Likely MAY interview at CHENNAI--> --> -->

Interview Date

The Chennai consulate will not be able to answer a direct
question about May interview dates yet!

With any luck we may be able to get this information from around
6 th or 7th of this month ( April)

The standard answer right now is to contact them after
15th of April.

I have also emailed to Chennai consulate on last Friday.

I got a reply today saying "yes. we have recieved your case. Currently we have not scheduled any interview date for you. Your new address is noted'.

Hopefully we will come to know around 10th of this month (via interview letters that my get posted to Indian local address).

Thanks,

Raju,
NY consulate was not convinced with my explanation. I had to reapply for the new PCC. But the consulate did give me a reference number for my case the next day with which I can follow up in India.

But today I received another email from consulate for my question about PCC validity stating the big explanation from website that if we had stayed in any country for a year , then we need to have PCC from that country including home country.
So I guess the home country PCC will be taken care of by the consulate in NY. But do we have to get a PCC from here in US from my local state/city Police Authorities?
Can anyone confirm this?
This could be another issue related to PCC.
 
Don't worry!

Before we start another wave of panic, the FBI checks/background checks which slowed down most of our I-140s are the local police clearance for USA. You don't need any police clearance from here. But if you stayed in any other country for a period of 6 mos or more, you need PCCs from that/those country/ies.
 
Lavanya ,

Sorry to hear about the stand taken by the consulate. Though
it appears illogical to us, they must have some reason for that.

Anyway, try to follow up with the passport office in India to
expedite the response.

Now, about your question about the PCC for your stay in US.
The answer is no. You do not need a police clearance for your
stay in US. They have online mechanism to take care of this.

Hi

Has anyone had their wife's last name changed after marriage? If one did'nt change it, is CP a correct time to change wife's last name, to reflect husband's last name. Or is it bad timing?

Thanks

name change

virginia boy
My wife's name was changed after marriage. Infact, the complete name was changed. But both our passports reflect it and we had to execute a deed poll to do the same.

Thanks,
 
Fresh PCC got within 3 days!

I have recieved Fresh PCC today.
I have applied for PCC on 3/28/03 to embassy at Washington DC. I had my previous PCC issued in October 2002. I have attached a copy of that PCC for their reference.

Just now I have received FedEx cover with my passport and PCC from Indian Embassy.

Thanks,
Puliraju.
 
Thanks all for the clarification.

Puliraju,
It is a great news that you have received it in three days. Unbelievable! Congrats!
 
Puliraju,

Good to hear this news. Your success shoud give others some
hope about this process.

sv4G,

Congrats on completion of the review process. Going by the
history, you are more likely to have your interview in June rather
than in May. For that reason I have not updated the list with your
details.

Guys,
Does any one have approximate idea when they mail out packet 4. Do they mail it to both US and local address (if specified) at the same time ?

Thanks,
 
At Last:) :) :) :) :) :) Approved

Hi Friends,

My case is approved today. I called NVC and they said my case has been aproved and it will take 2 to 4 weeks before it is send to Madras. Normally, how long it took for you guys to reach Madras. Can I still can expect June Interview? Can anyone estimate my probable interview date. Thanks in advance!!!!
 
It takes roughly 10 to 12 days from the date of review completion,
for the case to reach Chennai Consulate.

The month would be June.

About the date, your guess is as good as any one else's.
For employment categories it is normally the second half of
the month.
