I thank GOD; My Employer; My Parents; My attorney; and My Freinds for all the Encouragement; Help; and the Prayers.
Interview Date: Jan. 25th.
Recived GC: Jan. 31st.
POE: JFK, Feb. 9th.
I have a succesful CP Interview at Chennai. My experience is very similar to most everybody except Medical Report. I have to go back to the consulate because of the Missing Spouse\'s Medical Report. My wife had TB 11 tys. back and got treated. After treatment, a small scare was left on the lung. X-ray showed that scare. Any experienced Doctor can tell that that is not a problem. But according to the Chennai Consular procedure, we have to under go additional testing. That could take 4 additional working days. I went to Dr. Vijaya Lakshmi. She could not help to waive the additional testing although she knew that the scare is very old because Lister noted on their report. Any way, I went back to the consulate on 1/29. And received the GC package on 1/31.
Whole trip was very hectic and extremealy busy. I went for just 3 wks.
Lessons Learned:
1. If you or your dependents have a history of TB, Go to medicals atleast 4 woking days in advance. Even if you have evidence of treatment or certificate of no TB active, it just does not work. Have to just undergo Sputum tests only at Lister for 3 consecutive days. No exceptions.
2. Blue Dart will not deliver overnite unless you are from Chennai; Hyd. or Bangalore. Most other places takes two days.
I will post my detailed experience later. Thank You for all for your help and the prayers in the difficult times.
