Do I need to apply for my wife's SSN separately or it is sent without me applying for it? Reason I am asking this is because there was a section on the DS230 that asked whether I wanted her SSN to be mailed. Any experiences on this?

Thanks Alren.. :)

Guys: I reached the US yesterday (3rd Oct) evening. POE: Newark. No problems at all at POE. I travelled by Alitalia and did NOT need a transit visa. I personally dnt think you need a transit visa if you have the Immigration visa packet with you. Thanks to all for replying anyway :-)

hay94541: No, haven't got any replies. :-(

Hi all, I have all visas cancelled on my passport and I have the IV packet with me. Do I need a transit visa for Paris/Frankfurt/London/Amsterdam while travelling to the US now?

Congratulations Alren...all the best for a smooth POE. :)

sm_delhi: The letter from the consulate indicating that you require PCC from local police will be included in Packet 4 only. You will have to wait till you get packet 4 (either through post or you collecting it personally when it is ready at the consulate). You needn't worry too much abt...

We got our Immigration visa on June 2nd. We noticed that on the visa paper for my wife, the consulate has put both names - her maiden (full name) and below that her name post marriage. Her passport bears her maiden name and therefore throughout the GC process we used her maiden name. We...

vm1214: The letter is what is required by the US consulate. However, I am pretty sure they would have put a stamp saying something like '..endorsement..PCC issued...' on one of the pages of the passport. She doesn't have to bothered about that stamp though. DBM: To find out who issues...

sm_delhi: You should get the PCC for the place you have been staying in Delhi. I suppose the place that you have been staying hasn't changed for the past 12 years. No need to get the PCC from Kerala.

DBM, PCC is issued for locations where you have stayed for more than 6 months (i think). Considering that, I would say ideally you should have the PCC from the Indian consulate in the US. Given that you may not be able to do that now (unless you travel back and get it??), I would say the...

Ash, We needed both set of photos as mentioned by KAT02. Frontals for Medicals and Side postures for Immigration visa. I would suggest go with whatever is mentioned in the packet. If you have read my experience, there is a photographer inside the consulate hall. Therefore, even if there is...

our interview was on 3rd May and we were asked for side posture photos. Mind you this new requirement came up on the site later (I think).

The notarized employment letter is needed only at the time of the interview. No, the Attorney does NOT have to mail you a Notarized copy of the AC140 application. But it is a good practice to have a copy of the application with onself.

Yes, when the PCC is issued from the RPO, the passport is stamped. However, when the PCC is issued from the Police, the passport is not stamped.

Got the visa yesterday :) (a month after the interview date) Submitted the PCC from police in the morning. I was given a blue chit with "IV" and my case # written and asked to return at 12:15. We thought we would get the visa then. They just took the blue chit from me at 12:15 and then...

cpzinga: Thanks. My interview was on 3rd may and our visas were kept on hold just becoz of PCC. I just have to submit the PCC and get the visas.

Got the PCC from CID today. It took about a month and a lot of phone calls and talking in Marathi that quickened the process (I think :-)).

Ash, Congratulations!!! All: I just got our PCC from CBI today. Plan to go to the consulate next week (Tue-Wed, assuming Mon is a holiday on account of Memorial day). The consular officer did tell me that only one of us needs to come with the PCC. Does anybody know if they issue the...

Affidavits with School/College LC will work. Colleges do provide a duplicate but it usually takes around 10-15 days, so plan around that.
