    Hi arka, i have a interview on 28 june at mumbai consulate , you will get interview results on same day but the passport will take 4-5 days and dont forget to creat yr profile and adress conformation form

    YES this is right

  2. Steps are pretty straight forward:

    Travisa order form would allow you " Real-Time " tracking for your application. Please read the steps one by one, it all should look easy then.

    thx my friend for your support

  3. I m so not happy... I called NVC today.. And the CR told me they are working on cases prior to 22 Oct. She rudely told me that for your case the visa number is not available yet. After waiting almost 45 minutes and the machine telling me that NVC takes personal attention for all the calls. The CR on the phone didn't even greeted me, the direct question was Case number please!!

    sweety cool wait more 2 days i hope u have good news shanti rakh mari ben

  4. My usa immigration interview experience at Mumbai consulate:

    Details:

    Priority date : 4 apr 2001

    Interview date : 25 jan 2013

    Preference category: f4

    We (me, my parents and my brother ) reached at consulate at 5.45 am. We were made to stand in the queue at about 6:30 am. There were two ques one for the Immigrant and the other for the No-Immigrant Visas. (student visa ,visitor visa , b1 ,b2 )

    My brother was standing on other side of the road because his name was missing in appointment letter.

    After 5-10 minutes , 2 vfs guys check bar-coded sticker with the help of tablet and scanner of non-immigrant visa applicants. And also told all immigrant visa applicants to hold their appointment letter in hand .

    Then at sharp 7.00 am we were allowed to enter into consulate. There is sitting arrangement outside the security room’s door.

    After 2 minutes we were allowed inside into the security check room, where we were asked to put all the bags, files, watches, wallets and also the sweaters and jackets into a plastic basket which they gave for a security scanning.

    After the security check we were sent to waiting area , which is located at main entrance of the consulate. after 2 minutes we enter into consulate .a window no.16 one lady stuck 2 stickers of token no on my mom’s appointment letter.

    There are two series of token numbers. One starting with letter I and the other with S.

    After that we were made to sit in the chairs arranged in front of the 16 counters (where the interview would be conducted).

    At 7.45 am , our token no displayed on big screen .we went to window no 4. Young Indian lady was there behind the glass.

    Indian officer : Give me your appointment letter. I gave i/l .then she asked for passports . I gave passports. Then she gave us our original documents back which we have submitted to NVC.

    Indian officer : In which language you want to give your interview.

    My mom : gujarati.

    Indian officer : Give me mam’s birth certificate(photocopy) , pcc and medical report. I gave all documents .

    Then she asked for my dad’s birth certificate (photocopy ), pcc , medical report.i gave all documents.

    Indian officer to me :you are over 21 , so your case is closed. However there is a law called CSPA. i will count your CSPA age and I will let you know if you are eligible or not.

    Me : mam , my brother is also derivative beneficiary of this petition , we have paid iv fee(404$ ) and also submitted ds-230 in 2010.

    Indian officer look into computer and file , then

    Indian officer : you haven’t paid iv fee for him.

    Me: mam we have paid. I gave receipt .

    Then she asked for tax returns of petitioner and co-sponsorer of 2011 . I gave tax returns.

    Then she asked for I-864 and I-864A of petitioner and co-sponsorer .i gave .then she asked for one photocopy of I-864 of co-sponsorer.i gave.

    Then she started questioning my mom .

    My mom : my sister.

    Indian officer : what is she doing there ?

    Hi Everyone

    My wife's PD is 7th Feb 2011. Which I believe should be current in few months.

    We provided every papers to NVC Apr 2012 including her Police Cert. I called and they said

    her case is complete.

    I was wondering if anyone can advise me whether she will need a new police cert during

    interview.

    Please reply.
