But the transcripts are without any IRS stamp. The transcripts look like a plain printout from a notepad/word document.

Just wanted to make sure, that this is normal.

Thanks !

That is pretty normal. There will not be any letter heads or
seals.

Raju. Thank you.
Could you also answer questions 1 & 3 in the above post ?.

In case I do not get P4 on time where can I download it fro?. The P4 download from chennai consulate website has OF-230 part 2 instead of DS230 Part2.

Thanks again

Which one should I use while sponsoring my wife ?.

{If your's is an employment based IV, then you would use
I-134. The form I-864 is for family based cases and few
employment cases (where the owner of the company is
related to you) }

Also I see Of232 Part 2 under packet 4.

Where would I find DS-230 part 2. I remember I filled DS230 part1 along with Packet 3.

{You would have submitted DS 230 Part 1 with Packet 3.
Carry a copy of that again with you to the intervew. Apart
from that carry a filled DS 230 Part II WITHOUT SIGNING,
to the interview. YOu would sign this in the presence of
of the Consular officer. You can download the form from th
e web}

Finally, the Affidavit of Support form has 2 pages, Is it ok to print each page in separate sheets or has it to be printed on a sigle page ?.

{two pages is fine}

Gurus, Please help.

Thanks

Hi,

Can anybody advise how to get hold of the W2 for 2000 ? I misplaced the W2 and was wondering if I could get another copy from IRS ??

Thanks in advance,

W2 is issued by the employer NOT BY IRS. I guess you can contact your previouse employer to get a copy of your prior year W2. As far as I know IRS does not issue replacement/any kind of W2.

Agree with the above post. The employer should be able to
obtain a copy of that particular W-2.

Some of the payroll companies ( ADP is an example) give access
to their web site from where you can download the W-2. Check
whether this is possible.

If you used taxcut to file your returns, you shold be able to print out W2 information.
 
Requesting packet 4 to Address in India

How can I request packet 4 to be send to my address in India.
Would it be sufficient to send an e-mail request to the consulate in this regard?. What would happen If they already have mailed P4 to my US address ?

My interview is scheduled to be in November.

Appreciate your inputs.

Sending the email request is the normal way. You can still
try and see whether it is possible to have the Packet 4 at
your Indian address.

If it is sent to US address it would normally reach you, a
little close to your journey date. They will only send the
appointment letter. (the rest of the papers are not really
important and can be down loaded from web)

If necessary it is also possible to send someone you know
to the Consulate and collect a duplicate 'appointment letter'.
Just in case, research on this topic.

But try the email first, since they may not have mailed the
packets yet!

Mispelled names in Birth Certificate!!

hi,

my wife's birth cerficate has names of her parents mispelled. Instead of 'Moorthy', it was written as 'Murthy'. But all other documents other than her BC has 'Moorthy'.

I am going to get an Affidavit of Birth, regarding this mispelling.

Is there anybody with the same situation? And if they had already gone through the Interview, was the immigration officer keen about it?

Also, my name was never expanded in my school and college certifactes. All other documents after I went to the USA has the expanded name. Is this something i should worry about?

Please reply.
My interview date is on Nov. 20 category EB3

Thanks

{Don't worry about this. This is very common in India. I have
had similar experience, not with the names but with the
place of birth.

This is not a case of misspelling but a different way of spelling.

In the affidavit just mention the other spelling as 'also
spelt as 'xxxxxxx' '.

Ex: Narayana Moorthy (also spelt as 'Murthy') . The consulate
people would see these kind of things on almost daily basis}

{No problem. They will not ask to see any of your educational
certificates or papers}

I agree with Raju. The consular posts are very much familiar with the local situations. That is why they employ local staff, for document verification.
 
Police Clearance

I have obtained PCC from Indian Consulate ( NewYork). Is it required to get the same from the Indian Regional passport office and the local Indian District Police ?

My spouse is staying in the US for the last 4 months, and she got her PCC too from NewYork Consulate. Is it required for her also to obtain PCC from Indian Passport office ,and the local district police in India ?

Please suggest !
 
If your spouse has stayed at least one year overseas, then he/she needs to get the PCC only from the local Indian Consulate. Anything less than 1 year, he/she has to get the PCC from the Regional police as well as from the regional passport office.
