Confirmed JUNE CP @ CHENNAI!!!

Hi Kumarsam:

Here is my take at your questions...

1. Bank Statement: I took a letter (not the monthly statements banks usually provide) stating my name, account number and money in checking and savings accounts. This letter should be on bank letter head and signed and sealed by the proper bank official. This letter was taken by the consulate at the time of interview. I did not take anything regarding bank statements from my company. The employment verification letter (notarized) from the company should be good enough to prove your salary etc.

You need to submit recent payslips (original) which are taken by the consulate anyway. This is part of proof of your employment.

2. Proof of relationship: Marriage certificate and copies if you are married. Birth cerficates of children if you have any.

3. Blue Dart DD: In the name of Blue dart express limited, payable at Chennai. I got mine from the bank of india branch (thousand lights) near the consulate.

Hope this helps.

Blue dart express limited

How much is the DD for in the favor of "Blue dart express limited"? Is it same for all cities or different?

Thanks in advance!
 
P4 - local address

Hi,

Can anybody please tell me when I should request the chennai consulate asking them to send P4 to a local address in India.

Do I have to wait until they enter P3 into their system ??

Does the NVC - AVM updates the status of when the P3 gets entered in the Consulate system or Do I have to send a mail to find out ???

NVC has finished reviewing my case on 05/27.

Thanks,
lux
 
Thanks & about P4 - local address

DMN,

Thanks for your answers.

Can you tell me which address we need to provide in Medical form when we go to Lister lab. Is it U.S address or India local Address??


LuxGC,
Since NVC finished the review of your case, you can wait for the next message which says that "your case forwarded to the respective Consulate". Once you hear this message, allow 5 days to reach your case to Consulate.
And then you can send your local address (by e-mail) for sending Packet 4 so that they will note down(Please note: they can do it only when your case reaches them) with your case number. They will confirm the same to you. And once they schedule the interview, they will send the packet4 to your local addres..

Hope it helps....

Regds,
Sam.
 
question related to Employment letter

Hello friends,

I need your valuable suggestions again.

Today I have taken the employment letter from my company. Actually my company lawyer sent the format to me as well as my HR Manager.
In that format she clearly mentioned that...

"XXX Corporation has made an offer of FULL-TIME PERMANENT EMPLOYMENT to Mr. YYY, according to the terms and conditions, as specified in the Application for Alien Employment Certification, which was previously filed on Mr. YYY's behalf. Such employment is scheduled to commence on a PERMANENT basis as soon as Mr. YYY’s immigration status allows him to accept the position."

But today my HR Manger gave me the letter in which she removed the term "PERMANENT" and just mentioned as "FULL-TIME EMPLOYMENT".

She is telling that they don't want to use the term "permanent", because they have the right to terminate my services any time.

I am a bit confused now.. Ideally, it is called the permanent position. right?? That is reason why my company applying for my "Permanent residence Card". Without having this word, is it making sense?? I observed all sample employment letters that exist in this website. Each one is clearly mentioning that the offer is "Permanent".

Can you please tell me how can I convince my HR manager to include that word??( I strongly prefer to go as per my company lawyer's format).

In addition, she also included the following sentence at the end...

" This is not an employment contract which would infringe the right of XXX Corporation to terminate YYY's services with or without cause".

But I think ..this sentence is o.k as long as they clearly mention that my employment is on permanent basis..

Please advice me guys. I need some ideas to convince my HR ASAP.

Thanks,
Sam.
 
quick question on blue dart DD

can we just pay cash instead of MO/DD?
If it's cash it's going to be much easier for me as I am going to start here just five days before the invw. date.

Thanks

I don't think they accept cash. They specifically mentioned in the Packet4 that we need to take the DD.

You can ask somebody to take the DD and keep it ready for you.

Can u pls clarify dudes..
thanks

Sam,

Your letter will be just fine even if there is no 'permanent' job mentioned. You need a full time job offer from the sponsoring employer and the permanent nature of the job is implied.;)

Dalladude,
If you have paid the $335 fee to NVC, you don't have to pay the embassy any fees other than the courier fee in Chennai. Ofcourse there are fees to be paid at the lab and doctor's office. Good luck.;)
 
Thanks & question about I-134

Hi Rajeev,

Thanks for your information.Anyway today I showed her the I- 140 petition and Labour petition. One of this form has two questions for which we answer "yes".

1. Is this job is "Full time".
2. Is this job is "Permanent".

We answer "yes" for both of these questions. That is the reason why I felt, it is good do reflect the same in Employment letter about the nature of our future job.

Finally, she understood and gave me the updated letter.


Guys:
I have a doubt related to I-134(Affidavit of Support). What is the reasonable amount to be showed in our bank account. Is it o.k if we have around $10K ($10,000)?? Or is it too less from their expactations...

Thanks for clarifying it.

Regds,
Sam.
 
I-134 Affidavit of support

kumar_sam,

I-134 is affidavit of support. This means that you are willing to support your family after you get your GC and your family also get along with you.

There is no minimum requirement for how much should be the bank balance. US Government just want to make sure that your dependent don't become US government dependents, if you later say that you don't want to support them. IN another words, your dependents are your liability with in the terms of law.

So don't worry too much in working hard to artifically inflate your bank account. Just show what ever is in your account.

Thanks.

Crystal Residency booking

Rajeev:
How did you booked the room in Crystal Residency?? By phone or by mail.
Do we need to give credit card info etc,. while booking the room.

The reason why I am asking is: Incase if there is a problem or if I change my mind, will they charge some money from me or not??

I hope check out time is 24hrs from the check in time (unlike U.S style...11.00 AM checkout time).

Please tell me

hello others,
If any of you know this information, can you please reply to it immediately.

Thanks,
Sam.
 
I reserved the room...

by emailing the hotel thru their website. You don't need to give your credit card number. Cancellation should not result in penalties. I have also asked them to arrange for taxi from the airport. They are very accommodating, even though their English needs a bit of polishing!;)
