Likely JUNE CP at CHENNAI- track here!!!

Thanks guys,
I prefer a july interview, as july will be less hotter than May, June in Chennai.
This forum is a good source of information and help.Keep up the good work guys!
Good luck to Srini and Raju for your interviews!
 
What exactly does the review of the case mean?Do they check each and every detail we have filled out or see if we have answered all the questions they have asked?
And do we have to fill out DS-230 part-1 again at the consulate?

ANs: they will check each and every line of DS230 part 1 ,whether all lines are filled with respective INfo or not. Sometimes if you miss some dates in places of stay etc, they will find and send back to you for correction.

And do we have to fill out DS-230 part-1 again at the consulate?

NOt excatly, generally chennai asks people to change all places where we have written N/A as per instruction in form to NONE.
 
Thanks chicago vaasi.

It is good to know that people are deriving benefit out of this
forum.

There seems to be a subtle change in what happens after
the Packet 3 reaches the NVC. Earlier I believe the background
checks were taking place at this point.

Now I think the checks are made earlier as part of I-140 approval.
This could be one reason for the fast turn around time.

Basically they check whether all the items are answered or not.

They also check to see whether there are any gaps in the
periods where we enter our place(s) of residence.

So, avoiding RFEs at this point is entirely in the hands of the
candidate. If they are careful while filling and cross checking the
entries, the review process is very simple, and fast.

Hi guys,
My case has been entered in the system on april 3rd.But now I realize I have made a small mistake in the places I have lived for more than six months.There is no gap in my entries but there is overlap of a few months,though the whole period has been covered.Do you think there will be a query for this.Please advise.
 
chicago vaasi ,

I have read about a case where they found a gap of 2 months
and asked for clarification.

In your case they may point out and seek clarification, OR
with luck it may pass through. Just sit tight.

Raju
 
In my case the period in question was spent in US and there is just overlap of period ,and there is no gap.The whole period was in different places in US.I am hoping lady luck will be with me to take care of the review,without queries.
Thanks Raju for the reply.

Confused state for booking tickets -- waiting for your quick reply!!

Hi Friends,
It seems most of you people are exactly in the same state as mine( i.e packet 3 sent to Chennai consulate on Apr - 2nd).

As always, I need your suggestion friends.

I am from Detroit. When I checked with somany airline agencies they are warning me that it is very difficult to get the air tickets for travelling in June if I plan to book after May 15th. Even if I get the ticket, fare may go beyond $2000.

At any point of time I can take only 3 weeks of vacation. Right now, I blocked for my tickets for June 10th travel and return on July 6th. Now I have to decide whether I should confirm these tickets or not in next two days.

I am in very confused state now whether I should buy the ticket or should I wait till may 15th to see if my interview comes in June or goes to July( I pray for not to happen this!!)

Can you please advise me and if possible please share how you people are planning your trips??

Thank you in advance guys,
sam.
 
Silent Members

This message is to all the senior members regarding "silent" members.

I have been probably more or less a "silent" member of this forum for the past few months. I have chosen to post messages only when it looks like there is no answer to it and I have one!

Maybe thats the reason why so many members remain "silent". Its probably because you guys are doing such a good job that it becomes redundant to participate with repetitive answers! For the purposes of keeping track of information, "CP Tracker" is doing a fantastic job..

Thanks for all the help guys! Hopefully, I can continue to provide any help if and when needed and hopefully, the others will be doing the same

Cheers!

Sam,
the airfares will fluctuate; you get the tickets when you think the price is right. It is highly likely that you will get a june interview. it is also customary that chennai schedules interviews towards the end of the month-so your plan should work out OK. In my case, both me and my wife will travel for 2 weeks-so I am planning on waiting until I get some indication from Chennai re: our CP dates.
:)
 
silent members

spulapak,
I will illustrate the reasons why we need more participation. I have been getting quite a few emails from the so called silent members as well as some of our regular posters with questions and comments. I understand some info might be private that you do not want to share with other people. I have answered all of them, but have requested that they post in the forum-so that many more people with solutions and comments may respond-and also many others with similar questions might find answers. While one does not harm the forum by silently browsing, one is not 'sharing' one's personal experience/opinion which would contribute to the usefulness of the forum. Now, if you still want to be silent, so be it. But I am sure more people will start posting if they give it a moment's thought. Thank you.:)
 
silent members

Rajeev,

I certainly agree with you that contributing in the forum will be very useful. I was just trying to point out the fact that people might be finding that the answers to various questions asked here are already given out by the time we get to them! I for one will definitely try to increase my participation as much as possible so long as I dont increase redundancy............

Thanks for all the comments and tips you have provided so far!!

Regards,
spulapak
 
I have a question!

My attorney told me that I don't need a I-134 as both me and my wife are working. Anybody in a similar situation? Am I safe if I go to CP with our bank statements, W2s and paystubs, or do I need I-134? Your input is appreciated.:confused:
 
June/ July airfares

I went to India on last year during the same season & I got roundtrip tickets for some where around 1500 USD to Chennai (Lufthansa).

It won't go to 2000 unless if you buy a just week before the travel. I hope chennai will anounce our dates atleast by May 15th so that we can block tickets in June second/third week.

Thanks,
 
Likely in June - From Chennai Consulate

hellogc,

Even the May candidates have not got the dates yet.

I-134:

You do not have to show any documents to the Notary who does
the notorization. It is your declaration.

You would have to fill all the information. He/She would enter the
details in his/her area.

Case received in chennai;

interview in june. Got an email reply to my query. A little secret-you may request an interview during a particular period within that month-only if you have a valid reason! My wife is graduating on June 19th and the consulate said 'we can accomodate' to my request to schedule an interview after June 24th.:D
 
question on employment letter

CPers,

How long before the interview date can an employment letter be issued? Is there any requirement as to the length of time the letter is issued before the interview?

I'm expecting an interview in June, but I might have to go to India in early May so Im wondering if its OK to get the employment letter issued right now.



Thanks!
