embassy has scheduled the interview. I think bombay embassy schedules interviews in the last week of the month, and mails out appointment letters in the first week of the month.

You can call DOS in the first week of April to see if you have interview date.

Good Luck,

Yamini

Thank you Yamini.. I will call DOS in beg of april to check.. I saw on bombay consulate site - they have already posted their interview schedule for april and we are not in it.. But the funny thing i noticed was they just had 21 K1 interviews (one case per working day) for the whole month.

I had seen the same thing in their march schedule too..

Well I am hoping they are giving apts for the month and just not posting them on their online schedule on the net... i hope soo..

Hey congratulations on ur visa approval.. i just saw ur signature line and noticed that u got ur visa yesterday.. cool.. congratulations to both of u..

Regards,

Parth

Hi Parth,

My fiancee is also waiting for the interview from Mumbai consulate. They advised me to look at http://mumbai.usconsulate.gov/interview_appt_schedule.html after APRIL 16 for May schedule.

Hi Zdnh,

Cool - so look like we are the only two waiting for mumbai embassy to move... I called the visa specialist number in us yesterday and they told me that there is no update from embassy as to interview scheduling for our case..

You know i pulled up mumbai embassy's apt schedule for march n april - they had only 20-21 cases for the whole month. 1 interview per working day ??? that didn't much make sense too me...

Anways we both have mailed Pkt 3 around the same time.. so we should expect interviews around the same time.. i will keep u posted if i hear anything more.

Regards,

Parth
