I-130 for Consular Processing

Pcc

Hi,
If you filing your papers for your relative from India, you should not have any problem with the PCC

I could get the PCC with 2 weeks from the District SP office without any problem. I also had my spouse contact the passport office for the POPC. Passport office said that they would be able to provide within 3~4 weeks.

I understand that you need both PCC from the Police Dept and the POPC from the passport office. Please confirm?

Thanks

Regarding PCC: If you are from India...go to the nearest DCP office and fill i the form (fee is Rs 250) and they should have it in about 15 days .. you do not need a proof for filling an immigration...

If beneficiary has got a passport in last 6 months, just go to the Passport office and get a copy of the police clearance they have for getting passport.

No, I am not from India. I am from the Caribbean, Jamaica to be exact and it seems that they need something more than just ID in order to issue the PCC. NVC breaks down the document requirements by country on their website and it clearly states that the benificiary must bring evidence of why they are requesting the PCC. The problem is I can't think of where to find such a document and I don't know of any such document that NVC issues :(.
 
Feliz.. AVS message changed to "Forwarded to embassy on Nov 02". Same with you? I guess at this point, it is just "ornamental"!!

Hi there! My AVR sais "forwarded" on Oct 29, updated on Oct 30, but I haven't seen any DHLs going towards my embassy, so it is probably also sent on Nov 2 too and will show up tomorrow, but whatever it is, I am gonna stop freaking out till the interview.

My mom did her medical yesterday and it confirmed ok today, so I have enough good news to sustain me today :)
 
Feliz-LA,

Did during medical they asked for Bloodpressure or diabeties...

My parents have BP/Diabetes...wondering if that could be a problem.

During medical they are not supposed to take sugar, but they measure BP 100%, so if your parents have chronic diseases - search forum, embassy may require a proof of health insurance.

there is a list of diseases somewhere on forum - that can be a reason for denial and or delay - basically all socially dangerous ones - like psychosis, chemical addiction, HIV, syphilis, dangerous airborne infections etc.

1. Communicable Diseases of Public Health Significance
The previous law provided for a list of "dangerous contagious diseases" (active tuberculosis, human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infection, infectious syphilis, chancroid, gonorrhea, granuloma inguinale, lymphogranuloma venereum, and Hansen's disease (leprosy)). Applicants with any of these diseases were excludable. The new law refers to these as "communicable diseases of public health significance."
I-2
2. Mental Conditions
Under the old law, aliens who were mentally retarded, insane, had had one or more attacks of insanity, were afflicted with psychopathic personality, sexual deviation, or mental defect, or who were narcotic drug addicts or chronic alcoholics, were ineligible for visas and were excluded from admission into the United States. As amended, the Immigration and Nationality Act no longer lists specific physical or mental conditions that automatically exclude an alien but instead requires a determination of whether an alien has a physical or mental disorder and associated behavior that has posed or is likely to pose a threat to the property, safety, or welfare of the alien or others.
3. Criminal Behavior
Aliens convicted of certain criminal acts are excludable under other sections of the Immigration and Nationality Act, regardless of their health status. A history of criminal behavior associated with a physical or mental condition that has posed a threat to the property, welfare, or safety of the alien or others, even without a conviction, may be used by the panel physician to determine whether an alien has an excludable condition.
4. Drug Abuse or Addiction
The amendments to the Act replace the previous exclusion of "narcotic drug addicts" with a broader category: "drug abuser or addict." The broader category includes aliens who are engaged in the nonmedical use of any substance named in section 202 of the Controlled Substances Act, as amended (21 U.S.C. 812) (appendix A).
5. Alcohol Abuse or Dependence (Alcoholism)
The Act as amended does not refer explicitly to alcoholics or alcoholism. Evaluation for alcohol abuse or dependence is included in the evaluation for mental and physical disorders with associated harmful behavior.
6. Exclusion on Public Charge Grounds
As under the previous law, in addition to the examination for specific excludable medical conditions, aliens will be examined for other physical or mental abnormalities, disorders, diseases, or disabilities that would be likely to render the alien unable to care for himself or herself or to attend school or work, or that might require extensive medical care or institutionalization. Thus, certain conditions (e.g., mental retardation) that are no longer explicitly listed as excludable conditions may result in exclusion under this section if the consular officer determines that family or other resources to care for the person do not exist.

nsvr.. thank you.

Have you called USCIS about your case? I don't know if this has any significance or not, I had called and spoke to "IO"s for both my parent's I-130s, and coincidentally they both were approved within a day or two.

So, may be you need to call, tell them something so that they transfer you to an IO, and just have the IO check on the case.

I called a lot too, like every 3 days, Good Luck, nsvr!
 
Feliz/VisaNutz,
Should I call them at the same number: 1-800-375-5283? How do I reach the IO? What phone options should I press?

Appreciative the information

Thanks
 
Hi everyone,

I sent a form DS-230 on 0ct.27, 2009 and was received on 0ct.29 according AVR. Today around 5pm my login failed at US department of state. Does this mean my DS-230 is acceptable? Any reply is appreciated. Thank you.
 
Hi guys. Here we go again...I guess for as long as I live in the US I will have some kind of connection with USCIS and it will never be a plesent one :(.
Anyway, i filed for my Mom in August and noticed that most people around the time I filed have moved onto NVC. Should I be getting worried at this point? Seems like the timeline for Calafornia center is about 2 months before the case moves to NVC....
Anybody else in the same boat as I am?

I think it's 1,2,3 to get to a live agent. And then, just tell the agent that you need to speak to a IO.

Usually it means they are reviewing the docs and you should get a "case completed" msg in the AVS in about 3 days.
 
i think you schedule an infopass and check whats the hold up...i sent mine july 31 and it was approved by USCIS sept 14 and not im just waiting for them to approve my DS230 before interview....i have seen a lot of august filers who are approved already and are moving on to NVC.

I called an IO office to let them know that I inadvertantly left the name of the "Consulate" Blank. At my request, she updated the Consulate name as "Chennai" and told to have patience as the application is "under process".

Any body else on this forum for "Chennai". I am not sure if the if the name should be "Chennai" or "Madras". Could you advice please

Thanks
