Hi all...
I am new to this thread. I am one of those antrax affected petitioners. My friends have all got Feb Interview and I did not get one. I am hoping to get one in March.
I would like to share a few of my experiences in collecting PCC and other stuff. Ii think most of the stuff might be something that all of us are familiar with, but just in case - something might be useful and please feel free to correct me if I am wrong and I would re edit it.
I think we should build a small data base or just provide links to keep track of the P4 that we would receive and our interview dates and where we should get medicals cleared.
So far:
I got my PCC from San Francisco consulate today. It is a relatively straight forward procedure. For those of you who have not sent it, please do so. I am not alarming you. Dont send the passport initially. The rates have changed to $20 - so check it out.Send passport only after 30 days. I think we will still have time for some of us whose interview would be around March 15th or so. I sent my passport via mail and yes I was nervous - but got the courier back today.
For vaccinations - this is the info I have. May be some one can correct me. MMR, tetanus alone. I have gone to a local health clinic and got Hepatitis B. It is not very expensive if you go to a county clinic. 50 bucks a shot. CAN SOME one throw more light on which doc we need to fix appointment in madras. I heard/read Dr. Vijayalaskhmi is good and we need to get a blood titre test at Listers. I am not from Madras, so can someone put more fundas on this one.
I was also thinking of getting MMR and tet shots here itself (35 +15 = 50 bucks). I do not know if this would save me some hassle in Madras.
For tax documents - take 3 years of tax documents . You can also get a tax transcript from IRS. tHE PHONE # is 1800 829 1040.
Lets keep this list growing. All the best to all of us. My packet 3 was sent on Dec 6th. But my packet from NVC was sent on Oct 15th. Still in some mail room facility in Virginia or Washington. I hope they just give me a March interview like my other friends in the Feb theread who got their Feb interview.
