    Need help for the upcoming interview

    in Asia: South

    Posted

    My wife's interview for CR-1 visa is on October 15. I send an e-mail to Delhi embassy on September 5 and I was notified of the interview date. However, she hasn't received anything from the Delhi embassy. I am confused as to what we are required to do at this point. Our case has been already delayed since it took my wife about 8 months to get her passport. In the e-mail I received I was notified that if I don't receive a letter by three weeks before interview, I can get a duplicate from the embassy. I am aware that my wife needs to submit the documents at VFS before the interview and also get her medical done. My wife is planning to go to the embassy on Monday. Will she need the duplicate interview letter to submit the documents at VFS and also to get her medical done. Secondly, on the Delhi embassy website, it says that I need to submit the medical report to the VFS. Is this true? I would appreciate any help from somebody who has went through this process at Delhi embassy. :help:

    Yes ur wife needs interview letter when she will go to vfs as the first thing they ask is photostat copy of interview letter.Interview letter comes in normal mail and in our case it took 13 days to recieve the packet and interview letter.Ur wife can also collect duplicate interview letter from embassy and can get her medical done and subit to vfs.Best of luck

    Fiancee's K-1 Visa Approved

    in Asia: South

    Posted

    This was my fiancee's 4th visit to the New Delhi Embassy. The prior three I have written up comments for, and were related to submitting forms for the K-1 visa and picking up packets.

    She arrived at the Embassy at 7:00 AM, and they let her in at 7:30 AM. There were a LOT of people there, even at 7:00 AM.

    First they collected everyone's interview letters.

    Then the called people by name to a counter.

    At the counter, she spoke with an Indian Consular official who was very polite, nice, and friendly. He asked her a large number of questions, which she happily answered:

    1. How is Parag related to you?

    2. Have you been to the U.S.?

    3. When exactly?

    4. How long did you stay each time?

    5. Did you ever overstay any visa?

    6. Have you ever been refused a visa to the U.S.?

    7. When?

    8. For what reasons were you refused?

    9. Do you have any relatives in the U.S. that came from India?

    10. What are the statuses of each of them?

    11. How did each of them enter the U.S., and on what visa?

    12. Where do they all live in the U.S.?

    13. Where does Parag live?

    14. Will this be your first wedding?

    15. Will this be his first wedding?

    16. Why did your brother come on a visitor visa and then apply for a student visa?

    17. Why did your sister want to marry a U.S. visa holder?

    18. Do you have your medical report?

    19. Why was your sealed medical report opened? (VFS opened it)

    20. Show me your old passport? (He took both the new and old passport, and stapled them together.)

    She had evidence to back up her answers, but he was not interested in seeing anything. He handed her back all the evidence from VFS as well. He then stated that they require the DS-156 to be handwritten, not typed. (We never received Packet 3, so I don't know if that is in the instructions - I know it is not in the instructions for Packet 3 for Mumbai which is online.)

    The Indian consular offical gave her a new form DS-156 and asked her to copy in her own handwriting each and every answer from the typed DS-156 she submitted, and then sign it and return it to him pronto. He also returned all of her 2x2 passporth photos, and told her he would take them later.

    After she filled out DS-156 and gave it back to him, he instructed her to pay the INR 4200 rupee fee and wait for the 2nd interview.

    While she was waiting, she noticed VFS officials bringing in suitcases filled of files to the Embassy. These are probably for interviews later in the week. She even recognized some of the officials from when she was at VFS.

    The second interview was at a different counter, with an American consular official. He was polite, nice and friendly as well. My fiancee said he laughed a lot and was very jolly. He also made a lot of pleasant jokes.

    First, he asked her to take the oath that she will tell the truth.

    Then, he asked for her fingerprints. Then he asked her to press her fingers harder, as it was not registering in his system.

    Next, he asked the following questions:

    1. What are your qualifications?

    2. Whet school did you do your 10+2 from?

    3. Where was that school located?

    4. In what state was that school?

    5. Where did you do you college?

    6. What does Parag do? (She said I was an Architect)

    7. Does he build buildings? (No, Computer Architect)

    8. How have you met Parag?

    9. When exactly did he arrive in India?

    10. Did you know him before he arrived?

    11. How did you know him?

    12. What is your family's involvement?

    13. What is his family's involvement?

    14. Is this going to be a love marriage or arranged marriage?

    15. Explain again what kind of marriage this is, in detail please.

    16. What are Parag's qualifications?

    17. Who introduced you?

    18. When is he coming to India again?

    Then he said, congratulations, you got the visa. Please sign this DS-156K. You will receive your passport in a week.

    She left the Embassy before 2 pm.

    congrats
