      Apparently not. She got her papers today, and is back in Bangalore (Teya, Bangalore is 210 miles West of Chennai, where she had to go). Got a mini-scare at first that she only got the x-ray, but apparently (checked with jinyandjony) you get everything (x-ray+DS-2053)in one sealed envelope to give to the consulate. Consulate takes form, and lets you keep x-ray.

      Thanks for the wish...Good luck with your interview. Currently, I am in India and will be bringing my wife with me to US.

  10. Alright everyone, its November...I can now say that the interview is THIS month! :-)

  11. Thanks for posting your review. Did you wait for the passport to come via courier or did you pick it up the next day?

  12. Anything new? saw that you had a cc recently...

  13. Congratulations on the visa! Did you meet Zeban? His wife also got her visa!

  14. Hey Teya...is it true? you sent the AOS? yipee!

  15. Good luck tomorrow. Like others said in reply to your post, only fee that you need to have paid in India is the VFS courier fee. You already paid everything else. Waiting to hear about your experience!

  16. Hi there! I tried sending you a message but says you can't receive new messages. Can you please send me your e-mail address? Mine is kaashparinda@gmail.com My wife is the exact same situation as you were a few months ago (also from Bangalore, CR-1) and I have some specific questions...thanks!

  17. Why did the interview have to be so close to thanksgiving? Tough to get tickets/seats!

      Thanks Nazeem, Nah...there was something definitely different in Chennai for Oct. There are no interviews, as far as I know after Oct 24. Then people who got cc after I did got dates 2 weeks before me... soooo...who knows. I am just planning on being there with my wife...her interview is on Nov 30.

      What do you mean, mixed up? How do you know it was mixed, up, you get the passport with the visa stamp and a sealed envelope right?

      He got his visa and the sealed envelope, 6 days before leaving Fiji we get a call from the embassy asking us to come pick up my hubbys medical reports that they forgot to include in the sealed envelope, I advised them it was not possible as the embassy was a 6hr dr and if they can send express mail or COD and I will pay for the package delivery. She advised she's sending it express mail and not to open any of the envelopes as it is to be opened in LA. So its friday and we are supposed to ...

      Thanks Nazeem, however your post is not complete as there is a text limit here. You can send me a msg but I get the gist of it. I think perhaps the fijian embassy is an exception, I haven't seen these kinds of screwups in India.

  18. Appears that my case physically left NVC en-route to Chennai on Oct 5. I used guidelines here that BMW pointed me to: http://www.visajourney.com/forums/topic/163292-dhl-tracking-from-nvc-to-us-embassy/

      When you track by number, look for shipment details to get shipment weight.

      Thanks, wait@nvc. I haven't bothered to follow up since there's not much we can do about when it reaches Chennai.

  19. Can you please update yr time line in detail? Bunch of us are trying to get the bottom of why interviews are being given to folks who case complete was later, but got yr interview earlier. Yours is an example. People have had cc before you (for Chennai) and are still waiting. Thanks! (add case complete and packet 4, i.e. interview letter rcvd date. Am adding you as a friend, thanks.

  20. Got my interview date too...day after yours.
