Hi,
Currently, I'm on H1B visa and am planning on getting married in April 2005. I have to take an online appointment at Mumbai (Bombay) consulate for myself and my fiancee (her for H4 visa), which requires both of us to submit forms (such as DS 156) before the interview.
I am in kinda bind over the the questions I have :
1. At the time of scheduling the online interview, we are NOT married. So, can form DS 156 be filled assuming that marriage has taken place? Cause on the day of the appointment, we would be married.
2. Similarly, what should be our statuses be while filling out the form? (Single/Married).
3. Theres a question mentioning whether any of the following are in US. Husband/Wife or Fiance/Fiancee. What should be selected here?

Please advise. Can I change any of the info later on. I have read it can be done for Chennai and Delhi, but am not sure about Mumbai, since Mumbai has some special procedures. I appreciate all responses.

Thanks.
 
I have been in the similar situation

Hi,
I have been in the similar situation while filling up my fiancee's Visa application. I called up Chennai consulate and spoke to them. They said will consider her application only two days before the appointment date. And when we produce the valid documents to prove that you are couple (married) so it wont be a problem, and also said Visa issuing office will understand that appointments only being made with atleast 3 months waiting period. With my Chennai consulate phone experience I filled out my fiancee's application with my details as husband. So check out with Mumbai embassy and see how things go. All the best.
