Registered Users (C)
I am silent reader of your posts from Raju, Kdivekar, kkulkar. Thanks for contrubuting to this forum even after your process was complete. This forum is a great source of information. I am sure even the lawyers will not have this much knowledge.
My final leg of getting a greencard begins when my I140 was approved 2 days back.

I have opted for CP at Mumbai consulate.

I am waiting for my I140 to reach at NVC.

I have already filled my DS230 form well in advance so that I dont waste time when I receive packet 3.

I will be asking questions as my case progresses and hope you guys will answer them.

First question is with packet 3 what documents are required.

Thanks in advance
 
uvwxyz:

Packet 3 by DEFAULT includes only DS 230 Part I completed by the candidate. If other forms/ documents are needed then NVC specifies in the packet 3 (P3). At most NVC may ask for PCC...we have come a very few cases where applicant was asked to submit PCC along with P3.

You can find detailed sub steps for cp at www.cptracker.com
 
Thanks for reply kd1403

One more question:

For Affidavit of support which form is supposed to be filled..

Is it I134 or I864


Thanks...

For employment based cases only I-134 is required.
 
query for spouse's BIRTH CERTIFICATE

my BC(primary applicant) is fool proof with all necessary details reqd.
my wife has her school leaving certificate and three affidavits(mother, grandmother, grandfather)... but no BC...
Are these documents sufficient or do we have to obtain her BC or non-availability certificate for the same from the concerned authorities? It is going to be tough to get this done as we don't have much contact at her place of birth now...please advise asap!!!
 
uvwxyz:

Try to get the NAC for your BC (strongly recommending) else you may (?) use the 3 affidavits along with school leaving certificate as a proof of birth details!

Also as nkm mentioned I-134 is for employment immigrant visa and I-864 is for family based immigrant visas.

As far as I can see the affidavits are secondary and work in
conjunction with the Non-availability certificate.

I don't remember reading any posts where the candidate was
able to get away with just the affidavits.

The problem you are facing is very common and it looks like
somehow you need to get hold of someone to follow up and
get this document for you.

It would be good if some member can come forward and say
he/she submitted just the affidavits! Even if one does, how
do you apply the same formula to your case???

uvwxyz:

As suggested by raju try your best to get the NAC for your spouses BC.


raju:

Since uvwxyz's spouse has her school leaving certificate (SLC) would that be as good as BC? Coz I know SLC in conjunction with affidavits is something that is generally recommended in absence of BC. But yes raju you are dead right on the point that no one knows in this situation how important is the NAC!! Whether required or not...

UVWXYZ....double check what i have written by posting the same question on http://www.murthy.com Chat on monday night 9 pm EST. Once you come to know from Ms. murthy do let me know!
 
Thanks again

We will try to get the birth certificate or the NAC which ever is convinient....We still have 5-6 months as my I140 got approved just a week back...
(Long way to go )

Thanks
 
uvwxyz:

Thats a sigh of relief knowing that you have still 5+ months before your CP interview/....make the most of it. NEedless to say the best option is to get the BC as you will need in future!

Hi Kd,

As most of us know, School Leaving Certificate has been the
main Proof of Date of Birth in India and has worked during our
dealings with US Consulate in getting the VISA stamping for
H1 also.

But for Immigrant visas, and possibly for Non-Immigrant visas
also the US Consualte now asks for a Birth Certificate or
NAC + Birth Affidavits.

These being the consulate prescribed documents, if you ask
me whether there could be cases where the candidate has
gone to the interview with just the School Leaving Certificate + the affidavits and was OK? My answer would be 'possible'.

Among the thousands of cases they process it is possbile a particular consular officer was convinced by the applicants talk or position and allowed the case through.

Even if we know of such cases, a candidate cannot view this
as a precedent and go to the interview, so the right advise is, to
get the document.

Raju
 
Thanks raju for the prompt reply. I just know of one person who used school leaving cert plus affidavits. What i do not know is whether she had a NAC! Also i am not sure if she able to convince the officer about not having BC and instead to view SLC and affiedavits as a substitute or it was an oversight on the part of the officer. All i know is that she had SLC and Afidavits and had a successful interview.

But I totally agree with you on the point that we cannot view this
as a precedent and go to the interview. The best option is to get either the BC or NAC with SLC and affidavits!
 
Hi uvwxyz,

Please keep us posted about the BC issue.

I also have the same problem, and to be safe, I will try to get a duplicate BC.
 
Still no information in NVC

Hi Again,
My 140 got approved Jan 14 ( EB2 ) category, opted for CP. I tried the automated phone system at NVC and they still dont have any information on my case. Looking at CPTRACKER.com it usually takes 9-10 days to enter cases from VSC. How long will it take for the case to be entered ?
please let me know..
Thanks in advance...

Normally it should have reached the NVC by now. Give it few
more days and then ask your Attorney to follow up with the
service center.

NH is going through a spell of bad weather, this could be the
reason for the delay.

Re: Re: Still no information in NVC

Thanks for the reply...Well case got created yesterday. Now I guess I will have to wait for the fee bills to be sent to lawyer.

Thats what I love about CP is you see some kind of progress and something is happening about GC....

Hi UVWXYZ,
did you call 1-600-334-0700? our I-140 got approved and was sent to NVC on Dec 8th, 2003. We currently live in India and the lawyer is saying that they will inform when there is an update. We did not hear from them till date ( I mean after the last mail of update on approval)
My question is:
Do we need the case number before we call this number?
What's the best time to call (there is a time gap for us)
I appreciate the reply.

chennaipal:

I think the NVC number is 603 334-0700...assuming you made a typo.

To check status @NVC you will either need your I-140 case number or your NVC case number which you can find only if you have your I-140 case number.

If you are asking about checking status @consulate in India then you can provide your first and lst name and they will let you now if they have received your P3 case.
