What's 'Medical Appointment'

The letter from NWD (with Pkt4) talks about two dates.

Visa Appointment : 20th May 2003 at 9AM

Medical Appointment : 28th April (no time is mentioned)

I have no idea about this Medical Appointment. Does it means that I have to be present there on 28th also. Or this is a formality.


Raju - any idea ?

Thanks
 
P4 Received

Guys!

I have received my P4 on Monday at Chennai. I havent look at it.

Does it specify about medical appointement dates? I thought we could go any date we want to.

Thanks,
Rajkt

Interview Date on May 22nd

Hi guys,

My interview is scheduled for May 22nd, and I need some information from you guys:

1. PCC
Should I take PCC from US or from INDIA? How long does it take?

2. How many days before the interview date should I take the Medical exam?

3. What are the list of "ancillary" documents that I need to take?

4. Do I need to take a Sailing Permit?

5. Tax returns?

I have not started anything, and I just read that someone's PCC took 15 days! Does it take that long?

Appreciate your feedback immdly.

Thank you,
Pitme
 
It takes 30-35 days to get PCC from CGI- Houston ( If u have a passport issued in India). If your passport has been issued in US then it will take 5-7 days.

Pitme,

If your interview is on 22nd May then you have exactly 29 days
to your interview which also includes your travel.

1. If you are in US then you need to take PCC for your stay in
INDIA from the nearest Indian consulate or Embassy. This
takes 45 days if your passport was issued in India, as said
earlier in the other post.

If on the otherhand your passport was issued by a local
consulate, then you can get it much quicker, may be in 1 day.
Check this out.

2. It will be your choice, but good to have it about 3 days before
the interview. This should happen with one of the panel
doctors in the city where the US Consulate is located.

3. Browse the forum and you will find all the information.

4. You no longer need this.

5. Yes. You need to carry the latest 3 years tax return copies +
your W-2s, Bank statements, few latest pay stubs etc.
( this agian depends on where you are right now and whether
you have ever filed tax returns in US)

I would say you have let it slide too long before you started
preparations.

Good luck.

Packet 4 contents

I received the copies of the complete set of Packet 4 from India.

There are no surprises.

The following are some of the important points I noted:

* Since all the names and dates of birth are noted on cover letter
check for spelling mistakes and errors in the dates.

* The immigration style photos 3 are required. Color with white
background. size: 1.5" x 1.5". Sign on two copies on the front
at the bottom. Do not sign the 3rd copy.

* Recent 3 years Federal Income tax return copies with W-2
statements.

* Job verification letter

* Bank statements

* If you have not paid the $ 335/- here in US then a DD in
Indian Rupees for the equivalent value payable to
'The Americal Consulate General, Chennai' .

Call 2811-2060 for the exchange rate.

* Courier fee, payable by demand draft , in Indian rupees
payable to ' Blue Dart Express Limited".

Amount Rs. 300.00 + ( Rs.50 * no. of applicants)

* Do not use the term 'Not applicable' or 'N/A'. Instead write
"none" or "never".

Let me know if any other specific info. is required.

Any one of you recieved/expecting P4 at US address?

Hello Guys,

Thanks
 
Quetion about Packet 4 contents

Raju595,
Did it specify anything about date for going for medical? Reason why i am asking is i am planning to go for medical on May 21st(interview date is May 23rd). I am in dilemma whether to go with this date or go little bit earlier.

Thanks,
Rajkt
 
The packet 4 does not speak about when you should be going
for the medical tests and doctor check up.

It only says that the lab tests should happen before we visit the
physician, which every one knows .

You will be OK going on 21st May.

Raju
 
medical test

I think i remember reading in the p4 that the lab test must be scheduled at least 3 working days prior to the interview and medical test 2 working days prior to interview.

Regards,
 
The consulate suggests that the tests should take place 3 days
before the scheduled interview date. They have not used the
word 'must'.

It is true, that for the reason of safety if one can schedule that
way, it is good.

But due to personal and practical reasons some members have
done both lab tests and doctor visit just the day before the
interview date.

So, it is the candidate's choice.

Just for record I am getting my tests done on 19th and the doctor's visit on 20th for my interview on 23rd.

Guys,
Is it required to send the ORIGINAL birth and marriage certificates to NVC when submitting packet 3?. Did you guys send originals or certified copies?.

Jay.
 
just copies

Jay,
I had sent just the plain Photocopy (no certification by notary..)
Originals are to be retained by you and it is to be presented on the time of interview.
 
Jay,

I had just send an affidavit of support i.e. letter from the employer, along with my D-230 form to NVC. My lawyer told me not to worry about the remaining documents at this time, but need to produce at the time of Interview.

Jay,

It is difficult to answer your question because the document
submission is governed by the Consular post where you would
be appearing for interview.

Just to give you few samples, for consulates in India we do not
send the originals with the packet 3. Even copies are not required
(only exeption is, if the cover letter in packet 3 asks you to submit, then you have to ! )

But for consulates in Canada submission of originals is mandatory.
