'Mumbai Confirmed/Likely Interview dates in July/August/September'

packet 4 arrrival from Mumbai

Hi,

I am going through reglar consular processing. The mumbai consulate web-site tells that my interview date is on July 21 2004. But I have not received the packet 4 which has the appointment letter for medical tests along with other stuff...

I have booked tickets and all so I am a little worried.

Have any of you who has the interview in July, got their Packet-4's or appointment letter for medical tests till now ?

Thanks

Sailing Permit?

Anybody bothering to take the Sailing Permit? Is it the same as IRS 9003, or are those two different? IRS 9003 is no more required, right???

TAGS: CVIS

SUBJECT: IRS Form 9003 No Longer Required

Neither BCIS nor IRS is collecting IRS Form 9003 ("Additional Questions to be Completed by All Applicants for Permanent Residence in the United States") from those applying for entry at POEs with an IV or DV. NVC and KCC do not include IRS Form 9003 in the Packet 4 mailing. Effective immediately, consular officers no longer need to collect this form from IV/DV applicants and include it in the packet for BCIS. Applicants should not be refused 221(g) for lack of an IRS Form 9003. FAM note 42.33, PN5.2 has been corrected to omit Form 9003 from the list of documents to be included in the IV packet.

Above posted is the colin powell's message...It is not at all required...

Hi

Even if your lawyer has signed it, you need to get it notarized from a Notary Public in "US" for accuracy of information.

You will need to get your letter from employer notarized.

Regarding Bank Statement, there is no necessity to get it notarized. Call your Banks' customer service number and find out if they will issue letter reflecting your account. Normally all banks have that service, my bank charges 10$s for such letter. They provide information about the account and address it to whoever you request them to.
 
I134

Thanks a lot everyone!! FOR YOUR INPUT ON THE i134 ISSUE. i GOT MY i134 NOTARIZED today. SO THAT ISSUE IS LAYED TO REST.

I got the i 134 on a single sheet of paper back tp back and notarized on the back side where I signed.

packet 4

Does any one know to what address does the Mumbai Consulate send the packet 4 to ? If any one knows to what address other consulates in India send their packets to even that would help as we can expect the Mumbai consulate to do the same.

Has any one tried asking the consulate whether the packets for last week & second last week of july have been sent ? I tried I did not get a reply yet.

Did anyone have to send someone in Mumbai to collect their packet 4's ?

:confused:

thanks,
sth.

{by default to the address you have filled in Item # 13 of DS 230 Part I.


However you have the option of getting the packet 4 to an address in
India by communicating the same to the consulate by email. }

{Candidates can send a representative to the consulate to collect packet 4 or a copy on their behalf}

Spend some time researching the forums and you can gather a lot of
information.
