Hi,
Anybody who has recently gone through administrative processing?
My mom had her interview today for visitor visa at Delhi Consulate.Her day started with some bad news.We didn't know that visa fees has increased so first thing she had to go outside the consualte to change her draft to 4600/-frm 4400/-.Came back inside submitted the draft,and to her surprise even TTS took there 441 bucks before her interview(but thankfully gave a receipt)Then she went for her interview.
I always used to tell her to avoid a FEMALE CO.But guess who took her interview a Female CO sitting in window no 13(my mom is really superstitious!)Anyways,interview went pretty good.Following q's were asked:
-who is in US?
-which place she works?
-where does she live?
-how many kids u have?where are all of them?
-what does ya husband do?is he retired?how much pension he gets?
-do i file taxes?
My mom also showed some family pics as proof of kids and ids of my bro and sis as they both are students in India.9just to stress on family ties)
Finally,the CO said,i can't issue visa to u today.come back after 2pm today for your fingerprints along with DD of 4000/-.Then we will call u in 2-3 weeks.She returned my mom's passport and DD of 2300/-.My mom left the consulate at that time.Came back inside after 2pm,gave her fingerprints and DD of 4000/(processing fees for fingerprinting)and went back home.
So we are just being positive that at least her visa is not rejected.Its just going to take few more weeks.
I know adm pro is just formality but not sure how much time its going to take exactly.any suggestions?any body going through same thing or had similar experience in past?
Thanks to all!
