Hi All,
I am a new member. I recently obtained (on July 16) my case number from the Mumbai consulate and am a candidate for Sept/Oct interview.
It would be very helpful if you'all could tell me about
1. documents that need to be notarized. Do the lawyers have the authority to notarize it or do i have to use a third party.
2. earlier in June, I emailed the consulate in Mumbai and they informed me that I should get a PCC from the nearest indian embassy as well a police certificate from the local police station under which my address in India falls. Does anybody here have an idea about the format of that letter?
Thx
There are licensed Notory, who are authorized to sign. Similar to those in India. There must be in your company or bank. They will do for free. Otherwise you will find in MAIL BOX Etc. or search in yellow pages. They will generally charge $5 per document.
You will need to notorize the employment letter puls I-134 (if there is any dependent immigrating with you).
Local PCC is not required if you are corrently living in US. If you had asked that question few months back then there was some confusion in Mumbai consulate, later they clarified. May like to send an email again with case#.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Format for local PCC (in case):
This is to certify that Mr/Ms xyz was resident of abc cithy at 123 address from mm/dd/yyyy to mm/dd/yyyy.
Till date there is no adverse record againt Mr/Ms xyz in our record.
Suptd. Of Police
zzz Place
"Generally you have to apply with two copy of photo & some additional proof of your residence. There is some fee in some states."
