likely Chennai April 2004 Interview

Hi kd1403
Thanks for taking time to reply.
By labour application I meant the application for labour clearance for GC. And by labour certification I meant the final determination letter which says my labour is cleared for GC. I am not talking about H1B anywhere. Sorry for confusing you with my, not so right, choice of terms!!!

Hi

question regarding bank statements:

-what exactly should I be taking from my bank?

-should I get a verification letter from the bank manager too?

{Actually there is more than one way of obtaining these
statements.

a) As most of the banks offer the statements on line, you
can down load statements for 3 or 4 months. These
statements show the opening balance, the transaction
summary and closing balance.

It would be good if these statements are from the bank
where your salary gets deposited (if it is a direct deposit)

OR/ AND

b) Go to the bank and ask for the statement or a letter,
which would show when the account was opened , the
average balance and so on.

Either (a) or (b) or both would be OK}

-should I get a verification letter from the bank manager too?
if so what should the contents of the letter be? A sample letter would be great.

{as above. Look out if someone points you to a template}

thanks

meera:

most banks have templates ready for such purposes.

Make sure that bank letter has following details:
1. Preferrably be on bank letterhead
2. Account holders names
3. Account opening date
4. Current balance in checking and / or savings account.
5. If possible a statement that Account is in good standing since its inception.
 
???

All,
In one of the earlier chats they said that Crystal Residency is not the worth place, is there any other place? I didn't book anything until now.

kd1403,
I have more than 20% change of pay.... will it be a problem(around 22%)? Although it is around 20% itself I had that doubt.

Leaving to India tomorrow (04/09)
Lister Labs and Dr. V - 04/17
Appointment - 04/20.

Thanks....

sunjay:

From what i hear it should not be a problem, but again what i normally recommend folks with such situation is to be prepared to answer any tricky questions asked and also carry strong financial documents of your sponsoring company toi prove that your company is in good financial standing to continue paying what you earn currently althought it may be well below LC stated salary. But definitely carrry notarized employment letter to that effect!
 
I 134 for kids

Hi
Coming back to the I 134 for US born kids, i have some doubts.

Once again do I need to execute I 134 for them too?

While I was filling my spouse's affidavit, in #3 I put her name, apparently, and then below it spouse and kid who will join the person part, i will have to mention both my kids name, right?

Then when i fill my kids I 134, what do i do fill in this spouse and kid info part in #3? Do i change the subheading to mother and brother!?

Thanks in advance,

Sav Rav

The form I-134 when filled is for one single person, so you can
write 'None' under Item # 3.

Coming to the question of providing Form I-134 for US born
Children there are two thoughts on this.

a) It is not required because the children by virtue of their
US citizenship are not part of the whole process.

b) On the otherhand if you are listing out the dependends
for whom you are financially responsible, then the US
born children should be mentioned.

Hence, just to be technically correct, it may be a good idea to
carry a seperate I-134 for each of the US born children. For all
that I know they may not even look at it.

Hi

Can somebody tell me what to fill in this point in I 134:

#10. That I have submitted visa petition/s to the Immigration and Naturalization Service on behalf of the following person(s). If none state none.

Should i fill in my spouse's name and what is the date submitted they are asking for?

Thanks,
Savrav
 
savrav:

I am guessing you will fill something if you haev sponsored someone else's visa which you have not. IF your spouse is on h-4 which is based on your h-1 then also you can write none in that field. This is what i did!
 
Hi KD1403,
My doubt is whether I should include my spouse's name since she is included in my gc petition. And in that case do I give the I 140 application date?
Thanks
Savrav
 
savrav:

There is no need to include your spouses name under Q10 since you are already filling this i-134 for her.

Not sure where you need to include i-140 date...there i no need!
 
Blue Dart Courier in Chennai

What time approximately does BlueDart Deliver in Chennai the documents? (to Chennai Local Address). I am planning to make travel plans from Chennai accordingly.

Thanks and eagerly waiting for the Interview day (April 20th)
 
wiz:

Blue dart has number of services and various charges. The one that is used by consulates to return your passport and cp approval papers arrives next day by noon or if it bounces if not was at home or the address mentioned at delivery time then day after that delivery date. So if your interview is on 4/20 expect your packet returned by blue dart on 4/21 noon or 4/22 if you missed it on 4/21.
 
Hi
I had some changes done in my offer letter, but yet to receive it in hand. If by some reason i don't receive it by Saturday, can i get a offer letter from the Indian office of my company. Is it OK to have a job offer letter issued by the branch office in India, notarized there?
Please reply.
Savrav
 
sav rav,

I think its not possible.

1. The offer letter must be by the company in US.
2. Notarization must be done in US. There is no other option.
 
savrav:

I concur with cpzinga that a notarized from your indian company has no value. You HAVE to get the letter on your usa company letterhead and notarized in usa.

There are no if's and but's about this!
 
Successful Chennai Interview -April 20, 2004

EB-2 Interview SUCCESSFUL on April 20th, 2004 @ Chennai. Received the Sealed Documents on April 21st @ 10:30 AM in Chennai.

Port-of-Entry: April 30th, Detroit. Should go smooth.

The list of documents posted by KD and the Others is what I followed. EXTREMELY HELPFUL.

Suggestion /Advice for the Future CPers:

1. Take the documents in an open plastic cover. I took in a "Black-Zippered" bag and had to check it at the nearerst pawn-shop.

2. Do not have any sealed envelopes (other than the Medicals). My Transcripts were in a sealed envelope and I had go outside of the consulate and tear it.

3. Diaper bag: for folks with little ones -- do not pack everyhing in the big "Toys R Us" bag. Take what your child would ABSOLUTELY NEED in an open plastic cover.

(Essentially, I had to run to the pawn-shop twice...once to check my Document bag, and the second time to check the Diaper bag)
