The fee has increased to 335, but if you have already paid the $260 to the NVC, you still have to pay the old fee and only $65 in issuance fees..

transit visa
defjam,
we need transit visa only if our visa stamped in the passport and/or I-94 is expired. Is that correct?. Does the same apply both for Germany and France?.

Should Employment Letter be notarized ?
I received the employment letter from my company which was not notarized. Also, it does not state when I joined the company. My company lawyer argues that it is ok and good enough in its existing format. I checked immihelp.com and it clearly mentions notarization of employment letter and the content needed.
I was wondering if you guys came across anything in this regard on the consulate website or any briefing made by consulate reflected in immigration websites. That way, I could use that to convince my company attorney.
Anyone else attending interview on Friday the 23rd ? ;-)

Re:employment letter...
Thanks for the response guys.. I am convinced my self about the Emp. letter content and notarization (more is better anyways).. but I am still wondering if there is any info on the chennai website regarding notarization (some sort of proof that I shove it in the face of the company attorney!)

packet 4's wish list clearly mentions that empl. letter has to be notarized. if you can't get a handle on packet 4 to show ur company try showing them the list in immihelp and tell them thats what the consulate dictates.
I had same problem with my bosses, they were not too eager to give me an empl. letter with the format I wanted and they were even more hesitant to go out of the way to notarize it, they kind of believed immihelp's list and finally issued me one in the prescribed format.
All the Best.

Thanks Gc_cper..
Thanks for the tip. Since my Packet 4 was supposed to be sent to my attorney in US, I do not have it yet. I have sent an email to Chennai Embassy and waiting for their response. If they do say that the letter needs to be notarized.. it is definately a slap on attorney's face.. (I would love that kodak moment).

Re: Thanks Gc_cper..
You dont need anything from Chennai to slap on your attorney's face. Here is the excerpt from the foreign affair manual that all consulates follow that explicitly states that employment letter needs to be notorized and exactly what it needs to state.
Thanks to brb for digging up this gem

Notorized employment letter
Hello guys,
correct me if iam wrong... If the company is not willing to give a notorized employment letter, that is fine. Let them just give a vanilla employment letter.
Any notary public can notorize the letter. Is that a right statement ?
my 2 cents...

Moulin.. brb.. u rule ! Thanks.
Thanks for the evidence.. very clearly explained. That should nail Mr. Company Attorney.
LocalMadras,
I am thinking that the person who signs the document may need to do so in front of the notary (atleast officially) as the notary attests the signature.

notorized empl. letter
If my memory serves me right, on page 3 of I-134(1st sheet of instuctions) they mention about a couple of documents as evidence of support and in it is mentioned the dreaded notorized empl. letter.
And as far as notarization goes the person issuing the letter has to sign in front of the notary, no notary will authenticate a signature without seeing that person.
