Consular Processing (New Delhi)

Re: Time gap between NVC creating Packet 3 and attorney receiving it

Originally posted by cpDelhi
As per the conversation with the NVC Portsmouth operators , my packet 3 was generated on Dec 23, 2002. The NVC operators told me that the packet 3 should arrive in attorney's office within next 14 to 21 days. 18 days have passed by and my attorney has not yet received my packet 3.

Q1. Has anybody received their packet 3 recently?
Packet 3 received at attorney's office on Jan 6, 2003

Q2. If so, how long did it take between NVC creating Packet 3 and the individual receiving packet 3?
In my case it took about 10 days for Attorney's office to receive the packet 3 from NVC - Portsmouth. The law firm took another week just to inform me.

Subject: RE: Police Clearance Certificate (PCC)




Dear Sir,
You do not have to obtain a PCC from local police station in
India as you have not been residing here for such a long time. You only have
to obtain a PCC from the nearest Indian Consulate in U.S.

Thanks.

Yes. The NVC Automated Voice Mail system says that "Your case is reviewed and all the paperwork is sent to consulate at Madras on .....2003. Please wait 6-8 weeks for further instructions from consulate".

Q2. How does NVC send packet to US Consulate? Is it FedEx/UPS/DHL?
NVC uses the services of DHL.

Q3. Is there any way to track the Packet 3 sent by NVC Portsmouth to US Consulate in India?
There is no way to track the package from NVC to US Consulate in your home country. Even if there is some info, NVC reps don't have access to that information.

spp2000,

Thanks for your wishes. I am sure you will also have a smooth sailing into P3 review very soon.

I hope my case reaches US Consulate in New Delhi by Wednesday of this week. I plan to call the US consulate by the end of this week.

Do you know if the US embassy works only 5 days per week or US Consulate also opens on Saturdays too?

Thanks.

Raj,

You should get your I-134 notarized from the local government court office nearest to you. If you still have a doubt, just call the US Embassy in New Delhi to confirm the allowable notary authorities.

Thanks.
 
Notorization.,

The affidavit of support can be notorized from any Notary Public
whether in India or in USA.

I don't see the need to go to a Court or Magistrate.

Affidavit of support

I had to get an affidavit for date of birth, and I was advised to get a court notary on an Indian Stamp paper. There are other Indian governent gazzetted officers who also have notary authority.

Is this means 'Review' done ?

NVC's AVM says 'Your case is completed on 02/26/2003......blah..blah..blah'. Is this means review is done and it is ready to be sent to NWD ?

CpDelhi - pls suggest.

Thanks
 
AVM

I am sure cpDelhi would also respond.

The message 'Your case is completed on xx/xx/xxxx ....8 weeks...,
If you do not recieve any communication in 8 weeks...contact NVC.."
This kind of message means the review is completed.

The case would be sent to the respective consulate in about 7 to 8 days.

Raju is correct

I concur with what Raju said in his post.

Congrats. You have your review done pretty fast. May be we both will get May interview dates. Under normal circumstances, your case should get forwarded by March 7.

Thanks.

Thanks Raju and cpDelhi

Thanks. It was quick, hence I had this doubt (got wife +2 kids as dependants). Probably instead of June I can expect May (else June is a must).

cpDelhi, you are my guide and I have to follow your path as far as procedures are concerned. I will ask you from time to time regarding medical exam, documents etc etc.

Thanks again buddy.
 
In a surprise move

I just got a reply back from the immigrant visa section in New Delhi that my case was entered into their system on Feb 21, 2003. That means that my case was sent earlier than Feb 21 as I am sure the data transfer is not electronic and shipment cannot reach on the same day (actually previous day as Indian time is ahead of US).

Anyway it was a good and surprise news for me.

Updated milestone dates:

P3 reaches NVC: Jan 17
P3 entered into NVC system: Jan 31
P3 review complete: Feb 12
P3 sent to New Delhi: Feb 14 (my assumption)
P3 entered into US Consulate, New Delhi computer system: Feb 21

Waiting for the next lot of interview dates.

Thanks.
