Interview
Recd an email form Mumbai that my interview is on Dec 11. I had requested for Dec 17-18, but will have to follow up to check if they will change the date. They said they had mailed p4 on Nov 6.
Did they tell you if they will mail another appointment letter to you with the new interview date?
Haymyth-
Also, wanted to know if you think there may be any problems with spouse on F1 since F1 is not supposed to have dual intent (non-immigrant and immigrant). Earlier, I had feedback that since I am the primary applicant, it shouldn't be an issue, but wanted to confirm w/ you.
thx,
Amit

Amit,
You should have a good reason to change, only then they will consider.. Yes,she said that she would be mailing out a new packet 4 for updated dates.
I don't think spouse on F1 should be a problem because she is not primary applicant..
All the best!!

Hi friends,
St. Louis received my Packet-3 on 10/16/02, and I called the bank and found that the check was cashed only on 10/29/02. I called NVC yestarday and they told me that they have not yet received my packet from St.Louis. Based on this can any one estimate when my case will be reviewed and send to Chennai consulate for interview.
Thanks,

I-134
Bapa-Thanks for the Consulate layout. Its amazing all the resources available in the net!
Has anyone filled out the I-134 form yet? I am not sure if P4 will arrive in time, so I downloaded the I-134 form from www.ins.gove website and was filling it out.
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.
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?- don't 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 of 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

dev28,
PCC: Yes, immihelp.com has spelt out the updated requirement for PCC. And also I talked to our company's attorney, he has mentioned the same. If u go through the recent experiences, u will have the same info too. For further verification, call/send e-mail to the consulate and u will get the info.
Rejection rate: I don't have the exact stat, but seems from the previous discussions on this forum, the chance is there, if u have some contagious disease - like TB,AIDS etc.. or there's some mis-representation of a case like the submitted docs r not false etc....
Sailing Permit:
I'm not too sure of it - I might/might not go for it, www.immihelp.com has the exact form no. IRS people may want to see return ticket before issuing it. So if u r going for this be prepared to show return ticket. U should carry ur tax returns for past yrs. and passport.
But I don't think it's must. Bapa, might throw some light on this. U can also send mail to Moulin Rouge/im9999 of this forum. Don't forget to consult ur attorney too...
cheers!!

Folks:
Sailing permit is not required. Your Tax transcript basically takes care of your sailing permit requirement.
Rejection Rate is less then 1%. Fraud cases and Medical problems such as TB, AIDS, Cholera etc can create problems.
PCC: Search for Chicago India Consulate on Yahoo. Chicago consulate has details for filing petition for PCC. It takes over 35 days to get one.

No you cant do that. PCC depends upon consulate and residence. For Mumbai Consulate, if you are living in the US you will have to get PCC from the nearest consulate.
If you are working against a deadline, you need to talk to the Passport officer and request her/him to issue you a PCC in seven days for some extra charge.
Plus if you have lived in anyother country for more than 180 days after your 18th birthday, you need to produce a PCC from each of those countries.
Hope this helps.
