No.

The only time the I-864 is relevant in employment based cases is if a family member owns part of the sponsoring company.
 
Hi GCChaahiya,

I have Police Certificate only from Indian consulate in USA.

Is it Ok? or still need to get Police Certificate in local police station in India, as you metioned in items No 8 and 9.

&

How long have you stayed in the US?

I-134 is "Affidavit of Support" showing your bank balances and other property and investments in the US.

Folks,

I had successful interview on Aug 25th (medical on 22nd from BC) from Mumbai. POE on Sept 20th at Detroit.

jjnn, I only took PCC from Chicago consulate. I did not have any Indian police PCC and was not asked to provide one. Based on the discussion at the other folks at consulate, it is my understanding that family based CP need local PCC. If you are residing at US then Indian consulate PCC is enough.

Form 134 is Affidavit of Support which you will write for your wife and kids (if married).


The documents they asked me are -

Bank draft for Rs 1980 per applicant

Passport (original)

Medical Report from the panel physician ( in the small sealed envelope)

Form DS-230 Part I (original)

Form DS-230, Part II (original) (DO NOT SIGN IT UNLESS ASKED)

Photographs - 1 at consulate (At POE they will need 2 more)

Birth Certificate(original + 1 photocopy)

Police Certificate from the passport office (original)

Marriage Certificate (original + 2 photocopy)

Form I-134(original)

Let me know if any one needs any more information. I'll be happy to share that.

Hi averma and gcchaahiye:

Thank you for making such informative posts.

I had submitted DS-230 Part I document to the National Visa Center earlier as a part of Packet 3. So I guess it should be with the consular officer during the time of the interview, right? Thanks!

It will be there BUT you will need to take one with you as well. When you receive P4 from consulate they will send blank DS-230 Part I and II. Fill them again (you lawyer should get that ready for you). Sign Part I. Do not sign Part II. Take both of them with you, they will ask to provide both the forms.

Just FYI for anyone who cares: that seems to be the case at BOM (where they ask you for a DS-230 Pt I, even though your file contains one). At NWD, I had taken a newly filled form with me, but they only asked for Pt. II. As always, best to have more papers with you than less!
 
Thanks GCChaahiya and averma for very clear and detail information.
It will help us lot.
I am in US from last 6 years, in that case Indian consulate (SFO) PCC is enough according to averma.

My paper is in Mumbai consulate but no hope for interview date because of PD.

Thanks again.

Yes,you would need only the PCC from the Indian Consulate in the USA (in your case, SFO.)
 
Re: Official Documents List

Hi Guys,

I have a question. would appreciate if someone can guide me in the right direction. I filed for my spouse a family based GC three years back(Feb-2003). The case has been transfered to Bombay Consulate by NVC in last week of Sept. As such DS-230 part I and I-864 have already been submitted.

My question is, will I again need to get I-864 and other related documents like bank verification, 3 years Income Tax documents, employment letter etc. at the time of interview (which may be 6-8 mths from now) or should I just submit the same documents set I submitted at the time it was requested by NVC.

Bank account verification is ok, I am more concerned about how to do I-864 again???

Any suggestion/thoughs would be appreciated.

Thank you.

Fellow LPR.

No idea about I-864. But any document like, job letter, income statement, bank letter etc has to be current (no older than 12 month atleast per their rules, but it is strongly suggested that they are no older that 6 months).
 
hi again:

i read somewhere that one needs notarized copies of birth certificate, marriage certificate, police certificate, etc. with the original documents for the interview.

is it required or just having clear photocopies would work?

thanks!
 
I just took clear photo copy of all the documents you mentioned.

The Employment letter has to be notarized

This is for Mumbai cosulate.
 
Just a correction to my previous post

I took originals also along with clear photocopy

if you have all original H1 approvals ... take them ... if you do not have originals ( I did not had my latest original) , take clear photo copy

Thanks
 
thanks gca2405. i do not have the latest h1b's top portion of approval notice. it is with the employer's international visa representative.

so i guess based on your advice, i could just take a clear photocopy, right?
 
GCChaahiye adviced me to write a email to US consulate in India and ask them if photocopy is ok. I wrote that email and as expected they replied that photocopy is sufficient. I took printout of that mail along with me.

Also its written on top portion of the H1 approval that it needs to be with employer.

So write a mail to US consulate and also to your employer (seperate email) so that u will have in mail.
 
Those applicants who were at any time on J1 Visa for which the 2 year Home Residence Rule applies OR for any other type of visa for which there are any conditions attached and if you have obtained waivers for such conditions and have switched to another type of visa such as H1B,make sure to take the waiver approval which might be asked by the Consulate officer.
