Everything was a breeze. The officer took less than 2 mins to go through my docs. The lady at the cash counter kept me waiting for about 5 mins (she was not there)
FYI, the new list for Chennai:
The security guys show a printed list of docs that we have to arrange. The additional docs that they are insisting nowadays are:
1. Most recent pay-stub
2. Year 2000 tax returns - I submitted the tax transcripts issued by IRS. If you are submitting photocopy of your returns make sure that you take the W2s with you. Someone was kept waiting for a while for that. (He too got it)
3. Bank Statements
4. PCC - the list carried by the security guy had PCC mentioned on it. I didn\'t have mine. I had no problems. I dodn\'t know whether thay are going to insist it in the future.
I did not have my current employer\'s H-1 visa stamped on the passport. So he asked for the original H-1 approval. No problems with that either.
As a note: I think all the employment based cases for today at Chennai got their GC. I don\'t think anybody was detained for further interview. I was one of the last guys to be called in.
Good Luck to everyone, and happy holidays,
