Congrats bro....

I hv been given 221g bcz my joint sponsor has sponsored other people in past years and asked me to submit a new joint sponsor.

CO asked only few questions to me...Who is petitioning u? What ur husband is doing? How did u meet? Date of marriage,is this a first marriage for both of us? Thats all. Taken an oath and ask from donestic violebce...what is it? Explained me about my rights in US. Took fingerprints and taken all docs n even medical report from me. But returned my passport with 221g and told me,everything is fine with your case n you need to submit new sponsor through drop box along with passport then visa will b issued. I told,i have joint sponsor then he replued your joint sponsor has given sponsor to many people and his responsibilities rest is up to the time,they all get citizenship. So its not eligible.

If this is true,how NVC has approved my AOS?

So, I had my biometrics appointment on 17th march , 4 pm at bombay. It hardly took more than 5 minutes. But the waiting was so long, You need biometrics appointment letter, interview letter, ds260 confirmation copy , your original passport and 2 photos 2x2 size with white background. Just like you do at POE in usa, Place four fingers of each hand on scanner , one after another and then both the thumb together. Give your 2 passport size photos (2x2). also get your photo taken from canon dslr. lol. It is so hot there , when you are waiting in line , there is no shade outside.

Next day interview at 7:30 am, I knew about the prohibited things, so I had no coins or any digital items with me, did not take wallet inside but kept rupees notes in my pocket, I had 2 harmonium files along with a big wedding album. It was hard to carry everything but somehow I managed. The file structure was

1 . black harmonium file for all the documents except proof of relationship.

pocket 1. interview letter

pocket 2. passport

pocket 3. pcc & marriage certificate

pocket 4. birth certificate

pocket 5. medical report and vaccination records

pocket 6. tax return 1 ( my wife's tax return, 2012, 13 , 14) , w-2s , paystubs of last 2 months)

pocket 7 tax return 2( my tax return of 2012,13,14 from usa and india)

pocket 8 education degrees , old i-20s from my student visa

pocket 9 employment details (offer letters, experience letters, resignation letter)

pocket 10 forms , print of of i-130 , ds 260 , g-325a

pocket 11 receipts i-797s of my work permits from usa

pocket 12 Misc , ( docs related to my work permit of usa, copy of my usa driving license, ssn card)

you dont need to take all the things from above, its case specific.

2 . blue harmonium file for proof of relationship.

pocket 1. photos

pocket 2. marriage invitation cards

pocket 3. facebook updates

pocket 4. emails and chats

pocket 5. oovoo logs ( video call logs)

pocket 6. whatsapp messages

pocket 7 tickets of trips we took to see each other

pocket 8 bank accounts

pocket 9 phone bills

pocket 10 gift receipts

pocket 11 greeting cards we sent to each other

pocket 12 hotel bills from the trip we took together.

Dont worry if you dont have so many things for proof of relationship. you can collect what you have and take to the interview.

So , first i was called by an Indian officer. smiling young man. I said hi and all, then

he: is this first marriage for both of you?

me: answered

he: what's your birth date?

me: answered

he: Have you ever visited any other countries?

me: answered.

he: how long was your stay in canada and on which visa you were in usa?

me: answered

he: give me your old passport.

he checked old visa stamps.

he: when did you come back from USA?

me: answered

he: here are your documents which you submitted to NVC, we dont need any more documents from you.

me: I have the latest tax return from 2014.

he: oh that's good. please give it.

I was taking it out and he saw 2014 w-2. he also asked for it.

He gave me domestic violence paper and told me to read it and he said officer may ask you questions related to this.

After long wait, I was called by american visa officer. Smiling man with age around 45-50.

me: hello, how are you ?

he: I am fine , how about yourself? (he started typing) and asked so your wife is in PA?

me: yes

he: is she an engineer?

me : yes

he: so you were in USA for studies . from which college you finished engineering

me: answered

he: how was the college?

me: it was very good. it is located in newark downtown. campus has taco bell inside it and I love taco bell(as soon as he heard taco bell, he smiled and stopped typing , was looking at me). I was smiling .

he said okay , then started typing again

he: so is it love marriage or arranged?

me: answered ( he was not looking at me at all)

typing typing more typing....

he: here is the paper , you will have to pay $165 for green card fee. you are all set.

me: Thank you so much , have a nice day.

I wish good luck to all the people who are waiting for an interview.

BTW, later in the evening , status was " Issued".

Its $76,500 but in past years he had sponsored other people n according to CO,liability of sponsor will b uptill citizenship of all immigrant he has sponsored.

Apart from income,my joint sponsor's property value is of $2,00,000. So i cant even imagine this issue aroused by CO.

Ouh sorry to hear that sister i hope u will find a solution very soon but do u know how much was the income of the sponsor?

Thanks for your encouraged words dear.

Hello,

Calm down, you are almost there, get a joint sponsor ASAP and your visa would be approved,you waited for this and it is almost here, do not be discouraged.

Hi....Asked me to submit new joint sponsor because my sponsor has already sponsored many people in past yewrs nd he is responsible for them all and income is not sufficient for all of them. I need to submit it in drop box. So depressed....

First oath has been taken n then explained rights in US and explained about domestic violence. Asked only few questions....

Who is calling you? What your husband is doing? How did you meet? Is this both of yours first marriage? Date of marriage.. thats all

Interview in next 2 hours......
