She was staying at the Sofitel Mumbai, BKC. I reserved the hotel thru' Orbitz and got a rate of $142. Very nice hotel and only about 3 min walk from the consulate. She arrived at 7 am for a 7:30 appointment. She was able to go in immediately at 7 am.
The actual interview for my wife was very short. Like less than 2 minutes. They only asked her 3 questions:
1. Who is calling you?
2. What does he do for work?
3. Was it a love marriage or arranged marriage?
Then they said your visa is approved.
The total time inside the consulate was less than 2 hours. At about 9 am India time she came back to the hotel, called, and gave me the good news.
The CEAC website was showing Administrative Processing for about a day. Then very early the next day the status changed to "Issued". I am guessing the passport is in transit to Hyderabad right now.
