Hi RM101,

1 Try to e-mail them ask what is the next step incase if you did not get the appointment letter in next 2 days. Ask them can your wife can collect the appointment letter directly from the consulate. Probably your wife can also get her medical done at the same time. Mean while call the lister labs (chennai) and Dr Thomas office and find out whether they test without the appointment letter. Probbaly you can show them the e appointment schedule and the e-mail from the chennai consulate with the case numer on it.

2 I have attached original empoyment letter (not the offer letter), orginal letter from the bank and dowloaded bank staments for the last 5 months.


3) I'm not sure whether VFS guys will accept without the appointment letter. Please send some one to Hyderabad VFS office and they will be able to answer this question. They are very friendly and you can go in the moring without any appointment.

Thanks

NJ,

Thanks for the response.I called chennai consulate last night and they said they mailed the appointment letter on 15th june itself.But some how we did not get it.They asked me to send an email so that they can send the link for web where we can downoad the appointment letter by entering the case number.She said it is as good as original appointment letter.I sent an email to them and waiting for reply.

Thanks again NJ.

Got Visa

Hi Guys,
I am glad to inform that my wife got the visa without any problem. Thanks a lot for all of them who given me a valueable information.

2 things mainly they asked when she went for an interview apart from documents submitted in VFS.

1. PCC from District office.
2. My passport copies visa stamping on that.


Yesterday night I had a quick chat with my wife and she mentioned as follows, also I have asked her to sent a email to me in detail, once I get it I shall post here.

When she went to Chennai Consulate on the entrance they not allowed to enter inside(bcos she didn't recieve the appointment letter,so I asked to sent an email stating not recieved the letter, for that they have replied, no need for letter, and just the link to print the packet IV), she took print out that and showed to the guard at entrance, even though that guy not allowed inside.
Time was 8.15, but interview scheduled at 8.00, then she had a little fight with those guys, your people only told me that no need a letter and this is print out what they have said, then it they called someone inside then they allowed her.

So guys those who not get the interview letter and got only an email, better take a print out.

Once she get into the office, an Indian guy came and checked the documents and asked to be seated.

Then An american officer asked for the same PCC and visa passport copies, then told everything looks fine, you will get your passport next tuesday with visa stamping on it.

Once again Thank you guys and good luck.

If have questions please feel free to sent an email

Hi Mega007,

Very sad to hear the news. I think it is better to fix the date on the green card. Try calling USCIS and find out how to fix the date on green card. May be they can give you the letter or fax the consulate with the correct apporval date. Was your PD is current on the date that got printed on your green card? Try to send a detailed e-mail explaing about this and I-551 stamp on your passport.

Once again very sorry to hear the news.
Thanks

Judex and others,

Do I just sit n relax hoping the consulate would notify or call the consulate?

My lawyer doesn't know anything, I wish there is some way i can get the money back from you. I had dealt with 4-5 immigration lawyers so far and all seems fraud

Hope someone got the answer. Thanks in Advance

YOGKC, different consulates work differently. In MNL consulate, they start FTJ process (mail you Packet3) assuming your PD is current even if I-824 is still pending and as long as you can establish a genuine FTJ case. While our I-824 was still pending my spouse sent email to US embassy MNL with copies of principal greencard, marriage certificate and kid's birth certificate, and I-824 Notice Receipt (no approval yet at that time). After 2 weeks we received Packet 3 in Phils and my spouse also received another set of Packet 3 in our US address. Suggest you contact your embassy as I have read previously in this forum that other embassies wait for the official approval. Good luck!

Mk,

Many congrats on getting the visa.Happy to know about it.
Could you please list all the other doc's (Photo copies) your wife took to conuslate and also what was the DD amount ? is it 380X42 equivalent amount?

Thanks,

 

[rm101]

Mega,

Sorry to hear about it.But i think it will not be a big problem if represented correctly.I would consult a good immigrtaion lawer some one like murthy.com who has good knowledge of both indian and american matters.
Many be it might cost extra dollors but worth going going thru attorney.

Looks like chennai people need more clarification to make sure that u are married before ur GC approval and what is defined in the GC was a typo.

Wish you good luck mega we are all with you dont worry at all.

Thanks,

RM,
for Q1 and Q3)
I read somewhere that you can actually take a printout of the Appointments from the consulate website,highlight your case number and go for medicals
and VFS.

Also wait for one more week and if you still don't get it call consulate and ask them if can send or if you(or your wife) can come and pickup a Duplicate of it.
You have to goto chennai for the medicals and its a one day thing altogether.
So you can go to the consulate.
My wife got her medicals done yesterday, early morning for lab tests at Lister Labs, evening check up at doctor Mathaih(he is the only one available late from 4:30 to 7:30).

for Q2) Letter of employment I sent the originals. Everything else including bank statements and pay stubs I submitted copies.
I134 I sent the original.

Freinds,

1)Our interview is sceduled for July 24th.As of now we did not get the interview letter.I see few on the forum getting the letters.Does any one had this situation.I am just wondering what should be the next step in case if they mailed and it got misplaced.


2)Also can some tell do we need to attach the original exp letter/Original bank letter or photo copies are enough to attach with affidavit of support. (I 134)


3) Can we submit the docs to VFS and go to medicals with out appointment letter?

Please share your experiance ....

Thanks,

 

[rammyrammy]

Mega,
Sorry to hear this. First things first collect all the documents,
I-485 Approvals, I-140 Approval and start the correction of the GC date on the Green Card. Call the customer Service here and ask them what should you do if information is wrong on your GC.
And follow the process.
right now I am not sure what the Process as soon as I find some thing I will post here.

Is it neccesary to have bank statement if we have bank verification letter?

If thats what you mentioned in the I134, looks like you had them all.

But give her last 3 years Federal Tax returns if you have. Its not needed, but sometimes they might ask.

I still have to get PCC from passport office. I am planning to submit on the 10th if I can complete the documentation by then.

[yogkc]

Thanks Judex.

I tried calling that no but no help. The lady who answered was very nice unlike TSC Rep. She said I need to have NVC Case no.

I found out that Consular Office in home country hasn't got any information from TSC.

How can these TSC rep give false information? I wish someone is tracking the calls and conversation. It seems like a game to those MORONS...

call the visa specialist, ask if a case has already been created for your spouse. then if a case has been created, call or write/fax your embassy, notify them about your case.

Tell them that you need to talk to the visa specialist. These guys have the power to open up embassy database and you can get information of any case thats opened with any embassy in the world. However you need to provide them the required information. Be specific with them. Ask your wife to try this and you need to try it there. They can tell that if your case is opened or not. Even you can ask about your situation and they will advise you.
This is the free service and lot of people dont know about it. However the wait period is too long.

Good Luck.

After the approval of I-824 (FTJ) USCIS sends the cable to the concerned consulate for further action. Sometimes consulates send the packet 3.5 based on that cable to the beneficiary and most of the times the beneficiary has to send the documents to the consulate for further action.
Is your I-824 approved?. If not then wait for the approval and if its approved and they havent contacted you then you need to contact them and send them the required docs for further action. This process will take 3-4 months depending on the consulate.

Good Luck.

Judex and others,
I called Texas Service Center today. The nice lady (surprisingly) told me that the consulate was notified on June. After talking to her, Now I am more confused. Even she is very nice and polite, I still do not trust her word :=)

The I824 case status is same from March. I thought TSC would notify NVC and NVC will notify the Consulate upon I824 approval. Am I missing something here?

Do I just sit n relax hoping the consulate would notify or call the consulate?

My lawyer doesn't know anything, I wish there is some way i can get the money back from you. I had dealt with 4-5 immigration lawyers so far and all seems fraud

Hope someone got the answer. Thanks in Advance

 

[kamrans]

Sorry to hear that. Now you dont have any option other than to consult with a good lawyer who can address this issue.
In my opinion the officer didn't understand the whole story and based on wrong data he made that decision. Dont get panic as everything is under control. You havent done anything wrong this is just a mistake from USCIS and you are suffering.
First thing is to call USCIS and ask them how to correct these dates. Second call the visa specialist on Monday and ask them what you can do to resolve this issue. This will give you an idea on how to proceed. Last thing is consult a good lawyer who can handle this case now. Please do not take any chance at this point and keep me updated and I will help you as much as I can. If possible can you send me the whole story with timeline in PM.

Good Luck.
