L2 Visa Experience in Delhi
My wife's L1B visa got approved in Chennai on March 19. She was asked basic questions just to confirm her authenticity:
Employer, Nature of Work, Profile, Place of visit etc.. In fact, the interviewer reminded her that the spouse can work and she should exercise this option.
I applied for L2 at Delhi Consulate.
Day 1 @ OFC at Nehru Place on April 7
1. Reached on time for the appointment. There was que long enough to make me stand out for 15 mins
2. No documents or other proofs asked for. Only presented my DS160 and appointment letter.
3. Photographs and Biometrics done.
4. Security is not extremely tight there. They allow small bags and other material to be carried inside but water bottles are to be left outside.
Day 2 @ Embassy
1. Had my interview scheduled at 11AM, reached by 10:45 AM. The queue for 11AM slot had already started at Gate 6.
2. I deliberately avoided taking my car since there's no parking in the vicinity. I guess closest parking would be at Nehru Park or Ashok Hotel. People with driver's may have some flexibility.
Race Course Road Metro Station is only 3 KM (5-7 min), Rs 33 by auto meter :)
3. They allow mobile phones to be left in deposit outside the embassy.
4. The support staff inside do a primary check on documents. I was asked for my Passport Copy, DS160, my wife's stamped I-129S. Though the screen there continuously flashes that they have all the documents they need, but it's advised everywhere to carry all the documents along, as backup.
The message what flashes on the screens there pretty much explains everything. It is only a interview, not interrogation. They have majority of information.
4. Once in, at the window, the sweet lady didn't bother me much. She only took my passport and my wife's I-129S.
5. Questions asked:
a. What does your wife do?
b. Name of her employer?
c. What is the nature of her work?
d. How long have you been married?
e. And then, as it got a little candid, she asked me if it was an arranged marriage. And how we guys met.
She happily informed that my visa is approved and wished me a happy stay!
No proofs asked for marriage certificate, photographs or anything else. Though I was carrying some marriage photographs and original certificate too.
Just to add.. I have been to US earlier as a bachelor, and had mentioned my SSN number and other details in the form.
Passport Collection was a little troublesome. I wasn't able to goto Nehru Place to collect my passport on time and hence had to goto Consulate to collect my passport.
Remember, the OFC keeps passport with them only for the first 14 days after the message is sent out.
