Confirmed Chennai February 2004 Appointments

Generally they ship the packet the next day of Interview. So it will be 27th in your case.
They don't ship it on the same day (interview day).

At Chennai consulate, Blue Dart picks up the Visa packets the
day of the interview in the evening.

I have received my packet the next day at 1.30PM in the city of
Chennai. They also deliver to some cities like Hyderabad,
B'lore in one day.

Unless this timeline has changed in recent months, I would
still say that the packet leaves the Consulate the day of
the interview.

approval papers - blue dart

Hi

My native place is village close to Amalapuram (Andhra pradesh). Blue dart does not have any branches near by also.
- What do they do for addresses which are not covered by Blue dart ?
- do they send it by registered post ? or
- what are my other best options ?
- Do I personally need to be there at the address to receive or an authorized person at my home can receive the packet with an authority letter???


Please suggest ???


Thanks in advance

{This is common to almost all the courier companies in India.
In small places where they do not have branches they would
have tie ups with a local courier company and the deliveries in such places are done by the partner company. This can result in
delay of 1 day or so. You can actually call Blue Dart and find out}

{You don't need to be there. But they will normally ask for
some identification from the person taking delivery}


Please suggest ???


Thanks in advance

My wife is currently in india, she got her PCC from Passport office in september 10th and PCC from local police sometime int October. Howlong the PCC obtained in India is valid? I know the one from Indian Consulate here in US is valid for 6 months ...
 
thanickel,

Wherever you take, same rules apply as long as validity is concerned.

In your case (for you and your wife), if you have taken them after August 26th, 2003 - you don't have any problem.

Since you have all PCCs that are issued after aug 26th, they are valid for your interview (feb 26th)

I absolutely concur with cpzinga. You & your wife are both in good shape as far as PCC is concerned!
 
Thank you cpzinga and kd.

BTW, Do I need any document other than passport, photos, vaccination records and medical exam form for lister labs and dr. vijayalakshmi.
 
thanickel:

All the documents that you mentioned plus the appointment letter to prove that you have a scheduled appointment and that you are really doing the medicals for the immigrant visa.

At least in mumbai breach candy hospital they had specifically asked for the appointment letter and in my case it was checked.
 
timeframe to receive pkt4

When does the consulate send out pkt 4 ?? after the appt has been posted on their website or before ??? I still havent received mine yet.. I am scheduled for Feb19th..
 
prash:

Normally p4's are mailed around 6-8th of the month. And candidates receive it around 29th-30th of that month. So you can expect your p4 by end of this week or latest by mid next week!

Just in case your p4 does not come to your address in usa then you / yoru folks can always pick it up from the consulate or you can call the consulate and have them mail it to your address in india!
 
Bangaloreman had successful intv on 27th. He has mentioned few things that are very important. I am giving them below.

"A note for the future candidates, please carry your W2's, pay stubs and bank statement(the one that comes in the mail) with you. Photographs are accepted from Foto India ONLY. Do not waste time anywhere else. Thanks to GCSucks2003 for posting the information about Foto India. Everyone else was asked to redo their photos. The consulate guy was surprised that I had mine done at Foto India. Foto India is at the intersection of Kodambakkam High Road and Nungambakkam High Road. If you are staying at Palm Grove Hotel its walking distance from there."

Hope this helps to all...
 
got appt letter in US

I got the appt letter in my US addr.. It has just the appt letter and no enclosures.. Could someone tell me what information/forms are contained in the whole packet(as when its sent to an Indian addr instread of a US addr ). The consulate said they are havent sent it out to my local addr and I dont have anyone to go to the consulate to pick it up..
 
It has appointment cover letter (yellow one), appointment letter (form 171), DS form 230 part I and II, and medical cover letter.

I think you can download these from net...
 
All i got was the yellow cover letter , though it does mention my appt date and time.. Is there a seperate appt letter apart from this(171 , like u mentioned??) or is this 171 ??? .. Is it ok to take just this one for the medicals/lab and entry into consulate ??
My lawyer is getting the other forms ready.. so I guess I should be ok there...
