Shall I get Jan interview?

Hi,

Mumbai consulate has received my packet on 6th Nov. Shall I get January interview? I've been living in India for last one year, are they going to put me in the first half of the month?

Thanks.

Luit
 
You will get a Jan Interview. Add 60 to 75 days to your Date of receipt for the consulate date.

Cheers,
Bapa

this is the text of reply i got from consulate ...

-----------------------

O.k., we will schedule you and your spouse for an interview in
mid-January
2003. You may check with us again by December 11-12, 2002 re exact
interview date.
 
bsoni,
It seems that u left a message on their mail box - right ? Or is it the reply to ur e-mail
cheers!!
Ranen
 
Thanx. Actually, I didn't get back any reply after the first one. I don't know how long we need to keep our patience !!!
cheer!!
Ranen
 
i think you will also be scheduled in January ... just send a very very pleading and short request.

I even thought of adding, please reply to this email to calm my nerves, prevent me from going beserk or some indian style idioms like, have mercy in the name of God, my kids will always thank you, allah ke nam pe dede baba ...
 
since nobody answered my earlier post, i am repeating my question here, Please reply ...

Is there any problem in getting rid of my apartment in US before going for the interview at Mumbai consulate.

-b.
 
Bsoni - Let me try to answer you question. This answer is based on from one of the post I read from immigration-information.com and replied by Attorney Ron Gotcher. From what I understood, the meaning does as follows:

You dont necessarily need to have a residence in US. You can give one of your friends or family contact address for receiving your correspondence from them.

Ranen - Any idea what would be the cut off date for interviews in January and what should be probably cut off date for February. Did you get any dates from consulate yet ?

Take Care,

Welcome back to this thread. Man, we want more acive participation from you.
Yesterday I luckily got through Mumbai consulate. I called them around 9:45PM of Chicago. The lady on the other side mentioned that my interview would be on Jan. On my repeated request for possible hardships in reserving tickets, she just mentioned - "I know" !! Anyway, at last my request beat her tight-leap wall and she mentioned it may be Jan last week - but she mentioned to contact by 12/12/02.

As per ur Q regarding cut-off date, here's my anticipation -
11/27/02 is the cut-off date for Jan-03
AND
12/30/02 for Feb-03.
But remember -it's my own anticipation - so happy hunting !!!

By the way ,what's ur status ?

Moreover if any of u r calling Mumbai consulate u need to prefix "2" to the actual 7-digit number - India is probably the first country of the world having 8-digit ph # - certainly a big market and can turn the health of sicking telecom industries !!!
cheers!!
