Going by what is stated in the US consulate web site regarding
PCC, she would not need another PCC from India.

She satisfies the stipulation of 'current resident of USA'.

I concur with Raju.

If you are currently not staying in India, but in United States, you do not need to get the police certificate from local police station nor regional passport office in India. In that case, you can get a police clearance from your local Indian consulate. They do it on the basis of a passport check.

This is a document issued by the embassy/consulate certifying that you have never been involved with the Indian police. The normal procedure for issuing a PCC is that the embassy/consulate checks with the police authorities in the area(s) in India where you had been residing, and issues the PCC after obtaining their clearance.

My interview is scheduled for Feb 18th, 8 A.M
Category EB2.
Yet to schedule medicals .

Is IRS 9003 part of necessary documents?

EA.
 
IRS 9003 or sailing permit is not required ...and i would say no longer even recommended. In fact, IRS officials do not even know what you are talking about when you say sailing permit/ irs 9003. Just carry IRS TRanscripts and W-2..thats should be sufficient!
 
I have one question while preparing the documents ...

Should I staple the documents together or leave at as individual pages. For example DS-230?

DO NOT STAPLE any papers. They should be arranged in the order prescribed by the leter that your get in packet 4. Definitely do not staple it.
 
Where do I get DS230 Part 1 & 2 (my copy) for interview

All:

My docs were fwd to Consulate-Chennai on 7th Jan. Hoping for a date in mid-march.

I have seen in several posts, about required documents for CP interview, that I need to carry DS230 Part 1 (copy) and Part 2 (original - unsigned). As far as I can recollect, my wife and myself had first filled one copy of these forms (by hand), sent to lawyer, then he sent us a typed copy of these forms, we signed these and returned it to him. In this whole process, were we supposed to have kept one copy with us? Or will these docs come back to us when we get Packet 4. Worst case, can my lawyer reproduce these documents if I screwed up somewhere????

Same is the case for the Affidavit of Support I-134.

Thanks in advance.
 
sb245491:

You can ask your attorney for a photocopy of ds 230 part i and ii. ALthough this is a required documetn for the interview...the consulate has a copy of it and hence is rarely asked for at the time of the interview.

AS far as i-134 download it from the net and fill it and get it notarized from a notary public in usa prior to leaving for india.
 
KD,
If we are in india, we can't get I-134 notarized from a notary public in USA. I think we need to leave it filled and sign in front of consul officer while interview. Am I right?

You are right,Chennai consulate officer can do notarization of I-134 at the time of interview or before.They just need your passport and employment letter.
 
when is consulate going to post feb interview schedule ??

I thought they post if around the 15th of every month.. I just checked it this morn(19th), and its still not posted.
anyone have any idea why ??? I still havent received Pkt4, so I'm just going by what the email from consulate said abt my interview date... it would have been nice , if I was able to check it against the official posting in their web site...

19th Jan is holiday for the US Consulate in Mumbai (Dr. King's B'day). Hopefully, they would post this week.
 
timeframe for plastic card depends on POE ???

does anyone know if the POE plays a role in determining the timeframe for receiving the plastic cards ???

My POE is going to be cincinatti, although I am eventually going to Hou. (delta goes thro Cincinatti, apparently ) .. Will this cause a delay in receiving the plastic cards as compared when coming direclty to Hou ???
 
prash:

There is no established trend between POE and time it takes to get the physical GC.

BTW...my POE was cincinnati and I got Welcome letters and physcial GC in 13 days ...if thats helps!
 
transit visa for paris

My delta flt goes via Paris (hou-Paris-Bbay ) and am wondering if I need to take a transit visa for the transit in paris..

I am on a H1-B status with a valid visa stamp that expires only in Feb 2006.. Do I still need to take a transit visa??? I'm assuming no...
 
I called the NVC automated status and they said that my case was completed on Jan. 12th (I submitted my packet 3 on Dec. 13). For this, my lawyer was saying that it means my case has been sent to consulate in India. Does it say this message? If that is the case, I am thinking that I might have the date in mid or end of march. Can anyone send the madras consulate website, so that I can track the appointment dates....

Thanks.

Got the website...

Thanks. I got the website. But, can anyone say what does "You case was completed on Jan. 12th" mean? Does it mean, it was sent to Indian consulate.... I am thinking that they might have a better status message.

Thanks
