Re: Question regarding PCC

Same thing with the PCC from the local police station also.....We have not got it....But still we dont know the format to ask....and then since we come under municipality we do not have a commissioner of police for our district....We only have a superentendent of police....So will that be o.k...Guide me gurus...

If there is any standard format in any website please give me the link for that .....your help is heavily appreciated

Thanks in advance....

I think you don't have to be too concerned about this whole
issue. All the departments or agencies you are approaching
would have done this before and they would have standard
formats for these certificates.


If the PCC given by the consulate is any indication, then they
would not mention any periods. They just say that ' no record
was found which would make ............ ineligible for issue of
travel documents including Visa to US.....'..

Case forwarded to consulate on May12

Guys...

I am so excited now bcos i just heard from the automated message that my case is being forwarded to the chennai consulate by May 12.Gurus!!! Can somebody say like when will i get my interview? Based on kd's post i am expecting something to be scheduled for July.Am i right?

one more thing.... Is it mandatory that your marriage has to be appended on the passport before you go for the interview?The reason for my question is my lawyer gave me a list of things to do before interview.In that the first suggestion is to append the marriage in the passport.But it was dated in the year 1999......So i am in a dilemma whether it is necessary now or not?

Is there anybody else who is attending the interview at that time in chennai..when i look into cptracker.com i am seeing 5 or 6 people there!!!

Waiting for your valuable inputs

Thanks in advance

There is a chance for July interview. It really depends when your p3 is entered in chennai consulate system and if there is a big backlog. Chennai has been processing a record number of Employment based CP cases over the last 3-4 months as comapred to NWD & BMB. Since it is on borderline i would say there is 50% chance for July or 50% latest in August!

There is no need to endorse spouses/ children's name on each others passport. IT is not a requirement but a general recommendation. Just carry your marriage certificates (and child BC if you have a child)
 
very silly question

When i filled DS-230 partI i filled the unapplicable columns as N/A (Not applicable) according to what have been mentioned in the DS-230 application.But when i went through the chennai consulate website they have mentioned that you have to write as NONE or NEVER and you should not write as N/A....I saw that under the heading common mistakes done by immigrant visa applicants....Should i have to worry about it? I know it sounds silly but still to be on a safer side....Should i have to call the consulate people and let them know....Guide me gurus..... :(
 
For BJ77

Hi BJ77,

My case was also forwarded by NVC to the Chennai Consulate on the 12th May 2003. Keeping my fingers crossed to know the date of my interview.

As per ex CP'ers like KD and Raju we should be expecting our interview in 2 to 3 months. As KD has already indicated we may have a 50% chance toward July and another 50% toward August.

I have entered my information in CP tracker with the same nick (jalabalajings). I was not able to see your details based on your nick (BJ77), but I did note 'bjgc'. I assume it is you.

Anyway keep me posted about the happenings at your end regarding the CP process and we could share information.

Thanks,
DA

You don't have to worry about this. If this is needed they may ask you to
make this change during the interview. But on the DS-230 Part II where
ever the field is not applicable just fill 'None'.

I do not personally agree with this word, but if that is what they want I
do not argue with them.

Question regarding H4 - Will it be an issue in IV interview?

I got married in december and got a H4 visa for my wife from chennai consulate.Because of her studies she was forced to stay in India.Initially we thought that she can join me here in United states in the month of April 2004 .But Later we found out that she has to stay there till 20 June 2004 to complete the studies.So in her passport there is a valid H4 visa which is unused.Now i am expecting my gc interview in July or August.So i am planning to tell her to wait there so that we can come together after getting the greencard.My question is will it be an issue if we have an unused H4 stamp in the passport when we go for green card interview? or Is it mandatory that i should tell her to come here before we go for the interview....? :confused:

Please give me your suggestion and ideas which are very valuable...

Thanks in advance

I don't think so. It's a wise move. No point throwing away money.

Case received by chennai consulate

I sent an email to chennai consulate and they have replied as that my case has been received.They have mentioned that the interview will be in July or August.I am unable to come a conclusion .....like my interview will be in July or in August.I called the consulate general line.But i could'nt talk to somebody.I will call again.I am not sure that they will give me confirmed date in the phone.But i will definitely give a try.The reason for my urge is making the travel arrangements would be easier if i know the date.

My case is in the consulate as of now.Can the CP gurus predict the date of my interview...like it will be in July....or in August...?

Many Thanks
BJ
 
bj77:

ASsuming your's is a regular CP case via NVC, expect interview in about 2.5 months from the time Chennai has received P3 from NVC. Knowing that Chennai has been processing CP cases at a faster rate than other two Indian consulates, I would like to say you should expect july interview. But the best way to find out is by calling the chennai consulate the week of 7th june to find out if you got a date in the july month.
 
Thanks kd

kd:
you are right.Mine is a regular CP via NVC.So i will check with chennai consulate in the week 7th June.Now i am planning to block the tickets in the month of july (presuming my interview will be in the last week of july). :)
Many Thanks kd....for you prompt reply...

I know the sailing permit and FBI check are not required for the interview.Is it worth spending time to collect those documents?

Presuming my case as very exceptional if suppose by any chance the consular officer asks me about the sailing permit ....and if i say him...i dont have it.....will he give a temporary visa to come here (bcos my old visa will be cancelled without prejudice) and collect it?

In FBI name check ...though .... i have the clearance from my side he will tell me to wait until he gets it cleared from his side right!!!!!So is it worth spending time for those things?

Reply me gurus....

Many Thanks...

{No. We say this based on the number of candidates who have gone
to the interview without these and came out successfully }

Presuming my case as very exceptional if suppose by any chance the consular officer asks me about the sailing permit ....and if i say him...i dont have it.....will he give a temporary visa to come here (bcos my old visa will be cancelled without prejudice) and collect it?

{For this document you would not get into any problem. However for your
peace of mind there is a memo by Secretary of State Colin Powell which
you can get on the internet which clearly says the sailing permit is not
required }

In FBI name check ...though .... i have the clearance from my side he will tell me to wait until he gets it cleared from his side right!!!!!So is it worth spending time for those things?

{In my opinion it is not worth it}

Interview in July/August - Chennai

I sent an e-mail yesterday asking the Chennai consulate if they have recieved my file from NVCC and if yes, when could I expect an interview?

The following is the answer I got from them:

'We have received your case. Your interview is likely to be in July/August."

So keeping my fingers crossed to know when exactly my interview would be. Ex CP'ers any idea when this could be. My case was forwarded from NVC on the 12th May 2004.

DA
 
jalabalajings:

Interviews are scheduled in about 2.5 months from the time reviewed P3 is mailed by NVC to the consulate. Since your file was mailed on 5/12, it is difficult to say whether it would be july/ august. Let me put it this way...assuming chennai processes cp cases the way they have been doing for last 4 months (averaging 75 EB cases per month), then you should get july interview. Best bet is to check with chennai consulate in the week of 7th june to see if you got july interview. All the best!
