1.any thoughts on how i can get this back from the embassy??
spp2000 has answered this questions very suitably. I would also suggest that you send a request letter by postal mail and describe what a happened and list all the original doocuments you want to be returned. I am sure the US embassy will surely send you a reply back on its decision. ANd that way you also have a documentation proof of your request.

Worst come worst case, try getting a new set of the documents and keep theminsafe palce for any future needs.

I dont think the PCC and EVL has any further value.
True.

2. Should i pack the xray in the luggage or carry it in the hand bag to POE, is it required any further?
Not needed in US for any other CP related processes.

Many thanks.

Very Good.

Working in VA and applying through IOWA doesn't matter. I am sure your H1 would have listed your physical location of work and type of work. This has no impact on GC process.

So, don't worry and Good Luck with your GC process.

Plz write any more details if you know about this whole process.
Post your specific questions on this forum and soembody will answer back. Also spend some time and read the info about the CP process on this forum and other websites likes (immihelp.com and immifo.com).

Thanks in advance..

In the absence of a birth certificate the accepted practice is to
carry the Non availability certificate + the affidavits from parents.

To answer your question somobody needs to go the place of
your birth and follow up with local authorities.

About your last question, we have to wait and see if someone
has carried just those documents and been succesfull.

Do the consular officer asks for this document?

Please share any experience or suggestions.

Approval of I-140 is not an requirement for the CP interview. NVC will not have processed or even received your case from the regional service center if your I-140 was not approved. So you don't sweat/worry for not having the I-140 approval.

Though it is nice to have it. Your attorney should have a copy of the I-140 approval. You can/should request a photo copy of the I-140 approval. But for some reason, if you don't get a photocopy of I-140, there is no need to worry.

Consular officer will not ask for I-140 approval.

Thanks & Good Luck.

The website for the interviews scheduled for the US Embassy, New Delhi (http://newdelhi.usembassy.gov/wwwhint.html).

Usually by what date is the list published for next month interviews..
The dates are usually updated in the middle of the month (14 to 20 th) for the interview scheduled for next month.

Why don't you e-mail them to ask the status of your case and also call them.

Thanks.

There is no tracking info after the packet is fowarded by NVC to the US consulate in India. DHL delivers the packet from NVC, Portsmouth to US consualte in India. It takes about 4 to 6 working days for packet to be delivered. It takes another 5 to 10 working days for the individual's packet info to be entered into the US consualte/embassy computer system. It's after this event, somebody in the US consulate can answer any questions related to your case.

Three ways to get the status:
1. E-mail
2. Phone
3. Personal appearance at the US consulate/embassy

Since your case was sent on June 17, your case should be in the US consulate embassy computer system. Try sending an e-mail and follow up with a call.

Thanks.

Communication from NVS

Hi,

My case was sent to delhi consulate on 12 June by NVS but I have not received any communication regarding the same.

Is it normal that you do not get any communication for more then one month?

When I try to get the NVC operator, I always get the message "operator busy, try some later time". What should I do?

Thanks
 
It's normal

Its normal to not to receive any message from the US consulate in your home country for a month or more than a month. The only time you will receive any communication is through a letter (packet 4), once the interview date has been scheduled.

In the mean time you can keep trying to call the consulate to find the status of your case. When you send an e-mail, make sure you list your case number, otherwise it might be difficult for the rep in the US consulate to find info about your case.

Thanks & Good Luck.
 
Communication from NVS

Hi CPDelhi,

I am talking communication from NVC about the process has completed and sent to consulate. I believe NVC should send some letter to the benifery that case was completed and sent to consulate as we heir the automated message at NVC.

I understand that we do not get communocation from US consulate but my question was about NVC.

Thanks

You or your attorney should be getting a letter from the NVC that says that your case review has been completed and forwarded to the US consualte in India.

Thanks.
 
How to retrieve documents

I had written earlier:

"In my hurry, I submitted all original documents (at the time of interview in Delhi) and want at least the originals of my non registration birth certificate and my parents affidavit confirming my birth date/place."

Well, I wrote to Delhi consulate and here is their response:

"Our office does not keep any record of the documents once the visas are issued and if this is an immigrant visa then all the documents will be there in the packet given to you. You are advised not to open the packet, this packet will be opened at the port of entry."

What next? Should I write VSC (my service ctr) or perhaps TSC (I hear on this forum that all PC's are coming from TSC??
Any thoughts?
Thank you very much.

Try calling the Texas Service Center and also send an reqeust letter.

At the same time try to understand that both the birth affidavit and non registration birth certificate documents should be easy to get (atleast affidavit from parents).

Good luck.
