Hi Friends!

1. Can anyone help me to understand the procedure & the time-frame after I-140 approval? I got my I-140 approved on Oct 20 and going for CP. My 140 approval has been forwarded to NVC and whatz next? Do they send Pack3 or any kind of notification etc? How long does it take for me to have an interview with US consulate in Chennai.

I-134 form help..

Has anyone filled out the I-134 form yet? I had a few questions.

I was not sure about the following-

No. 3:
You have to fill out the name of any dependants who you are vouching to provide financial support for- in my case, its my wife.
Then it asks to list the spouse and children accompanying this person (this dependant)
--> Do I have to fill my name in there or not, since I am the person executing the form in the first place.

No 7:
Asks to list any personal property and reasonable value for it.
-->Would my car qualify under this?? I don't have anything to show that the lein is paid off, though it is.

No 9:
Asks whether you have submitted affidavit of support for any people earlier, and the dates.
--> I had provided a letter for my parents when they visited me as well as for my wife to get her visa.
--> Does this need to be listed here?- I don't have exact dates for these!!

No 10:
Asks to list people who you have submitted visa petitions to INS for and the date.
--> I'll put my wife's name here. However, what date do I put?
The date of submission of CP application or I-140 application??

Any help will be appreciated.

Check out www.ins.gov for the form. Couldn't attach it here, as this board doesn't accept .pdf attachments.

Thanks,
Amit
 
Re: I-134 form help..

Hi Amit,

Here are some answers to your questions,

No. 3, yes you have to mention your name....

No.7, you can put in the fair market value of the car... (make sure you take printouts of any supporting docs.)

No.9, as per my lawyer, there is no harm if we mention previous addidavits for visitor visa's. my parents visited twice, and I am planning on mentioning that. Even though this is for immigration, there is no harm in mentioning....

No.10, no, for you this should be none..... since, you are not petioning for your wife, since yours is an employment based case, your employers is petioning for both you and your wife....
Also, since you are not a PR/Citizen of US, you could not have filed for petition for any others for immigration.....

Hope this helps,

-Ravi

update...

Got sailing permit for myself & my wife. (unnecessary but still).

Went to the Farmers branch office @ dallas. http://www.irs.gov/localcontacts/article/0,,id=98337,00.html

Carry
a) Passport (each person)
b) IRS transcripts
c) air-tickets (optional, they requested me to show the air-tickets , but i told them i didn't bring it with me)

You need to fill a simple-form
a) name, dob, etc etc..
b) INfo on the last-IRS tax return
c) flight-name, departure-date (important)

Had a last-minute correction in the employment-letter, got it corrected.

Good Luck guys.
