sarawgt1 said:Thanks for your previous replies. I have another question, as I wait to hear of the interview date.
I found out that my case has been forwarded to the Mumbai consulate on August 17. Is checking the monthly interview schedule on the consulate website the only way to know of the interview date? When does the consulate send a personal notification? Any sort of timeframe indication would be very helpful.
At what point can you call or email the embassy to ask?

HI Rkrishna,rkrishna22 said:Hi All,
I had a successful interview @ Chennai on 13th April, 2006 and got the passports back @ my address in India on 18th April and breezed through Port of Entry @ SFO on 19th April without any issue.
I will post detailed experience in a while. But, my thanks to this forum and everyone that contributes to this forum. This forum has been great in my understanding of the whole process and to expect what comes next.
Thanks!!

Congratulations for the successful journey of GC
I will appreciate if u can help.I have few doubts. NVC has received my fee bill and I hope they will issue the Pkt 3 soon. Can I complete the DS 230-1 for me and my wife (downloaded forms) and complete and sent it to Lawyer.Does my lawyer has to copy the whole things again or he can just send my completed forms? Do I have to include the affidavit of support for my wife along with the packet 3. If yes can you please tell me which form it will be? Also if the passport was renewed last year do we have to include the copies of old passports also.
Thanks in advance.

Thanks!! You can download DS-230 Part-I, complete the details and keep it ready. You attorney would actually send you DS-230 partially filled-up with whatever info they have. You would check the Attorney's forms with your (kept ready) and send the attorney's back with all the info. Attorneys would create a fair copy and send one copy for your records. You can keep DS-230 Part-II also ready for your filing at the consulate. Part-II is not ready for NVC records. Also, affidavit of support is not needed for NVC. You can keep it ready though, without notarizing. When you are ready to go for interview, you can date it and get it notarized. Hope this helps.
Best of luck!!
