Congratulations! You must be really relieved.
One question....
Did you have to take a local Police Clearance Certificate from your home town or somewhere in India in addition to the one you get from the Indian Embassy in the U.S?
I got information from the forum that I don't need to get the local PCC, but my lawyer has been suggesting strongly, to get it from my home town in India.
Can you please shed some light on this.
thanks a lot!!!

Hi
Can anybody please tell me whether I-134 form is included in Packet 4 ??
No. I-134 is not included in packet 4.
Is it okay to use the form available in immihelp or do we have to use the original form (if any) sent by the consulate.
Yes. You can download the form from immihelp.com or from BCIS site (http://www.bcis.gov/graphics/formsfee/forms/index.htm) and click on I-134 (http://www.bcis.gov/graphics/formsfee/forms/i-134.htm). This form should be filled for all your dependents and notarized by a US notary ONLY. This form should be in your possesion for the CP interview in US Consulate.
Thanks.

CLARIFICATION REGARDING EMPLOYMENT LETTER
Hi Guys,
Congrats to those who have cleared the interview successfully!!
I just completed interview successfully at Mumbai...wanted to mention something quickly regarding employment letters:
1. If you are using an employment letter as an "evidence of financial stability", then it has to state that you are currently employed with the firm and the letter should be notarized.
Paystubs/ bank statements can be used instead of this..
2. If you are using an employment letter as an "affidavit of support" from an employer, then this letter should mention future employment with the firm and this letter NEED NOT be notarized.
I thought this might clear up some of the confusion regarding this issue.
Best Regards,
spulapak

collecting the courier at hotel
Hi May CPers..
Congratulations..for successful interviews.
I have a question for those who collected the courier at Hotels.
I am planning to stay in Crystal residency...
At what time the blue dart courier delivered your packet??
Did he come to the room (as per our address), or will he comes to reception and ask for us??
I just want to make sure that I should be available by the time the delivery person comes to the hotel..
Please let me know.
THanks,
Sam.

Re: collecting the courier at hotel
Irrespective of the hotel you stay in the courier will come to the
front desk and ask for you by name.
The boy who came to my hotel did not know what to ask. He made me open the consulate box ( the card board box contains
the passports and the sealed VISA Covers ). He compared the
passport photo with me.
Then he asked for receipt for courier fee. I told him that the Consulate does not give any receipt. He was hesitating and I firmly told him that the photo on the visa cover and the passport
are proof enough.
The time when they come obviously depends on the route they take but they normally arrive before 2.00PM, and make sure to be
available in the room.

Entered US on 8th June
I have arrived back in US today at about 6.00PM.
Came in on United Flight from London at San Francisco. Went to
the line marked New Immigrants. I was the only one.
Very minimum activity. The officer took the finger print at the
counter itself.
Asked me whether the information on the Visa is correct. I had
to point out that my middle name was interchanged (typed at
the wrong place).
The instruction sheet that came with the Visa stated that they
would not entertain correction of name interchanges. So at Chennai I did not refer back to the Consulate.
The officer at SFO corrected the name on the Visa document and
also enclosed a white correction sheet. He said based on that
the people inside would make the correction. He said I can expect
the card in about 3 months.
The whole process took 5 minutes. Actually faster than entry as
a H1B holder. From the time the plane landed it took 25 minutes for me to be in my rental car driving to my home.
By the way, the exit from Hyderabad International Airport was very smooth. Absolutely no questions asked.

Request for your opinion
Hi
Can you please give me your thoughts about my case....:
I had applied for my Greencard through my employer 3 years back and due to the lay-off's, my case was stuck at the labor department for a long time.
But luckily, last year they found a substitute labor certificate for me and my case started moving forward. And now I am waiting for my interview date from Chennai.
But in the mean while, I had applied for Canadian immigration, after I gave up hope for U.S greencard. As of now, I have a "entry" stamp on my passport from Canada. Do you think that that could cause some problem for me at the interview?
Also, since I am using a substitute labor certificate, do I need to take any additional documentation to my interview?
Thanks a lot for your time!!!
