NVC->St Louis->NVC->Consulate Part 2

Hopefully you will get June Interview!

There are three people with the same dates (me, nsg & green_my_green). All are going to Chennai Consulate. Hopefully we all get June interview! Does anybody know how long (or should I say how early) does chennai take to provide a possible interview date?

Good luck everyone!

Thanks
 
Possible June interview in Chennai

Update: my review was completed on 4/8/02.

I checked with Chennai today (4/18/02) and they confirmed that they already received my case and that my interview might be in June!

Pleasantly surprised that the NVC mailed the case immediately after review and Chennai received it in ten days time.

Chennai informed that it will take 8 weeks to schedule the interview. They didn\'t clarify whether it is 8 weeks from the date of their receipt or from entering into the system. But based on my case, I think it is 8 weeks for receipt.

Hope everything goes smoothly for everyone.

Next worry - plane tickets. Good luck to all..

Update on possibility of June interview

Green_my_green-

FYI - NVC completed my review on 4/8/02. Looks like they mailed it immediately because Chennai consulated confirmed that they have received my case. (I checked on 4/17/02). Chennai also informed that the interview might likely be in June.

Do we have to mail form DS-2001 before an appointment is given?

Hi XML,

Form DS-2001 (may be part of Packet 3) is the one that indicates that we have all the documents needed for the interview and hence are ready for the interview. Is this form required before the interview is fixed? There is something like this (form OF-169 is the old version of DS-2001) mentioned on the Chennai US consulate web site also (may be that information applies to the old process).

For more info visit: http://www.immihelp.com/index.html

also vist: http://madras.sphynx.com/wwwhfaq.php3?cat=4 and look for the FAQ "When am I going to get an appointment"

Please let me know what you think? Does the new process require the DS-2001?

Please let me know what you think? The question I have is "does the consulate require the DS-2001 before it fixes the interview"?
 
No Title

The consulate does require DS230 Part1 to schedule the appointment, bcos that is where you specify imp info like the number of secondary
applicants and all the biographic details. DS230 Part 2 is part of PKT 4, which we submit at the time of appointment.

In our case, we already have filled in (Pkt3 ) and sent it out to NVC, and I am assuming that NVC would forward the same (PKT 3 ) back to consulate and the consulate schedules the interview.

what\'s the concern here?
 
Local address - what exactly is the advantage?

Hi Folks,

Can someone clearify what exactly is the advantage of providing a local address to the consulate when waiting for an interview?

Also, it will be helpful if you indicate how to provide the address to Chennai consulate now that my application has already been mailed to them (on April 3rd).

Thanks in advance.
 
netuser !

advantage is you get the Packet 4 at your local address within a week they send it you and I also read in this group that consulate will ask you to write the local address at item # 13.
It does not mean that if you give US address you will not get P4 , you will get it very late or you will get it after your interview over and some times you will not get it !!
So if you want to change it you can send an e-mail to chennaiiv@state.gov with your case # and local address.
 
The VM of NVC says

"your petetion is current, information sheet regarding adjustment of status has been sent to you"

-- What does that mean did they create packet3
