Had interview today at Mumbai Consulate and both me and my daughter got the CR1/CR2 visa approval. Its such a relief. The interview lasted hardly five minutes but the wait was long - 2.5 hours after the documents were verified. Apparently people opting for local language as the language for interview are interviewed before those opting to be interview in English. I was asked about 4-5 questions while the consulate officer typed vigorously on her computer. My husband accompanied us to the consulate and the officer asked him to come and stand with us. Â I wasn't asked to show any photos or any other document. The questions I was asked are:
1. How did you meet your husband?
2. When did you decide to get married?
3. How did the proposal happen?
4.What does he do for living in USA?
5. Are you working?
6. Does your husband's parents live in USA or in India?
I noticed that all other marriage based visa applicants came alone for the interview and were asked too many questions, photo proofs, documents etc. I feel that since my husband accompanied me to the interview, I was spared the hassle.
I carried a truck load of relationship evidence and I am glad I did not have to use any.
Good luck to every one out there waiting to be interviewed and united with their respective families. Visajourney has been a great resource to understand the entire process and to know beforehand about what to expect at various stages between filing the petition and interview.Â
