Well.. as u all know that I was approved today....I am extremely sorry that I could not post the details earlier today... Here is my story...

Actually my K3 interview was scheduled on 26th April, and we went to embassy with a little hope that we may be interviewed on that day as DoS told my husband that embassy should process my IR1 at the time of K3 interview. So we were at the embassy by 7:15 am. There was a moderately long line full of DV and family IV applicants... We had to go through the usual security check, and this is where the medical sealed envelop is torned down by the security guards. We entered into the embassy .. It was aroung 9:00 o clock. We submitted our appointment letter for that day along with the medical report.... then waited for 20-30 min, and was called at the window 3. There was a bengali woman who actually explained me that they can't have a interview session for my IR1 visa on that day (May be they don't know or don't have the policy like other embassies). So she asked me to come back on 27th which is my actually date for IR1. She took my medical report as it was already torn .. and put it with my file....

So the BIG day comes on 27th....

We went at the embassy at 6:45 am. We made our car driver to stand in the long line of applicants while we were roaming around in a lake side near the embassy.. We then entered into the line at 7:45am, and was able to enter into the embassy by 8:30am after all sorts of security checks...Then we waited for a while...around half past 9, I was called at the window 3 by a bengali woman. She was ok...She simply asked my few question.

1. Who is the petitioner?

2. Is this our first Marriage?

3. If I have ever applied for US visa, if yes what kind of visa was it?

then she took my finger prints for all 10 fingers. Then she returned my original BC and PC and asked me to submit the my passport, 2 photos and a copy of my PC. After that, I asked her that if my husband can accompany me for the visa...She was like " YES HE CAN ENTER IN TO THE INTERVIEW WITH YOU" . So, I went out happily with the very first good news that US citizens can accompany there spouses in their interview...Then she told me to wait outside and a CO will call me for the interview soon.

So we waited another hour or something, and the big call was once heard... "S Sh D, please come to the window 6".. We (me and my husband) entered into the window 6. A nice caucasian young lady was waiting to interview us. Firstly she asked to me "What is your name?" and then to my husband the same question in addition to if he was my petitioner. Then she asked to sign the DS 230 Part II. After that I had to take a oath that I will tell only the truth and nothing but the truth. Then she started..

1. How did we meet?

2. Asked my husband to tell the story.

3. Asked my husband about his job details.

4. Asked me to show some photos of our wedding. (we took around 300 photos in 5 bundles.. showed her 2 bundles and she seemed satisfied)

5. How many times did he come after marriage? (I said 3 times, she said WOW!! thats gr8)

Nothing much after that..it was quite easy and simple....after that she uttered the magic word " Congratulation, ur Immigration Visa has been approved" and gave us a white slip where it mentioned to collect the passport on 28th.

So, we thanked her, came out laughing.......and we were happiest couple in the whole world.

The interview was in Bengali, no additional questionnaire was asked to submit...

Good Luck Every one...

Hi Sonia,

congrats and hope that you guys are living happily ever after. I have a few questions:

1) Did you submit the original marriage, birth certificate, police certificate to the NVC? Or did you submit them to the consulate? If you had submitted them to the NVC when did you get them back?

2) About the medical test: how long did it take? did you have to take shots?

Thank you very much and congrats again.

I had my wife's NVC case complete on December, 2009. So, I was hoping to get a Jan, 2010 or February, 2010 interview for her. But until today the case has still not been forwarded to the consulate in Dhaka. As far as I know, the NVC schedules the interviews in the first two weeks of each month for the last two weeks of next month. Has anyone got their interviews Scheduled for February yet? I mean, today is 15th of Jan; so the NVC must have done scheduling the February interview by now. I guess mine just could not make it.
