I don't assume anything. It is better to be prepared for any eventuality, especially in today's environment.

Thanks for the replies. As a new PR, my concern is the paperwork we may have to carry to avoid problems upon re-entry. After carrying H-1 approval notice, paychecks etc. during travel outside the US for the last several years (just in case), I was hoping that there would be less paperwork...

For H-1B, we surrender the I-94 at the airline counter; INS can determine the date we left the US. For plastic GC holder, is the card swiped at the airline counter? Is any info forwarded by the airline to the INS? If not, how does the INS verify the length of time a PR spent abroad when...

Thank you!  

Thank you! Thank you for your help. My consulate is Chennai. Don\'t know if they do this (letting you know if the interview will be in the next month by the 5th itself) but I\'ll check.

Since we don\'t know exactly which month the interview will be scheduled until about the 15th of the previous month, is the only option to confirm the tickets now and canceling later if your case was not scheduled? This is an expensive option ($300 cancellation fee per ticket). And it\'s...

restating question...... Since April interviews have some MDR2002 cases and these are numbered MDR2002017???? etc., do people with case numbers                 ^^^ MDR2002400???? and MDR2002500???? etc. have to...

Checking the appointments for March and April, looks like cases starting with MDR2002--- are few (perhaps because most of the MDR2002 cases are being processed by NVC under the new process). Question: Since the MDR2002 cases that have been scheduled have case numbers like MDR2002017---...

No Title Would it be useful to ask Chennai to provide an estimate of expected EB2/3 interview totals in June?

Question re:PCC What about a person who has lived in the USA less than 1 year? Does (s)he need to get a PCC from an Indian police station/authority or is the PCC from the Indian Consulate in the US sufficient?

Thanks dodda100...  

No Title The historical pattern has been that Chennai schedules interviews as follows: If your P3 was entered into their system before the 15-18th day of a month, your case "made" the deadline, which meant that your interview would be announced on the 10-12th day of the...

If your P3 has been received by Chennai Consulate... ...Please help us by posting: P3 mailed date: P3 received date: Case entered into system: Interview date: (if Consulate mentioned it) Thank you very much for your help!

No Title sksquare, (i) When was your package mailed to Chennai (date)? (ii) When was it received by Chennai? (iii) Does (ii) mean that Chennai has entered the data into their system? (Did you confirm this) (iv) Did they give you a possible interview date? Thanks for your help!

P3 Created Jan 28 - Status Anyone whose P3 was created Jan 28 but not received P3 yet? NVC operator said that he cannot say whether P3 has been mailed or not, only that it was created. Did anyone else get the same response?

Does the Houston Consulate call you to let you know if the clearance has taken place and they need the original passport to issue the PCC? (if photocopies of the passport were sent initially with the application for PCC) The person who answers the phone at the Consulate said that this would...

Check out the relevant thread GK2001 "New Revalidation Times at St. Louis (Jan 02, 2002 onwards)" 1/3/02 1:37pm

NewDude: Revalidation is taking 12 weeks minimum. Due to anthrax problems (some passports are being held for decontamination), extra security checks, holidays etc. etc., the processing time is increasing. Worst case: I\'ll have to fax DOS to return my PP without revalidation if I need it for P3...

Arun: The new process is not idle speculation. It is based on an official communication from DOS (should be available by searching this forum or the Internet/DOS site) and through checking directly with NVC operators. However, it seems to apply only to I-140s that were received recently by the...
