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

To Cp_query

CP_QUERY,

when you rescheduled your interview for August, did you specify a preferred date-range (say for example, did you request a date between 08/xx and 08/yy), or did you just ask for an August-date?

Anybody here who requested a specific date-range and had your request fulfilled by the Consulate?
 
I requested them to schedule the interview on last of August but they scheduled it in the 2nd last week of August.

I did not ask them to change the date and avoid further confusion.

But I think you can ask for an available slot in a particular day (give some geniune valid reason) if the interview is in same month.

Your best bet is to call them if you think they are going to schedule your interview in August.
 
Picking up passport and Documents

Looking for a clarification about Mumbai Consulate:

Can you pick up all your documents (passport + Visa Packets) IN PERSON after the interview, instead of opting for the Courier to deliver it?

Is it necessary to pay for the Courier if you are going to pick up all your documents?

I think Chennai Consulate requires you to pay for the Courier, and they do NOT provide the option to pick up documents in person.

And CP-QUERY, thanks for your reply.

Thanks

{If Mumbai consulate has adopted the procedure of mailing the packets
by courier, then you would not have the option of saying no, and pick
them up personally.}

Is it necessary to pay for the Courier if you are going to pick up all your documents?

{True}

And CP-QUERY, thanks for your reply.

Raju, Alren,
thanks for your replies.

If we can pick up the packets in person, then, I suppose, we do not have to give a Bank Draft towards Courier Fees on the day of the interview. Can you please confirm, if we are NOT required to submit a Bank Draft of Rs 300 (or some like that) towards courier fees at the Consulate?

thanks

Courier fee is applicable only if the consulate sends the packets by courier.

IRS 9003 aka Sailing Permit is not required, and this has been the case for
more than a year now.

Appointments for a month are put out in the website around 15 th of the
earlier month. So you can expect August list anytime now.

Raju
 
I concur with the above.

In quite a long time, I have not heard of anybody requiring the sailing permit. It has not been asked so far in the recent past.

The primary applicant and dependents need to travel together OR the
dependents can follow at a later date. The dependents cannot enter US
before the Primary applicant.

Received P4 Yesterday

Yesterday I received my P4. It seems to be on time for me as I have my interview scheduled on Aug 26th (Might be because I postponed for July to be in August). Actually I have 2 P4 now. Might be as good as an extra forms if there is a mistake. No need to have a photo copy.

I don't see many CPers for August.
 
Employment Verification Letter

Hi,
can someone please post drafts of employment letters, or, point to the post where these have been posted before.

I also have a few questions about employment letter:

a) Some senior members like Alren have said that the CURRENT salary needs to be mentioned in the employment letter. However, my attorney says that the LC salary needs to be mentioned. I am confused. Can someone alleviate my confusion please.

b) Should the letter explicitly mention that I an currently employed in this position? Or should it altogether omit the fact that I am currently working, and only mention that I would be joining the company in the given position in future, subject to approval of my IV.

c) Should the job duties be described in the letter. Should this description match verbatim, the job description given in LC Petition.

Thanks a lot
Sanjay
 
Employment letter(EL)

As per my undestanding,EL shpuld stated about current position title and current salary and statement in letter like this we desire and intend to continue him in our full time permanent employ.

It should be issued( dated) within one month of IV interview.


I have one question- does it need to be notorized- even if is written in official letter head and signed by authority.
 
Yes rajan, it should be notorised. Talking about validity not exactly one month it can be around 2 to 3 months but the latest is always better.

Thanks

{Salary need to be the one mentioned in the labour certification documents, my attorney and the employer stated that part but at the consulate interview I am not sure if they verify it }

b) Should the letter explicitly mention that I an currently employed in this position? Or should it altogether omit the fact that I am currently working, and only mention that I would be joining the company in the given position in future, subject to approval of my IV.

{State the actual fact }

c) Should the job duties be described in the letter. Should this description match verbatim, the job description given in LC Petition.

{Not exactly needed }

Thanks a lot
Sanjay
