Tracker ..........Likely June Appointments for chennai consulate.

Fees info for CP

Guys,

No one answered green_my_green\'s second question when he opened this discussion:

"
2. Since we had already paid the $260/- per applicant, I believe we have to still pay $60/- or aprox Rs 3285/- per applicant for visa issuance are there any more fees? "

Can some one share any info on what fees and drafts are we expected to take for the CP interview ?

Thanks!
 
Mailed P3 on March 19th, Appointment likely in June/July

I didn\'t had to go with NVC, I guess mine is a older procedure(MDR200181.. Case Number). my attorney mailed P3 to chennai on March 12. I checked with Chennai Consulate, They said Appointment likely in June/July. I hope it will be in June.

Has anyone contacted the Consulate the last couple of days
regarding the probability of a June interview date?

(Mainly to confirm the flight tickets;
how long will travel agents keep our ticket reservations "open"
without our confirmations? they keep asking for our confirmations
otherwise say they\'ll cancel the reservations)

Thanks!

My P3 reached chennai end of Mar/beg of Apr. Emailed Chennai and got a reply that my interview will be in June

MS
 
one week before the interview

u need to get the medicals done atleast 2 days before the interview and if there is any additional tests are needed then u need the "buffer days".

We are also waiting for the June interview schedules. I am flying in May first week and my hubby is flying once we know the dates for certain.
 
Disappointed

Enquired with Chennai Consulate about possible interview
date. Reply:

"Please check after May15"

I was hoping for "Expect interview in June", since others
have posted in this thread that they received such replies.
(And their dates are somewhat close to mine - my case
was forwarded to Chennai at the end of March).

Does this mean that the Interview could only be after June?
 
No Title

No need to worry, if they recieved before on or before April 15th, you can be sure of June date.
It is that bcos release dates are released by May 15hth, that they said to call you back.
They are aren\'t concerned about our anxiety..., thats a standard .... reply you get sometimes.
I my first reply they only confirmed that they recieved my case, in the 2nd reply the very next day they said likely june appointment.

After the Interview

Hi! I was wondering if anyone knew about the process after the interview process is done. I am aware that you get an envelope from the consulate in India that is to be opened by the immigration officer at the POE in the US. But, what happens to the visa on your passport - does the Consulate give us a new visa or are we expected to validate our H1 Visas (assuming it isnt upto date?) to re-enter the US?
 
green_my_green!

Goodluck guys..
