Gang!
My CP at Mumbai was a real cakewalk. This forum was really very helpful. If you guys need any specific info I would be glad to help you guys.
Also just make sure that you guys have your Indian Tax Clearance Certificate, do avoid the last minute hiccup. For me the officer was really creating trouble. Finally he did speak his mind and clearly asked me to pay him $200 USD. My flight was leaving in about 40 minutes (not boarding, taking off) and this officer was really being a pain in the A**. Finally I ended up paying him about Rs. 2500, in a newspaper.
In any case, I just hope that you guys don’t get into this situation and make sure that you have your tax clearance certificate ready.
Port of Entry was Houston, you need to get to window (lane) number 32 and submit your documents. Just the documents are sufficient and you don’t need the X-ray’s. Once the papers are submitted, you need to wait for about 15 minutes and they would call you take your right hands index finger print and ask you to sign. They would also stamp your passport with a temporary visa, that’s valid for a year.
I entered US yesterday (April 14th 2003), would keep you guys posted on any further updates.
You all guys have a super interview. Have fun.
