Chennai Jan/Feb 2005 Interview

hey raju,
were the 3-4 monthly statements acceptable even though the form said you should have a letter from the bank?
Did the consulate ask you for this letter?
and also how much $$$ should one have in the bank....unfortunately most of my funds are in stocks, 401K and Roth IRA with little or no money in the savings or check account.....is that a problem?
thanks

If it is easy to obtain the letter from the bank then take it, along with the
3 or 4 monthly statements.

In my case I did not bother about the letter. I just took three statements
that were downloaded from the bank's website.

First I want you to note that my interview was on 23rd May 2003.

For me they did not ask for any other document than what I carried.
Actually I carried 3 monthly statements. There is no specified balance that
needs to be shown in the account. As long as you can show that you
are receiving your salary on a regular basis, that is OK.

You can also show information about your stocks.

Thanks Raju. If we mark yes to 33(a) then we will get the new card with same SSN but the work with INS Authorization removed. Correct me if I am wrong.

Raju595 said:
The actual structure of the question is as follows:
***********
33 (a) Have you ever applied for Social Security Number (SSN) ?
Give the number __________________
Do you want the Social Security Administration to assign you an SSN (and issue a card) or issue you a new card (if you have an SSN)? You must answer ‘Yes’ to this question and to the ‘Consent to disclosure’ in order to receive an SSN and/or card?
******

In your case since you would have a SS Number you should say 'Yes' to the
first part, then provide the SS number below.

You should also say 'Yes' to the later part of the question because you would
be seeking a 'New Card' with the same old SS number.

You should also say 'Yes' to 33 (b).

Raju,
You are absolutely right - I had my interview last month (Jan 2005) and I did not carry any letter from the bank. All I carried were 3 months of the statements the bank send me monthly.

I concur with Raju.

I also did not bother to take the bank letter. As a matter of fact none of the evidence for 134 was asked from me.
 
Successful CP Interview in Jan.

Et all,

I am very very Sorry for the late response... I tried once from India...after I typed everything, they lost power at the cyber cafe and that's it :mad: ... I know there won't be any excuses..but still...

As everyone explained already about their interview experiences, I don't have anything to say. But if anyone of you have questions, I can certainly answer those.

Dr.V suggested me to take MMR as I got smallpox/chicken pox during my childhood. She only charged Rs750 per person. She told me that there is no need to carry x-ray's to the interview... coming to interview, though I have carried last three years tax transcripts, they only took last year one (ie 2003)... same with bank statements also. Interview was cool too...at the interview, the American guy asked me about my DOB and the company location...nothing else.... but I had to wait till 12.45 as he put my file inside his office and forgot ..

Our POE was cool too at JFK yesday.. he only took my right index finger print twice..

Once again sorry for not posting my experience earlier than this. Hope you guys understand my position :-(

Regards,
Jeet
 
Welcome Letter

To All,

I received the welcome letter for my wife and son and also received the plastic card for my son yesterday. When I checked the status of my wife's plastic card, it says the 'approval' has been sent out.
 
Next Step

Hi CP Guru's,

Please can any one of you advise me what to do next.

My I140 is approved on FEB 9th 2005. My I140 application was filed on July6th, 2004.

Do I need to send anydocuments to my attorney ?

How do I know that my case is created in NVC ?. Isthere any number to check the status ?.

How can I know my case number in NVC ?.

Appreciated your help.

Thanks,

Thanks for the info SNM.

Clue_gc,

If you know when your labor applicaiton was submitted, then you will know whether the PD is affecting you or not.

As far as I know, you need not to send any documents to your attorney at this stage. But no harm to check with your attorney :)

You can check with NVC whether they have created a case for you or not. The number you can call is : 603-334-0700.

Jeet
 
I received 3 welcome letters for myself and 2 for my wife yesterday. If only USCIS could save this money, they could have more money in their budgets to employ additional resources to process applications quickly ;) :eek:
 
Info

Hi Jeet0404,
