Hi all,
I am done with the CP interview on November 23 at Chennai. It was smooth sailing, with no questions asked. Thank you all very much for your support and help throughout this process and responding to my frantic e-mails and frequent paranoia.
I arranged the docs in SriFX’s order, who I think has done both us and the Chennai Consulate a great favor by streamlining the process.
I am sure all you guys will do well. Just to let everybody know, typing or handwriting P4 does not matter. But, please, remember to keep your latest pay stubs and H-1B approvals (for those whose visas have expired) easily accessible. I have also received the visa back by blue dart. There were no changes in my passport, and the approval was stapled on to a sealed packet containing my set of forms. There were no mistakes on the form.
I am, now, back in the US and the POE at DC on Dec. 2 went off without a glitch. Even though the guy at the POE said to expect my GC in 6-8 months, I hear people are getting their GC in 10-12 weeks. He was going to give me a form with instructions to call INS in case of change in address and basically to track my GC, but I forgot to pick it up from him. I am wondering if anyone can scan that and post it on this site?
Post CPers, Going forward, I am wondering what all is required in terms of what I tell the HR department at my company, are there any new forms to fill out, and are there any other steps that I need to take to set the GC in stone. I would appreciate all responses. This is especially critical since my company is in the process of being bought-over by the end of December.
