Category EB2

4 Questions for the group:
----------------------------------
- Is it better to have a Medical report done in the US with a qualified MD (with immunization records etc) and have it certified in Chennai?
- Is anyone getting sailing permits? If so how?
- Is a Birth Certificate issued by an Indian hospital suffice?
- How many days in advance do we get to Chennai? [since the Medical report in “packet-4” supposedly says, Lister to be done 3 days in advance and Medical test be done 2 days in advance]

Let me know your thoughts on these items. Regards.
 
Sailing permit is not mandatory. Iam not taking it. Tax transcripts for the last three years are required.

IRS9003 is NOT required..check below memo
Check http://chennaicp.tripod.com for intv experiences and for other details

SPECIAL EMBASSY PROGRAM
DUSHANBE POUCH
UNCLAS STATE 094440



E.O. 12958: N/A

TAGS: CVIS

SUBJECT: IRS Form 9003 No Longer Required

Neither INS nor IRS is collecting IRS Form 9003 ("Additional Questions to be Completed by All Applicants for Permanent Residence in the United States") from those applying for entry at POEs with an IV or DV. NVC and KCC do not include IRS Form 9003 in the Packet 4 mailing. Effective immediately, consular officers no longer need to collect this form from IV/DV applicants and include it in the packet for INS. Applicants should not be refused 221(g) for lack of an IRS Form 9003. FAM note 42.33, PN5.2 has been corrected to omit Form 9003 from the list of documents to be included in the IV packet.

It helps if you have immunizations done here and take a copy of the records. Many doctors in chennai will accept a US vaccination record. You will have to undergo the rest of the medicals in Chennai, no exceptions.
Sailing permits are not required.
Birth certificate issued by hospital IS NOT SUFFICIENT.
Advisable 5-6 days before interview, depending on what day of the week is the interview. For example if interview is Tuesday, you should do Lister on Thursday/Friday, Medicals on Friday/Saturday. If interview is on Friday, do Lister on Mon/Tue/Wed, Medicals on Tue/Wed/Thu. It is advisable to have 1-2 days gap between medical and interview. Sometimes the doctor requires X-ray redone.
 
Thanks for all your replies.

>Birth certificate issued by hospital IS NOT SUFFICIENT.
Do you know what other forms of Birth Certs are acceptable (Usually Indian Embassy in the US sometimes issues Birth Certs based on Passport)?

Further, with regards to Police Clearance certificates for India - I should be good with the one issued by Indian Embassy in the US right? Local certs are not required?
 
For this living in the U.S., police clearence from the Indian Consulate in US is ONLYrequired. I have read this in all other posts, clarified with my lawyer and even checked with the Chennai U.S. Consulate.

Regarding birth certificates, as my copy was a bit faded, I had a new one arranged for in Madras. My family got it done at the Corporation and it was no problem. I think they paid Rs. 22 per copy and got it in one day. If anyone is intersted, I can find out the details from Madras and post. This applies I think only to those born in Madras.
 
Recent CP at chennai

Just saying thanks to the wonderful forum for the exensive information available.

I had my interview on 24th OCt and it was pretty much same as described earlier in the forum.

Some new info:

Dr. Vijayalakshmi and Dr.Rajkumar both are good the latter being relaxed and friendly.

Konica lab near Lister and Embassy does excellent job for photos.

On the actual interview day, no one provided us list to arrange the documents as mentioned earlier in the forum. Last minute we haphazardly arranged them in no particular order and submitted them and it hardly matters.

In addition to the Indian officer verifying the document we had a consular officer (Phirangi) doing a brief interview with most applicants. He did let me go without an interview when I mentioned I am physician ( only one of the perks of being a physician).Will be happy to answear questions.
thanks.
 
I-134 needs to be notorized by a US notary.
One employement letter is suffiecient and it has to be notarized. Employement letter should mention the position, pay scale.
 
What is "Lister"

Please can someone clarify, what is "Lister"???

Saw it in an earlier posting in this thread- was mentioned in conjunction with Medical.

Thanks,
Amit
