Likely JULY interview -- CHENNAI --- TRACK HERE...
- Thread starter bvganesh
- Start date
Good job , Ganesh!
Appreciate the effort!
A small note to all candidates. Make a small note to yourself
about the Original documents that you should ask for return
at the counter.
Or give this note to your spouse and ask her/him to remind you.
In the excitement it is easy to forget.

Ganesh,
Good job! One does not need a sailing permit anymore. So you can delete that from the list.

Hi,
My wife's father's last name (ie her grandfather's first name) is different in the birth affidavit and the marriage certificate. Her birth affidavit uses the same last name as it appears in her father's passport - while the change is not drastic , the last name has been shortened- MY attorney asked me to use the same name as it appears in the affidavit. But to be on the safe side, do I need to obtain any certified document attesting that one name is an alias for the other ? Is such a document template available ? Is this exercise even necessary - should I just trust what my attorney says about this one ? Please advise.

Packet 3 Entered by NVC - May01,2003. Taking the avarage times for processing it looks like I will get an interview at Chennai not before August. But when filing my Packet 3, my lawer requested for a earlier July interview(request to the consulate). The reason given is childrens' school which opens in August. Any one has any idea if this is going to work? Did you guys know any such instances getting the nod? Please let me know. Thanks in advance.

Consider this...
The discretion lies with the consulate, not NVC. The consulate has to request the number of visas(GC) every month by a certain date 2 months before the interview month. So, if your review is completed by May 10th-15th, chances are that your case will reach the consulate around the 20th of this month, which puts you at good odds of getting an interview in July. However, if this timeline gets delayed by a few days, your case will get to the consulate after the deadline to request visas from the state dept-hence making it impossible to get an earlier interview. Once the case gets to the consulate and you know the likely month of interview, you can request an interview in a certain part of the month and with good reason, the consulate will accommodate your wishes. Hope this answers your question.

Re: can someone please clarify
You are right in using the name as it is spelt out in the affidavit.
If the difference is minor as you suggested, then it can be explained and the consulate should not make an issue out of it.
Normally they would be used to seeing minor differences in the documents.
When I say minor they are like this:
Varadaraj ( Varadarajan) , Chary ( Charyulu ) ,
and so on.
The affidavit is itself a self declaration for correctness of his name.
This should not be a problem..

Hello
I just found out about this discussion board and cptracker recently. Too bad, I missed out on valuable information all these days. I have gone through some discussion threads here, its really very good support structure that you all built here.
thanks so much.
I have couple of questions, can someone please let me know if you have any suggestions.
1) I heard that sometimes at the consulate, they ask for "Degree Validation" or a sealed official transcript of your undergrad degree. I did my Master's in the U.S and have a sealed transcript of that. Would I still have to get one for my undergrad degree?
2) PCC from Hyderabd - I got a PCC from Houston Indian Consulate and my lawyers sent a copy of that along with the Packet 3 to NVC. Would I need to get another local PCC from Hyderabad also? And if yes, would it be from the Passport office or Police department? I am having a tough time with that, since they changed the rules in Hyderabad now and need the person to be there and takes about two weeks to get it.
Can someone please advise
thank you!!
