Likely JULY interview -- CHENNAI --- TRACK HERE...

Ganesh,

the 21 days that you are talking about is probably from Jan/Feb and some early march cases. Most of us from late March have had 14 day turnover from the time packet3 is received (not entered into system). NVC takes 3-7 days to enter your packet 3 into the system and from then it takes 5-10 days for review. Anyway, it is a good sign. We are all out of INS/BCIS bureaucracy for now and should feel happy!;)
 
Collect last 3 years' Tax copies from IRS ----

Where and How do I get these documents? Are these the same as the sheets filled by my H&R guy and signed by my wife and myself?. I already have the copies of sheets from H&R. But if the tax copies being mentioned here have to be collected from IRS then I guess they may be different, can some please help me with the form#'s etc, where to get them, how long does it take and this bit of my confusion if there is any. Thanks again - Ram1329

When you say tax copies, they are the copies of tax return which would have been given to you by H&R Block. You will have these.

Apart from these the document you can get from IRS are called
'Tax Transcripts'. These are official records of the IRS acknowledging your tax filings.

You can get these in two ways:

1) Through the automated phone system of the IRS. I don't
recall the number. Browse the forum or the net. You will get
it easily. The system drives. Once you order you will get these
in about 10 days.

2) The second method is going to your nearest IRS office and
requesting personally

Collect last 3 years' Tax copies from IRS ----

Thank you for the number & information.

I just called that number.
The lady who anserwed was pretty helpful.

For one year, it seems like they could it for free - for 2002, since its recent.

But for 2000 & 2001, she first asked me to fill out the form - 4506.
That can be either mailed in or I can take it to the local IRS office.
It is $23/each year.

But after requesting again, she agreed to mail everything to me - for 2000, 2001, 2002, today itself.
I'll post a message once I get the transcripts to confirm.

thanks
 
Thanks a lot Raju, for the IRS Tax Transcripts info.

Earlier Ganesh made a list of documents to be carried to Consulate - please add to that list - "several recent PAYSTUBS" ( my lawyer suggested me to have these handy) - Ram1329

If they are asking for money you would have asked for copies of
tax returns which you filed.

You don't require these, since you would have kept copies when you filed them.

What you need are 'Tax transcripts' which are given by the IRS
free of cost.

Once you order them they will be mailed and you will get them in
roughly 10 days.

Re: Collect last 3 years' Tax copies from IRS -

Yes, you are right.

Maybe she didn't know at first that they should be free.
She said what she is sending me are the tax transcripts and I didn't pay anything. Hopefully what she is sending are the right stuff.

thank you
 
Question regarding PCC

Guys,

Got my PCC issued from Chicago today. I just got a letter stating that :

"There is no adverse information against Mr. xxx who's passport # is yyy issued at zzzz on mmm-dd-yyyy which would render him ineligible for the grant of travel facilities."

Signed with a seal.

Also my passport has a statement saying that a PCC was issued on such and such date...

Is that all?

Cheers,
Ganesh.

I was just curious because the following link
http://travel.state.gov/nvc3.html#pc
mentions that the PCC should specify the duration of coverage like (from mmm-dd-yyyy to mmm-dd-yyyy)

Hmmm... interesting.

Cheers,
Ganesh.

What you and I received and what everyone receives is the same
format.

If you take a closer look , the Indian Consulate is taking a broader
responsibility (?) by not specifying a period.

Based on history, your interview will be in July.
 
>has anybody's case forwarded to Chennai in this month ( May ) ?


I can answer the question myself. My case is forwarded to Chennai today ( May 9 ).
 
That Newbie

Thanks Rajeev Kumar and bvganesh for your heads-up.
After hearing about 6day review, i checked the AVR.
Seems like my review was completed on 30-Apr(9days)

Dates as far as i can remember.
StL received Check = 4-Feb
NVC generates Pkt3 = 19-Feb
Pkt3 received by agent in US = 14-Mar
Pkt3 Fedexed to NVC from India = 8-Apr
Delay because of Q&As on filling DS230 between myself and Agent.
Fedex delivers at NVC = 10-Apr
NVC AVR's receipt date = 21-Apr.
NVC AVR case completed = 30-Apr.

Thanks,
 
July is getting hotter ;)

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..

Hi Raju,

Thanks so much for getting back to me - her father's last name has been shortened to "Narasimhan" from "Narasimhachari" - do you think this would be a problem ? It is quoted as Narasimhachari in the marriage registration certificate. Do you think I need to re-apply for the registration certificate just to make sure that all docs match ? any idea how long it would take to obtain another marriage certificate ?

Thanks,
Kant.
