Confirmed JUNE CP @ CHENNAI!!!

Medicals

Hi,
Is the physical checkup is exactly same as the U.S procedure.
Or just a nominal procedure.
Just trying to figure out if both husband and wife can be comforatably go to the same doctor (male or female).

From my experience about physical checkup in U.S, I was comfortable in going to the male doctor( because of some specific tests :) ) and similarly my wife was comfortable in going to the female doctor.

Please let me know.

Regds,
Sam.
 
Physical check up

kumar_sam,

The physical check up in not very intense though the doc does have a visual inspection of the private parts to make sure that an individual is not carrying communicable diseases.

As a part of the medical check up:
1. Weight
2. Height
3. Heartbeat
4. Abdominal check
5. Visual inspection of the private parts for communicable diseases
6. Blood withdrawal for tests
7. General questions about the health history
8. General questions (leg: do you smoke? etc)

Good Luck.

Hi Ramsi:

Just to let you know that I requested the consulate to schedule my interview around 15th of June almost 15days back and did not get any reply from them till today.... :) The reason I requested for it was, The project I am working on now is going to be live on July 1st and our company says they are not going to promise on anything regarding allowing me to fly during that week. I am still working on this with my company.... :-( Hope everything will be fine by then... When I sent an email to consulte I explained the same. But seems to me there is no luck... But I am happy to see mine got scheduled at least on 20th of June...

check list..please

Guys,
It seems we need to carry the fee receipts to the interview. Can you please let me know what those receipts are ??? I mean fee receipts for I-140 approval or the fee paid for the final stage.. I have no clue abt that..pls advise guys..

check list..please

cpdelhi/CP Gurus,
In your check list..u indicated 4 items that need notarization..But can we not take the originals with us for the interview instead?.. I mean like the employment letter..marriage certificate...degree transcripts....etc..
thanks

I will try and answer the two posts.

You cannot have any of the medicals done here in US.

However, if you have any immunization records, test results from
US or earlier, you can take them and show to the LISTER LABS and the Physician in India and based on these records THEY MAY
waive some of the tests/ shots.

Now the second part:

Carry the copy / counter foil / stub of the cashier's check or
Money order through which you paid the Visa Issue fee ( $ 335)
if you have paid it here. You don't need to carry the proof of
I-140 filing fee.

You surely need to get the employment letter notarized. There is no exception to this. Reagrding the marriage certificate & degree certificates, you may carry the original. What I did is make two set of all the docs. I got the marriage certificate, and degree certificate notarized for the second set.

I carried the originals of every doc with me and the second set, I let it go with the luggage. Just to be on safe side, if for any chance I loose the bag of originals with for any dam reason.

Thanks.

The only fee receipt that you need is the $335, paid to Depratment of State (DOS) in St. Louis. The reason this fee is directly connected with the docs(paper work, visa etc) that you will receive upon your successful CP interview. You don't need any fee receipt for I-140 or any other INS paperwork done in your case in US.

Thanks & Good luck.
 
Mine is on the 26th

Congrats fellow CPers.

I got the response yesterday. Thanks for all your answers.
The list of docs that cpDelhi provided is quite comprehensive and useful.

Do you think it's a good idea to get an appt. with the doctor and lab? Atleast the chennai consulate website says that Lister lab doesn't need an appointment.
 
The Lister labs does not need an appointment. If you want to have the results the same day, make sure to go for tests before 9.00AM.

You need to make appointment with a physician of your choice, and should be after you collect your lab reports.
 
Docs. for Interview

Add the following to the cpdelhi's (appreciate his effort) list:

a) Immigration style photographs: Make it 3 in number.
It is possible he has carried only 2 and it was fine. But the
packet 4 mentions , 2 at one place and 3 at another place.

One of the lines askes us to sign two of them and not to sign
the third one.

So, it is better to carry 3.

b) Copies and original W-2s for the last 3 years.

c) Federal Tax filing copies.

Again make sure to differentiate between what you actually
submit and what you hold back for reference.

I will try and post the list of documents that I am carrying before
I leave.

How important is I-864 and I-134 forms (for me and my wife) with the other set of docs for CP? Mine is EB2 (employment based category)

Raju,
That's good.
Please try to post the list of documets you are carrying. It will be nice for us(for future cpers also..) to consolidate the final list from your list + from CP Delhi's list. If you have enough time, please include the supporting documents (just in case) list also, which you are carrying..

Thanks,
Sam.

I didn't submit anything else, like school transcripts, etc, but i had it ready for submission.

When i re-visited the consulate for error-correction on Nov 21st, the consular-guy was 'reading the order in which the doc's need to be submitted'. They didn't do that for us on Nov 19th.

Anyway, You will be surprised to know that there were some folks who asked " how do i get DS230-1 & part-2". The consular-guy questioned, did you not get your packet-4 or did you not download it from the website. The answer was "no".

The consular-guy went inside and provided the applicant with blank copies of DS230-Part 1 & Part 2.
When i left the consulate, the applicant was busy filling in all the columns.
