Asia: SouthWhat to wear
Haha. Riiight, Darnell.

I fear that'll be a tad too much for the blistering Bombay heat in May.

Asia: SouthWhat to wear
Thanks for your input, Trinket.

So, I'm thinking my jeans and a black formal shirt will be good enough for the interview.

Will be wearing my wedding ring AND my engagement ring. But no sindoor or bangles since I don't really wear them. I did wear bangles on my wedding day as evidenced by the picture but no sindoor as we just has a civil registration ceremony and reception dinner.

Okay kids,

This thread is for us to share ideas and opinions about what to wear/what you wore to the interview. For both men and women although I am curious as an Indian woman is it necessary to turn up in full bridal regalia with shiny salwars, bangles, sindoor etc or will jeans and a well fitting shirt be appropriate attire?

Please leave your thoughts/suggestions.

Peace and luck!

Asia: SouthWTF India wants more doc than USCIS for a tourist visa
My husband applied for an Indian tourist visa last July. He got it in 3 days.

Asia: SouthHow was your day today?
Thankyou! I'll be working in a bank so I went shopping for nice, work clothes all morning. Mr. Sachinky got real bored but I had fun. Came back with four nice blouse/top thingies and two dress pants. One in black and one in tan! :dance:

Uneventful, relaxing Sunday. Lots of soccer and beer. Yay for Germany!

It rained all morning and then it got really hot in the evening. I made fried rice and pork in a sesame and ginger sauce. Rustled up some bread pudding for dessert. I start work this week so I'm looking forward to getting out of the house.

I'm playing the role of the dutiful, docile housewife as Mr. Sachinky is at work. I cook, clean and bake all day as I await his return.

I need to find a job soon. Aw, lord.

In the meantime, yaay for FoodNetwork! <3

It was great. We went to the Memorial Day parade downtown. Then we got coffee at the local cafe and came home for lunch!

Thanks, Anwesha.

Another weekend of waiting. Not knowing. GAH.

Still waiting for my case complete. Lord, I thought NVC was supposed to be quick. The RFE completely threw us off.

Hung out with some girl friends in the evening and chowed down a delicious plate of dumplings.

Still waiting for my log in failed. I want it NOW!

I had a fab day watching the fourth day's play between India and South Africa at the Eden Gardens in Calcutta. Despite the bleeding rain and poor light.

Congratulations, third.

Asia: SouthHow was your day today?
Aw.

I had a fab V-day. Chicken wings, garlic bread, four cheese pizza and cake. And an eight hour marathon of "How I Met Your Mother." :)

Thanks K, Third and Parul.

Hope all of you are keeping well. 4 days off from NVC. I'll be obsessing, beginning Tuesday again. :)

Yea, they were REALLY quick during January. Slowly down a bit again. Fingers crossed for an early April interview!
sachinkyFemaleIndia2/11/2010 12:17
Asia: SouthHow was your day today?
Yup, yup, yup, just sent in my DS230 packet. Fingers crossed for no RFEs and a quick case complete.

K, I'm so happy for you!

My Saturday began great -- I slept in late and then woke up to find my NVC case number updated on 01/29!
sachinkyFemaleIndia1/30/2010 3:50

Trinket and Third--thanks. I'm hoping to zoom through NVC. Fingers crossed.

Dear fellow-Indians,

Happy Republic Day!

I had a terrific day--the NOA2 arrived! WOOT!
sachinkyFemaleIndia1/26/2010 4:38

I stayed in today and caught up on my weekly fix of 24, Gossip Girl and 30 Rock.
sachinkyFemaleIndia1/24/2010 13:18

Heh. Got it.

My best friend from Pennsylvania is here in Calcutta for 10 days. I get to spend the whole day with her. :)

"other people on other sites from India."

What other sites?
sachinkyFemaleIndia1/22/2010 15:43
Asia: SouthHow was your day today?
What other sites? Not to betray VJ but I'd like to take a look around too.
sachinkyFemaleIndia1/22/2010 15:34
Asia: SouthHow was your day today?
Haha. So no news yet?
sachinkyFemaleIndia1/22/2010 13:47
Asia: SouthHow was your day today?
I'm right with you, K--still playing the waiting game.

Just give me my friggin' NOA2 already.
sachinkyFemaleIndia1/22/2010 13:20
Asia: SouthHow was your day today?
Oh lord, I just want my NOA2. Put me out of my misery already, CSC.
sachinkyFemaleIndia1/17/2010 14:33

I have a death cold and high fever so I spent all day under a blanket sleeping/ reading The Beach by Alex Garland.
sachinkyFemaleIndia1/17/2010 11:56

Yo, K, congratulations!

Hope the AP is short-lived! :)
sachinkyFemaleIndia1/4/2010 11:42
Asia: SouthHow was your day today?
Hope you all had a fun New Year's Eve.

I went out with my cousin and her boyfriend who had a party at his place. Met some people I've not seen in five years, drank a lot, then ended up eating at a roadside dhaba at about two. After driving around the city and throwing up in a street corner, we got in at around 4am. Good times.

All my best wishes for a Happy 2010, ladies!

I will be at work 8-12 IST Monday morning, but I'll keep my fingers crossed for you, K!

Happy New Year, lovelies!

Asia: SouthHow was your day today?
Trinket -- Haha, you're one of the VERY few people to pick up on the Sachin. I absolutely, utterly, hopelessly love that man. Worship him, practically.
My nickname is Chinky. Sachin + Chinky = Sachinky. It's like we're meant to be. smile.gif I avoid Chinky in the U.S. as it is quite racist. So I use Sachinky instead.

And my husband, bless his heart, just doesn't GET this process. His standard refrain is, "But you're my wife!" "But I love you!" "But I am a USC!" "But who's gonna keep us apart?" I don't bother with him anymore. He just fills the forms and gets the required documents as and when its required. Even my in-laws are baffled. They don't understand how it can be this complicated.

I swear to God, when I finally get my NOA2, I will shout from the rooftop. I'm getting mad antsy.

K -- Has your husband bought his ticket yet? Or are you waiting for the interview to be approved so as to not "jinx it" in any way?
