DS 2001
Folks:
I am supposed to fill and send out my DS 2001 to my lawyer. I have a bunch of questions. I would really appreciate if someone would answer the questions
* Is the DS 2001 two pages or One Page- Two Sided form
* Do I have to file DS 2001 for my spouse or only for primary
* Do I have to check mark all the relevant boxes on DS 2001 ( such as Passports, PCC, Military Record, Birth Certifcate etc)
* On the second page there is a section for " Case Number ( From Address Label) ". Is this the case number which NVC assigns your application. I spoke with NVC and I got my case number.
* My case number begins with BMB1231231243. My CP Post is Mumbai. Do case # assigned to Mumbai begin with BMB.
* Does the DS 2001 from immihelp any different then what one gets from NVC.
Look forward to your replies.
Thanks,
Bapa

one more update onthe case
Called NVC to make sure everything is going okay.
Eventhough my wife's name was included in the Beneficiary-list, they insisted me to FAX THE MARRIAGE-CERTIFICATE.
Faxed the marriage-cert, and called them back (luckily i got the same operator) and verified that they recd it.
Waiting for the review to be done...
hopeful for Nov interview , and optimistic for Dec interview...

Re: Nov-Dec interview dates
1.You could send your wife before interview as PCC is valid for an year.
2.With my understanding of last four month schedules, EB interviews were always after 15th. It could be same for dec hopfully.
3.You have 3 working days left after 31st dec... Technically should be sufficient..

Re: Re: Re: Nov-Dec interview dates
Hi localmadras
if u mentioned "spouce accompanied" in your packet 3 then you and your wife have to come together, instead she can spend time before the interview.
i dont know correct answer for the second question but while i was looking at some others dates in this same forum i think if yours is completed by Sep 15th by NVC then u will be getting the Nov. interview i think and this is just my guess by looking in this forum and in cptracker.

Re: Nov-Dec interviews
thanks sanjna/chad/saradao
sanjna, can you please define "BEFORE"
a) should i inform the CONSULATE during the inteview-process
b) or should i send an EMAIL telling this
c) or ...
Also, when are the CUT-OFF dates for NOV-interview. Is it September-12 thru 15th ... !!
Does the POE matter. Seems like i cannot any tickets from Dallas-to-chennai & vice-versa.,
If i choose anyother airlines, i cannot choose DALLAS as my POE, it would be either, Detroit, Chicago, or L.A.
when i submitted my packet-3 way back in May 2002, i chose dallas.
now, the reality is i cannot get any tickets if i choose DALLAs....
please help.

Re: Re: Re: Nov-Dec interview dates
Hi local madras,
1. There are some instances in where it is clearly labled for spouses as "Should be accompanied by primary ..." on the packet issued after interview" so I guess both of you needs to travel tougether to avoid any hiccops at POE(atleast for your wife)
2. Chennai consulate should receive by 20th of september to get into Nov. schedules. Some cases are electnocally transfered which takes one day. Presently it looks it is taking around 5 days. So preferably it should be by 15th.

Question to Ravi
Hi Ravi,
Thanks for your input. Re DS230 Part I, there are two addresses mentioned in that (Item 10 & 11). I am thinking of giving my friend's address who lives in a Home. Because I am not sure how long I will be in my current address. What did you do? Any inputs on this will be great.
