Successful CP interview on 10th June
Guys,
First of all, sorry for posting my experience little late, I know some of the Cpers were waiting for people like me who had their interview before 15th to post experience. The reason behind was that I had to go twice (10th and 14th) to embassy, as my wife’s medical reports did not come on time. I had medical appointment on 8th at Lilavati, due to my wife’s pregnancy they could not take her x-ray and they had to do skin test for which one has to wait for 48 hrs before they can write a report, so we did not get her report before our interview and then embassy was close on Friday the 11th, so I had to wait till 14th the Monday to submit the report and wait for the result. Trust me guys, these were the longest 3 days of my life. Lesson for future CPers if any of you are going with a pregnant lady, keep more than 2 days between your interview and medicals.
Before I post anything more let me thank the God and the CP gurus on this forum who all helped me a lot and answered all my questions. Especially, kd, Raju, Alren and others.
Anyway, we had our medicals on 8th morning. We reached there at 8:00 AM, everything was smooth besides what I mentioned for my wife. I picked my report at 3PM, and they said that for my wife’s report, we will have to come after 489 hrs, which was after our interview on 10th morning.
We reached to embassy on 10th morning at 7:45 AM, the lady outside told me to go in right away. She told me that my wife will join me little later, So I requested her that she is pregnant and could not stand for too long, she let her join me. Once we reached inside, one lady collected the appointment letter and told us to sit before window 10. We waited for long time for someone to call our name for document collection. Our names were called at around 11:30 PM. The lady at counter 10 was the same person who I spoke to on the phone couple of times, she recognized my name right away.
She asked for following papers.
DS-230 part II (for both)
Birth Certificate copies (for both)
Marriage certificate copies (2 separate for both)
Original notarized employment letter
Original notarized I-134 for my wife
PCC (for both)
I-797(approval notices for H-1 and H-4) Original as our visa stamp on passport was expired
I hope I’m not missing anything…
After few minutes, we have been called on window 9 for interview. The consulate lady asked us to raise our hands for oath and the helper Indian guy gave us Ds-230 part II to sign. Tehn she immediately asked me that tell me about your job. So I started that my designation is xxxx and doing xxxx for my company. Before I finish she rudely interrupted me and asked me that what’s your qualification ? So I started saying that I’m a MBA and xxx. Again she interrupted me and asked me that how much salry my company will pay me ? So I replied that $xxx , which is very close to what mentioned in labor. Then she said that your wife’s medical is pending, is that right ? So I said, right. Then I asked her if she can do us favor and allow us to submit the report on the same afternoon. She said “No”, we will be closing in ½ hour, so you will have to come tomorrow morning. She gave our passports back and a standard form with a check mark against pending medical report. But they were closed on Friday 11th, So I had to go back on Monday 14th, to submit the report. I went again at 7:30 in the morning on 14th and after submitting the report they told me to come back at 12PM. I went back at 12PM and they told me that you will have to come back at 2:30 as officers still reviewing your file. That made me go nuts for 2 hours. I was impatiently for 2:30. Went back again at 2:30 and the lady at outside window told me come back at 3:30 and collect the visas. I was so relieved to hear those words. Finally it’s over. Now, I’m going to work on those famous words by Kd “Live life King Size”
Once gain, I would like to thank for helping me a lot. This forum is really blessing for all of us. Thank you Rajiv Khanna. I’m so thankful to all those people who helped me unselfishly and I’m planning to do the same. Just bear with me until I come there if I can not answer right away as I’m having some connectivity problem here in India.
Let me know if any of you have any questions regarding my interview.
