Re: Inquiry about Delhi US consulate
Your case should have reached US consulate, NEw Delhi by now. It takes a few days to enter into their computer system. Send another e-mail to the Immigration section. If you don't receive any reply within 48 hours, call them by phone.

Successful POE at Chicago
Reached Chicago yesterday at 2:20 PM. Came thru 'Immigrant' queue. Handed over the packet at the counter. It was sent to another official and I followed the person who took it. I was asked to wait near a counter for 'new immigrants'. The officer took 10 mins to go thru the document and called me. Asked me to sign and finger print in two places of a form. Handed over the passport stamped the temporary GC for one year and said that the plastic card will reach by post in 4-6 months.
The processes in consulate and at POE were easier than what I thought !!!

Congrats..
spp2000,
Congartulations for getting your CP process squared away. So was the experience at the New Delhi consulate?
From what I remember you had the opportunity to walk in because of the delay in getting your PCC.
From the recent CPers experience, you should have your plastic card also with in a month.
Thanks.

CpDelhi - Thanks and you are right - I walked in after missing the original date due to delay in PCC. After that everything was so smooth.
I came alone. My wife and kids will come on 15th August. They have separate packets.
Couple of questions come to my mind :
1. Getting my plastic card has any link to their coming here? ( I guess it is independent)
2. Should I have to send any other document for them to prove that I have reached US before them? (I think from computer they can easily verify that I have already reached US)

Re: Congrats SPP2000!
Can someone elaborate...Is this a general DOS
policy (or) done at the discretion of the particular consulate. (what about Chennai?)
PS: how do I post the same msg. under multiple threads. (replies in one thread can't be posted
elsewhere?)
thanks, newbie user

I knew you would make it. Good thing you used the option of rescheduling your interview within the same month-many people are unaware of this option. Good luck

Case sent NWD US consulate in June'03
My case was sent from NVC to Delhi consulate on 17 June. When should I be expecting interview dates ?
I am planning a trip to Southeast Asia from July 3rd week for 2 weeks so as to return around Aug 2nd. I would like to have some idea of NWD interview dates, so that I have some time on return to US to prepare for documents and book flights to India. Another option I am considering is to stop over in SE Asia for 2 weeks before going to NWD, however I am not sure whether that's the good option as I may not have all docs in hand so much in advance
Since I don't know the interview dates, it's difficult to schedule and buy the tickets for the prior trip. Please advise what should I do.
And, shall I prepare all the documents, like employment letter and tax transcripts etc now or wait until I get to know the interview dates. I have birth certificate and I got PCC issued in Oct'02 from Indian consulate and as it's more than 6 months old, I will be applying for a new one. Since my passport was issued by the same consulate, I am expecting that will take 1-2 days only. Is there anything else which I should prepare now ?
Thanks

Successful CP interview at NWD (Delhi) June 03
First my gratitude to Mr Khanna for maintaining this forum and particularly to all the fellow Cpers for their most valuable advice here!! without this it would have been very difficult....
The Medical:
Took Apt with Dr ms Dawesar 2 weeks prior from the us for 9 am , arrived at the bhikaji cama office to find 10 other people with the same apt time! Most people seem to be elderly sikh immigrants. Filled out forms with 3 photos. Brought proof of blood work showing immunity to MMR , Chickenpox and recent Dt vaccination, this was accepted , hence no shots. After a wait , the doc asked some questions: “have you had tb,malaria disease etc etc”, then exam- heart/lung-full monty-groin check. Then sent for blood tests and xray to Green Park and Jor bagh (both about 15 minutes away), finding this was a struggle since both I and the driver had forgotten much of south delhi.. Blood test lab-very professional and clean (disposable needles etc). Reports next evening. Doc says “everythings fine”, gives sealed xray and medical report.

The interview:
Arrive at embassy 8.15 am for 9am appt. Pass thru tight security, palm device allowed inside, called to window and appt letter is taken at 8.45 am, then wait. Called to window at 12.45 pm for collection of documents. An Indian gentleman-pleasant- 50’s at the window. I see my old I-140 paperwork /old pay stubs submitted at the time of 140 in front of him in a folder. I give him EVL,sealed medical report, PCC,Non Regist birth cert, both parents affidavit for birth cert, Passport,2 immi style photos. All originals plus one copy. He asks for 10 class certif showing birthdate-I give him this. I don’t offer any other documents and he asks for none. He checks off the above on a check list and asks me to wait in the lobby.
At 1 .15 pm, called to window by gora officer- very pleasant – 50’s .
GO: apologises for badly mispronouncing my name, asks for correct pronunciation. Asks questions in this order:
Where is the town xxxxxxxxwhere you work?
What firm do you work for?
What do you do there?
How long have you worked there ?
Raise your right hand blah blah.
“I don’t really have anything else to ask you, I am canceling your H1B, since you will get immig visa, come back at 4.30 pm to collect visa.” This all takes about 2 minutes.
Came back at 4.30, called to window at 5.30 pm, collect visa, check my name and other details.(HIB- Canceled without prejudice)... Out of embassy!
More after POE in mid july.....

Q for cpdelhi/others..
In my hurry, I submitted all original documents and want at least the originals of my non registration birth certificate and my parents affidavit confirming my birth date/place.
1.any thoughts on how i can get this back from the embassy??
I dont think the PCC and EVL has any further value.
2. Should i pack the xray in the luggage or carry it in the hand bag to POE, is it required any further?
Many thanks.

<<< from where did you Brought proof of blood work showing immunity to MMR , Chickenpox etc. ?>>>
I requested my primary care (in the US) to draw blood work for "antibodies to MMR,chickenpox"- these came back positive proving that i am immune. i carried this test result with me
<<<Were did you do all your vaccination?>>>
Therefore , i only needed tetanus shot, this again i took in the US (and got a letter stating the above to carry to my medical in India)
<<<How much the doctor charged individually?>>>
Doc: Rs 1000 (this is split up as Rs 600 (for doc) + Rs 400 (for blood tests in India ). Doc takes the blood test money so you dont have to pay separately at the blood lab.
Rs 200- paid separately to xray.
hope this helps.
