i am going through Mumbai consulate . Is there any person going through Mumbai consulate did the same thing .

please help.

Soumi,

The process is quite simple. You either have to send the passport to the nearest Consulate General of India or just go there in person. They would ask you to fill out a miscellanous form (can be downloaded from the web site) and submit both your passport's. I think the fee is $10 for each applicant. You also have to send them copy of marriage certificate. You should call your nearest CGI and find out their requirements. I got it done from CGI Houston in a day. If your marriage certificate is issued by US Govt then you to notrize the copy and a letter requesting them for endorsement. Also it is better to endorse in both your passport's with each other's name. If you look thru this thread luxgc has also posted a detailed description.

Expected interview.

I have read the above posts.. congratulations to everyone who have received August interview. I would like to share some of my details.
My case category : F4
Case processing completed by NVC : 28th May, 2003.
Case entered into consulate's system : 03rd June, 2003.
Local consulate : Mumbai.

Can i expect an August interview. I doubt an August interview because of the oversubscription of India chargeability that would affect applicant's of F4 :( :(. I would appreciate your responses :) :) :). If any of the F4 applicant's have got their interview's in August please post your details.:confused:
 
Soumi,

You will not get a new passport for adding your spouse name. They will enter the spouse name in your current passport.

Booker, luxGC ; I am from Dallas and getting lowest price in Cathay Pacific through far east, (LA as POE). Difficult to get DFW as port of entry. No return tickets available in Lufthansa. ( other than in the date Sept 11th) . Also AA-Emirates is available , but pretty costly. If you guys come across some good deal, please let's know.

Hello msns,

I have blocked ticket's in Lufthansa for $1275 +tax(around $120) leaving on the 22nd of Aug and returning on the 22nd of Sep(Dallas-Chennai-Dallas). I think it is a pretty good deal. I blocked it thru Sky Line Travels based on Irving.
