Successful CP at NWD on 11th July
Medical at Dr. K.P.Jain, South EXt.
--------------------------------
I completed my medicals for self, wife and kid from Dr jain's clinic on 5th July. We reached there at 9:45 am and told to wait for 45 minnutes. By that time counter Clerk prepared our papers and then Doctor called us and completed the physical exam and took the blood samples. We took MMR and TD vaccination at US itself and had chickenpox earlier so we were not given any vaccination. Doctor told us to get the xray done and come back at 5 PM to collect the report.
We were told to go to Def. Col "B" block for XRAY (TB) and they took 1 hour to complete the xray.
Clinic chg. are 1000 for adults and 600 for child
XRAY Its about 400/= (don't remember)
We also used Kumar Studio for Photo called us back at 6 Pm.
He charged 100/- Rs for each person and gives 4 photos.
We collected the report at 4:50 PM and Photos at 6 PM.
Interview
------------
We went at the US Embassay at 7:30 in the morning. We were called inside at around 7:45. We went through a very strict security check.We were even asked to drink water from our water bottles in front of them.Then we were asked to be seated in the immigration visa lounge. At around 8:30 one member from each family was asked to go and deposit the fee which was 65 US$. We paid by three bank drafts of Rs.3185 each. I also told the cashier that I had already paid 260 dollars per applicant in USA. This whole process took about half an hour. I again came back to the waiting lounge where we waited till 11:30 when my name was announced and we were asked to report at counter number 14. The lady at the counter asked for the receipts of the bank drafts first. Then she asked for the DS 230 part 2, birth certificate, marriage certificate, police certificate both US and local,employment letter and a copy of my income tax for the year 2001. We did not have the local pcc but she did not insist on it .Then I submitted the above documents and the I-134 for my wife and son also. She checked our passports and medical reports and asked us to wait in the lounge again. After about half an hour I was called again at counter number 12 this time. There was an American lady this time. She told us to raise our hands and take the oath. Then she started to ask me about my qualifications and experience. She grilled me for about 10 minutes. Better be prepared about this kind of grilling .Other people also experienced some kind of grilling that day. After that she told us to come back at 5:00 p.m. We were very tense for 3-4 hours not knowing what would happen. I went back to the embasssy at 4:45 p.m. I waited for 15 minutes before my name was called at counter number 14. I proceeded with heavy heart beats but the lady at the counter smiled and congratulated me and gave me the three packets with the visa on them and also our passports. The H1 and H4 on the passports were cancelled. There is no other entry made by the embassy on the passport. Our port of entry is Detroit in August hope that every thing goes well there too. I will update about that too.
You are welcome to ask any question.
