Guys,

Can you share the format of the email you have send to mumbai consulate, also should we ask Mumbai consulate if we need local PCC too in the email so we can print that and take it if they insist on local PCC,

Thanks,

GC

Consulate web-site clearly tells you when you do not need a local PCC use link http://usembassy.state.gov/mumbai/wwwhimmi.html#police
Here is what I sent to MumbaiIV@state.gov :
Dear Sir/Madam,
My case file was sent to Mumbai consulate on Sept. 29 2004.
Case# BMB**********
Category: EB3
Name: Ram_frm_RIC.

I am expecting an interview date in December, if my interview date is set could you please let me know the date? That will help me in making travel arrangements.

Thank you in advance.

Sincerely,
Ram_frm_RIC.

Good luck,
Ram_frm_RIC.
 
Ram_Frm_RIC,
Did you sent an email to US Consulate Mumbai again to get the interview date recently? I got a reply from US Consulate, mumbai in last week of october saying that they are going to schedule my interview in December but didn't got any particular date. Today I sent a email again to check for dates.

thanks,

spb999,
I had sent them an e-mail on 10/22 asking about my interview date and got a reply next day which said "they will schedule my interview in December and I should check on web-site". After that I did not send any e-mail to consulate but got an e-mail from them on 11/02 saying that my interview is on Dec 27th.
I am kind of surprised to see them take the initiative and send out an e-mail like that. Has this happened to anyone here on this forum before?

Ram_Frm_RIC,
I didn't received any email about the exact date from US Consulate mumbai, but after seeing your email, I sent another email to them yesterday to see if they can tell us the interview date so that it will be easy for me to book travel tickets.

thanks,

All,
Finally I was able to talk US consulate Mumbai, My interview date is set for DEC08'04 in the morning. Consulate said they sent my packet 4 to me on Nov 3rd. Waiting for it. Its getting hard to get tickets for Bombay on DEC 1st week.

thanks,

thats good...I have no idea how these people work. My case was sent on Sept 29 and I have not heard anything from them. I will definately call them on Monday. Are you EB2 or EB3? Maybe it depends on this??

Also, just confirming - was your case sent in October from NVC??

Thanks

I sent them an email yesterday and tried calling them at various times through the night but either no one picks up the phone or it is not possible to get through. I will try calling again today. Until and unless I know my date, I cannot book my flights. I hope these people did not screw up in any way.

Thanks.

Shishir,
Congratulations and all the best... I will follow you to Mumbai sometime in second week of Dec. My interview date is 27th Dec, I have not received the interview letter yet.
Sanjay,
My case is EB3 and our cases were sent to Mumbai on same day (29th Sept). I hope you too get your interview around Dec 27th so we can meet in Mumbai.

Folks,

Just wanted to give an update - my interview is set for Dec 9. I got an email from consulate. I will leave on Nov. 22. My Packet 4 was sent on Nov 3 and I hope I receive it before I leave.

Quick questions:

1). What if I do not receive the Packet before leaving?

2). What information does the Packet contain except for the Interview appointment letter?

3). Can I request the consulate to send me stuff by email?

Thanks
S

Thats crazy, Sanjay,
how did you get to know that the interview is on Dec 9th.
My case was sent on 10/15 do you think there is a chance in December for Chennai ?

Sanjay,
Congratulations! As our case was sent to Mumbai on same date I was hoping we will have same interview date and was looking forward to meet you. Looks like you will be back in US before I go for my interview. All the best with your interview and hope you get the interview letter before you leave. Keep posting your experiences.

Easy Question

Friends,

I am struggling and waiting for my GC through 485. Finally, have decided to switch to CP.

I believe Mumbai consulate accepts 824's receipt. Assuming that I get my receipt in hand, and decide to pursue CP wiht Mumbai,

how long approx. (best and worst case) does it take to get GC (i.e interview date)

Please let me know.

Thanks.
 
Sanjay,
Are you EB2 or EB3?
