Successful CP + Medicals, Mumbai 6/22-7/8 with name check

amdomd,

Thanks. It's not quite sunk in about the new life yet. But I'm sure the perspective is getting to get different now. I'll be eagerly waiting for my cards and w.l.
 
Hi Alren,

You narration on the emigration @ Mumbai is very interesting -- never seen anyone mention PCC being asked for at port of exit in India by any other CPer. Obviously, hassling you to get some “chai-pani” was the objective. If the passport says “emigration clearance not required” then the PCC question seems moot but if they can hassle someone they will!

Bottom line, your advice to keep PCC and some other immigration docs in your hand-baggage is a good one for future CPers returning back.

Cheers,

Rjain

Precisely,

if then can hassle someone the will!

My motto - Don't fight with the establishment at the wrong time :rolleyes:
 
Belated Congrats

Alren,

Belated Congratulations man. I am glad that you made it after some hiccups. As KD used to mention LIVE LIFE KING SIZE.

All the best.

Alren,

congrats! I am far away from the POE stage but have a quick question:

1). Does one have to fill out the 'white' form which has the I94 at the bottom that one retains after immigration check is completed? or is there a different form for people with Green card??

2). Do you stand in the Non-immigrant line or the other line for permanent residents?

Thanks.

sanjay, jalabalajings

Thanks.

sanjay, No you do not need to fill in I-94. But it will do no harm one filled up (as one of our members experienced because of some issue with medicals - if my memory serves me right). You'll have to tell the airline people that you have a (non immigrant) visa, otherwise they won't give you.

There's no form for people with GC or first time PRs

At Detroit, the made me stand in the visitors line and then directed to "Special Processing" counter.

Citizens and PRs have a different line.
 
alren,
Belated Congratulations for your POE. "Adventure hi Adventure" so surprising after seeing the Immigrant visa the immigration officer asking for PCC. Please excuse me I can't stop laughing.

You are right. Do not fight with establishments.

Thanks
