I have posted question as a new thread. I will repeat the question here too. at the time of returning back, after a successful interview, does my family have to accompany me, or can they stay back for some more time and travel separately?

Would appreciate your inputs.

Thanks

Mode of posting

PLEASE HELP


Can you guys find out and let me know the mode of posting the packets. The consulate person told me that they use "NORMAL POST" for sending the packet. She did not have any other information other than that.
 
Re: Mode of posting

kd6809,
Iam in similar boat. Even I did't receive P4 from consulate. I think we shoud not go panic now. Normally it takes 2 to 3 days max, to recive post to my indian address from chennai. I was told by consulate on thursday that they posted already. I guess it may take couple of days more. For you to reach Hyderabad also, it may take some more time...

Can any of you answer following questions??

1. Do we need to take any bank statements apart from monthly statements we receive from bank?(DS 230 part II refers to bank statement with the details of account openinng data and past one year's balance etc..)

2. Question No:7 of DS 230 part II ::
What is cash surrender value?? (I have very little idea of this...)

Tnaks in advance....
 
everythin will go smooth....

1) ask the consulate your "shipping number " for tracking. My brother told me that it was the SPEED-POST , i believe it's EMS-SPEEDPOST. If thatz the case, you can track your shipping here.

2) Welcome to this forum "plk" . Good luck

3) Ravipk, spouses who are in H4-visa fall under the CATEGORY-3 , which means no sailing-permit required. Please check this URL http://www.irs.gov/businesses/small/international/article/0,,id=97256,00.html

I have received my pkt4 to my local address in India (hyd).

Thanks saradao, localmadras,- I am planning on taking the sailing permits for my wife too---- just because it is really easy.

Welcome to new comers to this forum.

A small note on Immunization Records, If you have gone to school here in the US, the schools keep a record of your immunizations, and they can send you a sealed copy at your request.

Hi saradao

I think just the regular bank statements for the last 1 year (6 months atleast) is enough. I believe getting an Average balance statement from the Bank is a pain. I am just going to go with the regular statements that you recv from the Banks every month.
Thanks
 
Getting bank stmts

Hi Saradao, plk,

Getting the average balance statement is not a problem atall..
If you just ask your bank to give you a bank statement, it should have not only your balance but also your 6months average.
I think it is a standard printout. (atleast it was a standard one from my banks).....

Sailing Permit

Hi,

I did get the Sailing Permit from the local IRS office. I just need the confirmation from any of u about the certificate.

The process was simple. Went to IRS local office provided my details and IRS Official filled up a small right side portion(Which has "Annual Certifcate of Compliance" , IRS form 2063 and stamped. It looks similar like I94 form. My details are filled and stamped by the IRS offical.

Is that it or is there anything else?
