Dear Sir/Madam,
My case number is MDRXXXXXXXXXX. June being a peak travel month, airtickets
are at a premium and I would appreciate if you could let me know when our
interview will be so we could book our tickets at the earliest. Please
reply. Thanks.



Rajeev Kumar

We will be in Chennai from 6/22 to 6/24. Where are you folks staying? Any recommendations from experienced CPers or Chennai localites? :confused:

Rajeev,
Congrats for getting the interview date. Hopefully we will know our dates tomorrow (They may update the website also!!).

Is your's EB2 or EB3??

Regds,
Sam.
 
Sam,

My category is EB2. Chennai may release the dates tomorrow. But the visa bulletin for june has not been released by DOS yet; so, we might see a delay too. If you email Chennai and ask nicely, I am sure they will give you your dates. I needed my date to make our travel plans-I am leaving Chicago on June20th-so I had to know before I could buy our tickets! In any case, I am sure most of us will know our dates by tomorrow!;)

Rajeev,
My friends also advised me the same hotel. I think it is good and nearby. I am also planning the same.

Have you taken the appointment for Medicals?? I am planning Dr. Rajkumar (we can complete both Medicals&lab the same day) or Dr. Vijayalakshmi.

Any suggestions??

Friends,

CONGRATS to all confirmed June CPers...mine is on June 25th

is it good idea to request Chennai consulate to prepone the interview date? did anyone in the past requested? I am planning to go to India on may 23rd...so wanna get my appt date as early as possible and come back. Any suggestions?

I am not discouraging you, but without some compelling reason
it might be difficult to convince the consulate.

We have heard of requests for postponement but very few
cases of requesting an earlier appointment.

But you can try!

Raju
 
Thanks Raju for your reply.

Yes, I am also not sure whether to request for a preponment or not. If it has any serious implications then I will be in trouble. Want to see if anyone requested and successded in the past. If so, then I will try otherwise I will stick to 25th of June.

Any comments from other memebers?
 
Ramsi,

Unless you have a compelling reason, it is not advisable to request a change of dates- you don't have to fear repurcussions- they can only refuse your request; not refuse your green card!! So, if you have a legitimate reason, ask for a change. I had requested them for dates on or after June 24th and they had agreed to accomodate my request and as it turned out, they did accomodate after all. So, they are flexible, but for the right reasons!

CPDelhi, the URL for the visa bulletin is:

Good luck!
 
Try if possible

It's surely a good idea,if it can happen. Usually Consular officer will not entertain the preponement request, until it is a critical health issue or a life/death situation.

did anyone in the past requested?
During my recent visit to India for the CP interview in Delhi, my both the kids got sick with Diahrea with temperature. Both the kids lost about 8 pounds in 4 days and werevery close to being hospitalized for injecting with fluid. The docs in India really recommended it, but we insisted not to beacuse of the unhealthy and unhigenic conditions in most of the hospitals. I requested the US embassy to prepone my interview so that I could back to US at the ealiest possible. I had doc's request and other supporting documents. The consular section did not even entertain my visit. I talked on the phone, but the rep denied any help in the regards of preponment of the interview date.

I know a couple whoes wife was pregnant and was due very close to the interview date. Their interview date did get preponed.

Any way good luck in your attempt.

I am planning to go to India on may 23rd...so wanna get my appt date as early as possible and come back. Any suggestions?
