fee hike

I have received an additional letter from the consulate stating that the fee for immigrant visa is $335 from June 1st. Is this fees in addition to $260 that we have already paid? Has anyone received the same type of letter.
 
Where does it say (other than Srifix list) to get this notarised?

Hi guys,

I am confused about getting the employment letter notarised. Nowehere in the packet 4 does it ask for getting it notarised? Please advise me if you can with this. I am leaning towards not getting it notarised. Is there anyone else NOT getting it notorised.
 
I am in the same dillemma.

What did you find out about the employment letter being notarised or not? I haven\'t come accross any official document that has asked for getting this notarised. Please let me know what you found about this? I am planning to go without getting it notarised. What about you?
 
Here it is in the Packet IV

Check "Appointmet letter for Immigrant Visa Applicants".
Then check the 2nd bullet in the 2nd column under Evidence of Support. There it mentions "notarized employment letter".

Let me know if you see it.

To my understanding, the old $325 = $260 + $65, per applicant. What is not clear is which fee the hike covers.

1) If $260 was hiked to $270, we need to submit a DD for $10, one
   DD per applicant.

2) If $65 was hiked to $75, we need to submit one DD per applicant
   of $75 each.

Which is it?
 
You might have paid here

I think $260 you might have paid here and will it be applicable to guys who paid here too? Thanks
 
Packet 4

My interview date is June 20th at Chennai, however I have not received Packet 4 yet.

I emailed the Chennai Consulate and they told me to just download the forms from the website. I got the forms and the information on the medical tests from the website. However, I do not know the list of documents that they need and the amounts and number of DD\'s that they need.

Could someone PLEASE fax me or email me the relevant pages from their Packet 4 so I know what documents to collect?

My fax number is (609) 419-7113 and my email address is pari_sanghavi@yahoo.com

Thanks a million...
 
No Title

Yes, many of us went thru the "new" process wherein we paid the
$260 fee to NVC, per applicant.

Even for the "old" process, don\'t you need to submit separate DDs
for $260 and $65? In this case, which fee went up by $10?
 
Revised Consular Service Fees from June 1, 2002

I looked up for some information on the web and this is what I found.
It is in the Federal Registers.

They have made one immigrant application fees of $335 in lieu of two. (Application fees $260 and Visa Issuance fees $65.)

Old Route Persons : One fee of $335
New Route (Already paid $260) : Pay an additional $75 at the Consulate.

This is what I interpreted from the Federal Register contents.

Go to Immigrant Visa Services section. It is clearly stated there.
I have provided the link below.

in the same boat

I am in the same boat too. Didn\'t receive packet4. Can someone who has received packet 4 for June interviews post the list of documents that they have requested for in packet 4.
  Specifically, do we need IRS9003 form as my lawyer is saying we don\'t need to file it anymore.
 
Local PCC requirement

Looks like local PCC is required. A friend of mine attended his interview at Mumbai on 22nd and they asked for it. He didn\'t have it and is now trying to get one and attend the interview again.
He said couple other folks also had the same problem.
Don\'t know about chennai.

Help Please !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

MY interview date is June 25th at Chennai consulate. I haven\'t recieved my Packet 4 at my local Indian Address. I am very much worried, as I dont know what documents to take and what amount of DD to make. coolpman30 or anyone, can you please email me a copy of the relevant papers of packet 4 ? . My email address is o_khaja@hotmail.com and my fax number is 313-845-2378. Your help will be appreciated.
Thanks
 
hidefrmyou - At the bottom of your approval notice you should have a new I-94 with the same expirat

date as that of your approval notice.
 
check the Chennai consulate web-site

The web-site has the generic Pkt 4 saved as pdf documents. I believe that the actual documents are more or less the same as those except that the actual documents contain a cover letter addressed to the beneficiary informing him/her about the interview time/date.

Don\'t worry, you will receive them in time. Best of luck!
