Thank you very much for your quick response, would you please let me know that I am doing Follow to Join for my daughter only my wife and other kids are here with me. I want to make sure that do i need my daughter's passport copy with other docs and the india address and the detail in the covering letter now to generate the packet 3? or i need that when my daughter get the packet 3 india. I think now i need to send my passport's notorized copy only to first generate the packet 3? what do you think guys please let me know.I dont have my daughter's passport copy now. Do i still need marriage certificate since i am doing only for my daughter?

I dont need police certificate beacause my daughter is only 13year old below 16 we dont need police certificate. do i need PC for myself? I am the sponser i think i dont need for myself?

First understand that sending reasonable extra doc won't hurt ur case but it would help them to consider as geniune case.

I believe only your PP copy is required to create the case , and they would be asking other required doc in pkt3.

so send them the doc u listed. that are

Cover letter of request to 'create FTJ' case for ur daughter.
Your 485 apvl notice
your GC copy both side
Your I-140 apvl
824 receipt or apvl
Your PP copy (All PP with all pages)
Your Marriage certificate
Daughter birth certificate (which clearly shows her parents name)
Her Info , complete Name , DOB, Ph, Address.



-----------


Police Certf: your P.C is not required, if it is not inconvenience for you keep ready her P.C just incase they asked.



pkt time differ by consulate to consulate and workload, once they receive and reviewed case they generate case # that avg may take 2-6 weeks. and then pkt 3 is sent. just be prepare all doc in advance that u would need.

usually Adv preparetion

Fill out DS 230 form part I & II.
Fill out I-134 Form / Affidavit
Comply /get all I-134 supporting doc (Employment letter, bank certificate, Tax paper, W2(optional), paystub(optional)).
Her P.C
Her Medical (get done when asked by consulate)
PHotos,
PP copy.

...........

(consulates in india are more flexable than other country consulates, so relax and don't panic.)

Good Luck

It seems you are following two paths 1: 130 and 2nd:824.

and I beileve u do understand the difference and aware of that 824 route is only for ppl who married before their 485 approval, and 130 is pp who got 485 apvl then they get married and their case is family based that may take long than 824.


Usually it shouldn't be problem if ppl change job in same/related filed after 485.


Good Luck

usnycus,
I know already about your case very well but you walked in to the embassy so little bit different from me i sending document from usa. but i think you are still very lucky because you got interview within two months time. you started ftj jan.13 and in the march you got interview. Do you have to submit the packet 3 again? because you had already submited all the documents by mail. My mean to know is if we submit packet3 in advance , would they send us interview letter or just packet3 again? In your case you went to the embassy so they they could able to create the case immidiately but they told you that you have interview so and so date that means they already issue the interview letter based on document you mailed them?? I read this whole thread forum start to end but i didn't find who sent the packet3 in advance and directly got interview letter. normaly people geting packet3 again even if sent it inadvance. do you agree? There is no doubt you are a most exprienced person on this forum and you are giving very very good advice to the people we can see your post all around this site so are realy doing greate job with helping people.Your case was realy very fast. I am going to send all the documents to create the case with DS 230 Part I and DS 2001 is there any chance they send me interview letter directly or just packet 3 again?

Usnycus, i want to know one more thing if i am on long busiess trip 4-5months and i got the interview end of trip but still i am out of usa so in this do i get hard time?

First of all thanks for your kind words. I am just trying to give back what I gained from this site. Many, in past, helped me with the immigration process and I am just following their footstep.

Also, in my wife case, I also submitted papers in mail. In late Dec 2004, I collected all the papers and mailed them using USPS. After 10 days (second week of Jan 2005) I was in India, and during that trip I decided to call N Delhi US consulate. Lady from immigrant section in US Consulate told me that they have not received any papers regarding my wife case. After that phone conversation, I re-submitted papers using local courier service.

After submitting papers second time, I left Delhi and was out for almost a month. I came back to Delhi in third week of February, 2005 and came to know that nothing happened to the case. I sent couple of mails and made calls, without any luck. After waiting few more days, I decided to visit N Delhi consulate. During that visit to consulate, we came to know that an interview has been scheduled.

We never got packet-III from consulate.

Usnycus,
Thanks for your kind response,So it is very clear that if you provide them Packet 3 in advance with all other documents they could schedule interview. That means they never send you the Packet 3, you provided them in advance so that way you saved atleast 2months. I am also going to send the Packet 3 (Ds230 Part 1 and Ds 2001) together.

You have given a lots of time to this site, you realy helped a lot to the people. It looks like your eyes are on the whole of this site and when ever you see , if there are some people facing problems or other people making wrong statements you immidiately intervene and clear the position. So your image in my mind is like a professor and we all are like your students on this site. I believe you have got great experience with the people who face problems and sucessful users share their practical real time experience here. My I-485 also was approved in the Dec.2004 and you was there too to help, even i remember i think your I-485 was delayed after second finger print or some kind of delay?. sorry i took lots of your time.
Thanks

First of all we should all thank, and ONLY thank, Rajiv Khanna and his team for excellent site. :)

If you still left with thanks feeling then thank "dharma rao" who started this excellent thread. ;)

You are correct. I had issue with FP. After I-140 approval, I was in India and my attorney in US received FP notice. He was not able to reach me and he re-scheduled FP with ASC. In the mean time I was back, and finished the FP process. Due to this confusion, I had to go for second FP, withing months from first FP.

I never had issue with I-485 or I-140. Both got approved timley. As a matter of fact, well before I was expecting.

usnycus... I read ur thread ... nad in ur signature noticed that even though ur I-824 was still pending u got ur wife interview ... so is it possible for me to follow ur foot steps and once my 485 is approved I can go and visit the conculate also. If I-824 is still pending how does one get the Packet 3 and 4 and DS thing. thanks
 
After, I-485 approval, download forms from USCIS/DOS website and send that along with supporting documents to the nearest consulate. You can get the document list from this thread itself.

After submitting papers you can try visiting consulate.

packet 3

hi usnycus and diamond4ever,

diamond, i am one of those who got helped by people like usnycus, poj, njblue, sriniv and many others .... my thanks to all of 'em ...

besides, i sent my packet 3 on sometime in october mid ... when i did not receive packet 3 after i heard from chennai consul that they have already sent it to my home address before 2 - 3 weeks, i emailed them to resend as per their suggestion and they replied me the next immediate day with the packet 3 forms.... I cut and paste below from the email which i got from them if it is useful to anybody. In that they asked for 864 which is part of packet 3 (i did send ds2001, ds0230 part 1 forms ... before that itself... and still i got packet 3.. ). I beleive that 230 part 2 form is supposed to be submitted when the spouse go for interview.... usnycus, correct me if i am wrong.. please look at the below cut and paste of their email to me ....

diamond, note that they have sent ds2002 also !

so i would suggest you to send ds2002 and 864 also along with ds2001 and 230part1 ...

Dear Archer747,
I want to know what is Ds 2002?? I know only about DS2001. and for employment based applicat we need only I-134. I-864 is not needed as per user's exprience on this site. ask Usnycus. Archer747, usnycus is most experienced most helpful person not only on this forum but on whole site. He has greate exprience about all kind of cases, i believe it.

Today i got email response from Bombay Consulate that Delhi Consulate farwarded the case to Mumbai Consulate because my daughter resides in Mumbai. but i instructed to the USCIS for Delhi Consulate and on the I-824 approval notice it has Delhi Consulate. is there any problem or delay??? Bombay Consulate is requesting me to send the document as soon as possible.

I dont know about bombay consulate how they doing. People from bombay please let me know your experience. Is Bombay slower then Delhi??
