Yes, very much so!! Thanks, Loto! I saw your wife is heading for her interview. We all wish her the very best of luck. Looking foward to hearing your good news next week.

I have ready many people taking a "Demand Draft" and submitting it at the interview (for Indian consulates). What is this Demand Draft for and how much is it?

Hi everybody !

Can you give me some tips on how to organize the papers for submission at the VFS office? I submitted all originals to NVC so I think we just need to submit "Evidence of Relationship" to VFS along with the courier fees (please correct me if I'm wrong). If this is the case, what is the best way to submit this evidence, in a binder, legal folder (with 2 hole punches at top), or just loose papers?

Also, how should we carry the documents inside the consulate, due to all the security restrictions?

Hi everybody ! First of all, I just want to say that this site is absolutely THE BEST and VERY HELPFUL. Thanks all VJ members for your support and assistance.

My wife has been scheduled for her CR1 interview this July in India. Since she got her passport before we got married, I filed all the paperwork with USCIS and NVC in her maiden name and to avoid any problems, we have NOT changed her last name after marriage.

When and how should we proceed with her name change? Will they allow it during the interview or at the POE so that the Permanent Resident card (CR1) arrives with the new name? If we wait, then I think there's a steep fee to pay USCIS along with paperwork, which I want to avoid having to deal with all that waiting and tension again. Does anybody have any experience with this?
