Hi Everyone,

Just wanted to share the good news! The interview experience was interesting, because, even though my wife was the first one in line, she was one of the last ones out. The interview itself was about 15 minutes long with lots of rapid fire questions, with her barely answering a question before being asked the next one!

The sample questions from the reviews and forum posts were very useful in preparing for the big day.

I will post more details in the review section soon!

Thanks again to all those contributors who shared their knowledge and best wishes.

Thanks for the quick reply, magical.

Congrats on the recent arrival of your wife. You must be ecstatic!

Enjoy the winter holidays together

Unfortunately the GC is only issued in the name on the passport...we tried every which way to do what you want to do, but failed, so we are spending the $450 to do the name change after the fact

The original application was done in the maiden name, but I remember reading that at the interview, the name can changed by filling out the immigrant visa app in the married name.

If the passport is issued under the maiden name, does the CR-1 visa also have the match the maiden name? If so, then can we get the visa in the maiden name and GC in married name without having to go through the name change process once she gets here? I'm trying to avoid the long delay and $450 in fees.

Thanks!

So...it took exactly 60 days...but finally got an interview date for Dec 16th.

Hi Everyone,

First of all, I wanted to express my gratitude to this board for all the useful info. It's been tremendous help!

Just wanted to see if anyone else is in my situation.

After all the ups and downs (priority date of 7-7-11), getting RFEs, etc...finally got a case complete on 9/2/11.

Based on other's experiences, I was expecting an interview date around 10-14 days afterwards, but unfortunately, here we are 40 days later, and still no interview date

Anyone with a case complete in Sep get a date for Mumbai?

Of course, I've been calling once a week, but still get the same reply: "Your case is waiting for an interview from the consulate in Mumbai..."

Any thoughts?

Thanks!
