rm101,
I think you sent all the documents. You can not go to consulate without appointment letter. Based on your PD interview could be scheduled in July. If this is not the case send an e-mail to chennai consulate. Wait for their response.

-Thanks

Kamrans or any other friend on forum,

I need some clarifications.Can you or some one clarify? Thanks in advance for ur response.

1)I sent the FTJ initiation( Sent all the required docs they asked me) request in 2005 August.I added 824/I 134 as well.

2)My case number got created in the same month in chennai consulate with MDR 2005 XXXXX.

2)They mailed us packet 3 forms (Some reason they did not reach us.When we called them they emailed the forms (DS 230 part 1 DS 2001 (Check list) 2002 (Inerview rediness form and they said 864 is not needed)

3) We filled the froms and mailed them back in the same month.

4) Mean while when we called them they did not acknowledge all they said is wait for the visa number.

5) When i called them last week after a year and half (After dated moved to June 2003).

They checked my file and said they do not have packet 3 and asked me to send again.

6) 3 days back we sent the same forms again DS 230 part , DS 2001 DS 2002

and covering letter and planning on calling them to see they have all the information.


Can some one say did i miss any thing .Just wanted to make sure so that i wont miss the July Bulletin.

Becoz they are not clear in any thing when we call them.Can we go to chennai consulate and meet them in person.If they dont acknowledge correctly?


Thanks and all have a happy long weekend

To all

To all current FTJ guys,
I think you need to send either photocopy / scanned copy of your greencard. When my wife submitted documents at VFS on Thursday they asked for this copy. Since my wife did not have it she needs to take with her at the time of interview.

-Thanks

rm,

I dont see anything that you missed keeping the information which u provided....

I also dont think going in person is an option at all for us .... you cannot go in without any appointment first of all ..... to get appointment i am not sure whether there is one just to check the status of ur application....

I would keep trying often to consulate and follow up or ask ....

Kamrans, gc37, agapatti and all ...

thanks for your answers ....I just sent my I 134/bank statements/copy of pay stubs & w2/emp letter ... thru fedex to India ......

Thanks Mega for the response.BTW, do we need to be present during wife's interview? Does that helps in any way?

Pcc

Hi rm101 & rammy rammy,


You guys should start collecting PCC right away as these will take more time to get it.

HBG2001, did you submit PCC along with other docs at the VFS ?



Thanks

 

[HBG2001]

Yes. PCC was submitted by wife to VFS. Given your interview dates and for those scheduled/to be scheduled in July, PCC must be the top priority.

-Thanks

Yes, you are correct.

The passport office in Hyderabad takes 3 days to give the PCC and district police guys said they will take 5 to 10 days.

Thanks

Hi, I have 2 questions.
1)DO we need to submit our marriage invitation to VFS?
2) Do we need to submit a Demand Draft for $380 to VFS or directly submit in chennai consulate during interview?
Thanks.

I think it is better to submit marriage invitaion along with other documents as it can be used as the secondary proof for the relationship with the petioner.

We do not need to submit DD to VFS.

Thanks

 

[agpatti]

Thanks NJBLUE. If so, do we need to translate the invitation because it is not in English (Tamil)?

Wedding invitation is not mandatory but if you planning to submit then it should be translate to English.

 

[HBG2001]

I doubt if VFS accepts evidence of relationship such as marriage photos, wedding invitations etc. I think these should be carried to consulate. When my wife submitted documents VFS did not aks for any of these. But you can try.

PCC from the passport office

We have submitted my wife's passport in the passport office last week for PCC and apparently they are going to do the police verification as the current address (my parents) is different from the address on the passport (wife's parents address). We are in big trouble as they take their own time do the verification.

We need to submit the docs in the VFS office early next week and also we did not get the medical reports as the passport stuck in the passport office.


I'm not sure when do we get the next interivew date if we reschedule the interview.

Does anyone know, what will happen if we reschedule the interview and if the visa dates retrogress or unavailable in coming months. Are we going affect by that? Please share your thoughts.


HGB2001/Mega, Do the passport office include the address on the PCC?

Thank you in advance.

 

[HBG2001]

NJBLUE,
We took PCC last year May. I will call my wife and get these details and post them here soon. My belief is that once you submit documents and consulate finds the documents are not adequate then you are asked to submit further documentation. In this case your visa is reserved for you whether dates retrogress or not. But if interview is rescheduled because of lack of necessary documents then I am not sure. I have an appointment with my attorney this week. I can raise some of these issues and post them if I get reply from attorney.

-Thanks

[HBG2001]

NJBLUE,
Does your wife has any records such as tax statements, Ration card etc which relate her to the address on passport? I think verification will be done at the address appearing on the passport. Regarding certificate from Police commissioner, I do not know much. You can approach an agent and see if the issuance can be expedited. See if passport office can issue any certificate to the effect that your wife's passport was submitted and verification is being done . You can submit this to VFS. Once you get certificate your wife can take it to consulate or in the worst case submit to VFS after interview. This is my idea. Also, contact your attorney ASAP.

Thanks HBG2001, very much appreciated. The worst part is the passport is with them.

Thanks

That's good news NJ.It gives lot of relief when things get done when we have less time.So we need to go to the passport and collect PCC from passport office right or do they mail us home?.Next step is your wife needs to fly to chennai right for medicals or she already has?

Wish u all the best.

Thanks,
