Successful Interview on 22nd
Hi All,
By God's grace we had a successful CP interview on 22nd and received our passports today with iv stamp valid for 6 months and sealed covers.
Before typing my expr. I would like to express my heartfelt thanks to Rajiv Khanna for this awesome site and CP seniors like Raju, Alren, KD who are still around with their valuable suggestions and recent cpers and all users of this forum who had patiently answered my queries.
Feb 22nd:
We reached consulate at 8:35 am for our 9:00 am interview, but had to wait till 9:05 am to get in. The security check is very strict, make sure that you do not carry any sealed envelopes (they will send you out to open it), if you have any water bottles/baby formula etc they make you take a sip in front of them.

Walked in to the iv area and was baffled for moment not knowing what to do after reaching there. Finally found a seat and settled. Future CPers just go and wait in that area your names will be called based on the schedule for the day.After 20min an office staff handed over an address slip for the courier, while filling it itself an indian officer called my name and asked me to seperate my docs, my spouse docs, my child's docs seperately and to handover my docs initially, he then asked me sign ds230 ii and started collecting the docs as per the list, for most docs he took the copies and handed over the originals. However for paystubs/bank statements .. he kept both. Then he collected my wife's docs and next my child's. He asked me about the visas I was in during my stay and about the employers I worked for. He was nice and polite but was asking me to hurry up stating that lot of people were waiting. Finally he asked us to go and wait for the names to be called again.
After 30 min wait an American officer(Jovial) called my name (the sound clarity is not good, you have to pay close attention) and asked my wife and I to give the finger prints and asked a few questions.
How long r u in US?
Where do you currently live?
That's it he said your documents are in order and told that we will receive our visas in 2 to 3 days. He returned certain original like BC's/MC's..We felt relieved and thanked him and left.

I received the visa packets after 2 days in my hometown. March CPers if you have any questions I would be more than happy to help.
