***Confirmed*** - August Chennai Consulate Appointments - Track Here!

congrats

Congrats tagretgc and pujpran....

Did you have your stocks listed in I-134?. Please give some info on providing the list of stocks. Did you attach a sperate sheet listing the stocks?. Is fidelity monthly statement enough as proof?

Also, Did you have your attorney signed in your I-134 ( if it was prepared by him)?. He sent me the flled I-134 in eemail and told me to take a print out, sign it infront a notary and get it notarized. I don't have his sign in the column for the signature on the person who has prepared the document. He just have typed his name and address and he said, it's fine not to have his signature and my signature and notary public's sign is what important. Is this fine?.

Thanks.

i have seen your numerous postings regarding I-134, they really dont care a whole lot for this if you are employment based and your salary requirement is above poverty level, so quit worrying about your assets, just take your bank statement and fidelity, whether you have 1 million or 100,000 does not really matter as long as you have a valid employment offer which is above poverty level
 
passport question!

hi all,

do you know if chennai requires the passport has to be amended to show the spouse name ( for the husband) ? I saw something to that effect for the wife ( for maiden name thing) on immihelp.com, and wanted to know if anyone knows more about it.

thanks!!
 
Question after interview

Thanks to this group for sharing 'loads' of info.. Thanks much for creating such a nice discussion board. i had a succesfull interview last week at chennai. Got a packet at home from consulate.. Wonder if i could open the packet? I need to get my Passport for the travel back. Anybody who has gone thru this, could u please enlighten me on this.. I will be calling the consulate tomorrow to know about this..

Thanks
 
depends on which packet

congrats! Please take the time and share your interview experience.

as for the packet, the sealed packet consulate gives you is NOT to be opened by you - the POE INS officers will do it for you. Maybe other CPers can answer, but ofcourse, the bluedart packet will contain the CP packet..

Re: Re: cpnvc talk to travel agent or defjam

Hi XML,

You mentioned you had to show "IV" several times on your return to SFO. Did you mean packet 4 ? Does'nt the consulate just provide a sealed envelope ? Is there anything other documents or stamping they provide that can be shown to them?

Also, does the consulate cancel the h1-b visa on the passport after successful CP?

Thanks,
ckv

This is what happened to me (starting from SFO airport!). My visa on the passport had expired (I had an extension approval with me) and that caused a lot of trouble. At every step I had to explain and show the extension approval (in addition to taking off my shoes for scanning)! I really had a tough time. Some people just didn't understand. They would call their supervisor and make a big deal out of it...Even while coming back to SFO (via Singapore/Hong Kong), I had to show the IV several times. And be prepared to take off your shoes...

thanks, ckv. however, chennai consulate mailed me informing that it's not a requirement. so I decided to postpone a trip to NY.

I had a smooth POE at SFO 29th Aug. I asked the immigration officer about the change of address. He said that I should try not to change address. Is there any known impact of this in receiving the plastic card ?
