Confirmed Chennai February 2004 Appointments

prash:

All you need is the appointment letter which should state your name (and any dependents) along with date/ time of the interview. This letter is also known as OF-171.

Yes you can use this letter for your medical interview and they should return it to u immediately after verifying details.
 
kd, Thank you for the info about required documents at the doctor & lab.

I received my Appointment letter here in Dallas on Tuesday! No Packet 4 though.

I have slightly changed my plan....

I am leaving US on 7th Feb
Going for Medicals on 17th Feb.
Interview on 26th Feb.

BTW, I will be in and around consulate on 18th as my parents are applying for the visitor visa there.
 
thanickel:

That sounds like a plan! All the best for your CP interview and even for your parents visitor visa interview!
 
kd, thanks!

If any of you got your Packet 4 in India, Could you please ask them to fax a copy of that to you here. If you fax me a copy I can host it on my website. Please let me know!
 
Hi Friends,
I had a chat with one of my friend (same employer) who went for interview at chennai 2 days before. He was asked to bring company financial information(w3 information). Which he didn't carry with him.

Just a FYI - for everyone preparing for Feb interview..
 
rdavidmaria:

So did this friend you are referring to .. did he get his CP approved or is it pending for company documents!

Did he say why they needed the company financials? Is your company small? Any hints with/ without disclosing company name would help the future candidates!!
 
His CP approval is still pending... They have asked him to furnish employer financials. Our company is a small one with (<50) employees i think!!! they are not disclosing the correct number to me.

Also, I came to know my friend is the first CP candidate from my employer in India(Chennai) eventhough many have got Green cards here by 485 route.
 
Last Question!

Guys,

I have a question in regard to pay cut which all of us took across company. When I applied for Labour/I-140 it was XK and now its X-10%K. Does it matter for CP processing? I have my interview on Feb 18th. My company is ready to give me employment letter with original Salary XK. Hope that is fine. Any thoughts much appreciated.
 
thanickel,

Which one of the packet 4 you want?
It has yellow sheet (cover letter), appointment letter (171) and DS 230 forms Part I and II.
It also has medical cover letter.

You don't have to be concerned about currently drawing salary that is 10% lower than the LC figure. You are fine as long as
you carry the letter from the Company promising you the
salary mentioned in the LC.

I am getting a little confused here.. Is the yellow cover letter different from the OF-171 ?? All I have is the yellow cover letter.. Dont have anyone to go pick up the whole pkt 4 from Mds... what should I do ??? Do I need the OF-171 , if its diff from the yellow letter ???
 
prash:

Calm down!!!

Dont focus on the yellow color coz i think yellow does not matter. The only important document which is in the packet 4 is your appointment letter which could be on white/ yellow/ blue/ or....any paper. In my case my appointment letter was on a RECYCLE crumpled white paper.

Appointment letter basically states in simple english that your appointment is scheduled for a specific date and specific time. It includes your and other dependents (if any) names who are scheduled for the interview. This appointment letter is LEGALLY known as OF-171. If you have this letter you are in good shape which i perceive you to be in good shape based on what you have written in your previous postings!

And only other document that may be considered important in that P4 is the listing of the documents that one needs to carry for the interview which is the link provided above.

Also the medical form which i guess you can download from any immigration web site eg check http://www.immihelp.com
 
I got a second appointment letter from my attorney! Which one should I take for the Interview? This is exactly same as mine other than the to address was my attorney's.
 
Thanickel:

Flip a coin! :D

You just need one for the interview between you and all your dependents (if any)! But just carry both of them!

Have you started filling forms?

Did any one fill I 134? I have some doubts in it...

Come out with your queries. Someone will help.

My questions in I134:

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------

"3. That this affidavit is executed in behalf of the following person:"

Who is the person here? Me or my dependents?
In the same section, it asks:
"Name of spouse and children accompanying or following to join person:"

Whose spouse and children?

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------

"7. That I am employed as, or engaged in the business of
(Name of concern) (Type of Business)
at (Zip Code) (State) (City) (Street and Number)"

Currently, I am working in an indian company. Shall I give details of that compnay?
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------

What to be entered in the table in section 8? If we have to fill one form for each dependent, why it has more rows?

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Though the form looks simple, things are really unclear.

{Enter the name and details of the dependent.
Each dependent will have a seperate form I-134}

In the same section, it asks:
"Name of spouse and children accompanying or following to join person:"

{Leave this blank. This section has probably not changed from
the time only one affidavit was submitted for several people}

Whose spouse and children?

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------

(Name of concern) (Type of Business)
at (Zip Code) (State) (City) (Street and Number)"

{At type of business, enter your position and then fill the
details of your current employer}
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------

What to be entered in the table in section 8? If we have to fill one form for each dependent, why it has more rows?

{Item 8 will list all your dependents. So you would have
the same information on all the I-134s you fill}

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Though the form looks simple, things are really unclear.
