Sreek,

I did the lab tests at Lister today. I gave a 2x2 and it was accepted without any questions. In fact I was not even asked to show the appointment letter. Hope this info helps.

Thanks,
DA

Jalabalajings, Thanks for your prompt update. It certainly appeared from my phone call to them last night that they do not care about the dimensions of the photograph so long as it is passport size (2'x2' US size, or the traditional Indian size).

Given your recent experience I would appreciate your feedback on whether you were able to collect the P4(appointment letter) from the consulate on the day of the medical tests and make it to the Lister Lab before 9-9.30am. I might have to do that and wonder what time the consulate service that gives you the appointment letter, opens in the morning. I hope to be able to collect the medical test results from Lister the same day before leaving Madras to come back only the night before the interview.

Thanks for your reply and wish you the best for D-day,
Sreek

1. Name of spouse and children accompanying or following to join person: ?

What should be the reply for this ?

Since you would be preparing a seperate I-134 for each of the dependents,
you can just say 'None' here.

Normally you don't need to carry a I-134 for your US born baby since he/she
is not part of your GC process.

In my personal opinion you need to carry, because even if the child is US born, the parent is fiscally responsible.

It will be your choice, if you carry , you would be politically correct. If you
don't, it is not going to be a problem.

mention your no., i assume U 've one. I not don't.

Also check on if SSA should issue a new card to U.
 
If I-134 is printed in two pages is OK or It has to be printed back-to-back in same paper.

Please clarify guys...

I have one.
If SSA has to issue, would they issue a new number or a new card ?
So it is optional, is that right ?

{It is optional but I think your present one will be having words like "valid with INS authorization" so if you think that you don't need it any more then you can check for new one, anyways there is no harm in checking it }

Sreek,

I just took the e-mail I got from the consulate to the Lisater lab. I did not collect the copy of the P4. Even at Dr. Vijayalakshmi's office I shoed them the E-mail and it was accepted without any grumbles. So, you don't require the P4 (or) the copy of P4 when doing medicals if you have the e-mail sent by the consulate.
