Folks - I just finished my IV interview. It was very cool. Went in at 8 AM and came out at 10 AM (probably faster due to the presence of my 8 month old kid).
Around 8:45 AM:-
Everything is the same as mentioned by Tanani. Appointment letter is asked by each and every security guy. Keep it handy. I arranged the documents as specified by Srifx. Used regular binding clips. I kept the immigration photos on top of the passport. Also, kept the interview letter on top of the binded document set. Gave my document set first and when the person was done with it, gave my wife\'s.
Was given the blue dart slip and asked to pay the application fee at counter 1. This person writes a number on the white slip to be given at counter 1. It was number 2. I was the last but one person to submit the docs.
Paid the application fee (12,740 each) at counter 1 and picked the receipts. Was asked to wait outside.
Around 9:30 AM:-
Every one were asked to assemble before the steps. Did the hand thinge (oath).
Around 9:45 AM:-
Mine was the second name to be called (there were 4 ladies whose husband were US citizens. They were called earlier). There were two counters 6 and 7. I was waiting beside the person in counter 7 for a minute when a security guy asked us to go to counter 6.
Here is the transcript of the conversation:
Him: What\'s the name?
Myself: Told full name.
He was busy seeing the documents. He checked the designation on the labor / employment letter and payslip.
Him: How long you worked in Germany, Sir?
Myself: 3 months
Him: arranged the documents. Gave us back the original certificates Marriage cert and my birth cert.
Him: Sir, Please sign these documents. DS230 part 2 and the letter mentioning reporting to the consulate if got laid off before reaching US.
Him: To my wife. Madam please sign this. (DS230 part 2)
Him: to my wife - Madam you can be seated with the baby in the reception.
Him: Was your wife in S\'pore with you?
Myself: No.
Him: gave me my Wife\'s Birth Cert.
Him: Please give me the bluedart slip and the bluedart dd.
Him: Please pay the issuance fee at counter 1. You can then go home.
Myself: Thanks.
The whole thing was over in less than 5 minutes.
Paid the issuance fee. And came out with smiles on the face.
I will notify the forum upon receiving the bluedart packet, tomorrow.
Misc:-
Met VisionCOV and spoke with him. Please arrange the documents as in Srifx\'s order or as in the appt letter. I saw atleast one person who was sent back to arrange the documents.
Good luck to you all! Thanks a bunch to Superman, Acehart, Meech, Gabbar, PattaHara, Samind and everyone.
