Here are some of the documents my wife carried.

Bank Statements
Employment offer letters of present and past.
Proof of relationship.
1. Marriage photos
2. Some photos of me and my wife along with some family members
3. My car insurance which has got my wife's name also.
4. Printout of some e-mails between my and my wife dating back from early 2005
5. Telephone records. I used reliance which listed calls made from my cell number to my wife's number. But my wife could not download them. It is better if you have such records.

Also,
The Consulate from time to time will adjust the dollar conversion Rate. So there is no way to predict the dollar movement.
So there is no way to pay in advance, the rate you pay is the rate they come up with for the week of the interview.
Check the consulates website or call them a week before the interview and get a Demand Draft for that amount...

Please post the whole process
Thanks,
Thanks,
In our case, the police came to our place to check and it took almost 10 days to issue the PCC. We had to fill an application (specific to that PS) and paid RS 500. We gave them 4 photos (not sure why they need 4) and submitted photo copy of wife's passport and my passport (address proof). I think the list varies depend on the place where you apply.
Thank you so much Kamrans! Have you heard of the coming increase of USCIS application fees this June 30, 2007? Will the visa fee be among the increases? I saw the different fees but I haven't seen the visa fee then..
Godbless,

Correct me if I am wrong, but the follow to Join is only for EB immigrants right? Does it apply to DV? I am not Sure...
Thanks NJBLUE for your inquiry. My wife's interview was over today. They issued Visa. Told they would send passport by courier. Interview lasted 4-5 minutes. Some questions on my employer, my salary, why my salary last year was less than what I mentioned on affidavit of support. I asked my wife to compile the interview questions. I will post them here in 1 or 2 days. They also took my wife's school leaving certificate. This was not mentioned as required document. Still she carried and it helped. Hope your documentation is complete/near completion. My special thanks to Kamrans others. Good luck to you and, rammy, rm101, mega and others.

Congratulations dude. Hopefully everything is looking good now. Pray for me. I am still waiting for the security check of my wife to be completed. Its pending even after 2 months from the interview date.
I am giving my wife's interview experience here.
Interview was scheduled at 7:30 am. Went to VFS office in Mumbai at 6:40 am. The office had not yet opened and all of us had to stand on the pavement till about 7:10am.
At 7:10 we were called inside the VFS office and we kept our baggage in the locker room. They charged Rupees.200/- per person.Then we were asked to wait in the lounge. At about 7:35 am, all applicants whose interview was scheduled at 7:30 am were called and we were taken to the consulate in their bus. At the consulate, preliminary security checks were conducted after which the immigrant visa applicants were asked to wait separately.
There I was asked the following question by an Indian lady.
1 Who is sponsoring your visa?
2.How long is your husband staying in US?
3- Why havent you changed your name to your married name in the passport?
4 Dont you want to change?
-
5.Submit your school leaving certificate (original and photocopy)
6 Show your husband's visa and photocopy of passport.
7. Submit your medical reports
8.Would you be taking your interview in english?
9.After this, I was asked to wait. After about 30 min I was called to counter . There the officer greeted me and made me take an oath and my finger prints were taken. Then I was asked the following.
10.Who is sponsoring your visa?
11.How long has your husband been in the US?
12. What is your marriage date?
13. Where did the marriage take place?
14. Show your marriage album.
15.How many brothers and sister does your husband have? What are their names? Where do they stay?
16. What is your husband's income?
17.Where is your husband working presently? When did he join this company? Where was he before?
18.Did you travel outside India anytime?
19. When did you last see your husband?
After these questions were answered, the visa was issued.
Hope this helps.

My wife submitted a demand draft for $380 in Indian Rupees. Exhange Rate is 1$= 42Rs. Demand Draft was taken at the beginning of interview along with some medical documents. So $380 or the equivalent is all you need to pay.
-Thanks
HBG
Hi HBG2001,
Did you submit one single DD for $380 or two different DDS? (one for $335 and other one for $45).
Please let me know.
Thanks
Only one DD for $380. Its equivalent in Indian Rupees.
HBG, Thank you very much for your update.
Do we need to carry entire marriage album because people from non-immigrant visa unit recommends not to bring more than 30 photos?
