IndiaVery Important ---- Is your Interview schedule and not recieved Interview letter
Hi all,
Is anyone case completed between June 25, 2011 to July 10, 2011 and did not receive Interview letter in Chennai.

I called NVC and they told my date of Interview and said they have emailed me on July 15, 2011 but still I have not received email. I am from Chennai Consulate.

If anyone from Chennai whose case was completed and know the Interview schedule and received email or not do reply and let me know.

If anyone has not received email do anyone have idea of how to do medical test and attended the Interview without the letter.

Hoping for a faster answer and thanks in advance. Do reply if you have any ideas or suggestions.

National Visa Center (Dept of State)NVC Case Completed . Its has been 6 weeks..
I am not sure of the exact time frame. It depends upon each embassy. May be there is a lot of queue in your place which is why there is a delay in setting up your Interview. You can contact NVC and I guess they can give a clear picture when you will get your Interview date
mohammedshoebMaleIndia2011-07-08 13:15:00
National Visa Center (Dept of State)Sign in failed (SIF), now what
Congrats Tony

Sign in failed then your case is completed in NVC. Next is NVC will schedule for your Interview in our embassy. You need to wait until the Interview date is scheduled.

National Visa Center (Dept of State)Where do they send Packet 3 and 4 (Chennai)
Hi,
Congrats for your case completed from the NVC. Now your waiting time starts to wait until NVC schedules your Interview and they send the Interview letter to you and your wife via email. You will receive the email where you can see your appointment date and time. However the time is default same for all Chennai Consulate, its 1PM. You need to wait for the Interview letter via email. Once you receive that letter you can contact Apollo Hospital and fix your appointment for your medical test. You can see the address and the phone number in the below link.
http://www.visajourn...dia&cty=Chennai


Regarding the packet that is no tension for you. Since the packet will be send to Chennai Consulate directly via DHL. We will not receive any packet. Once we receive the email we are done. We need to take only the appointment letter and other required document for the Interview.

Good luck for your Interview date. You will receive soon. Do update once you receive the appointment letter.
mohammedshoebMaleIndia2011-07-17 20:37:00
National Visa Center (Dept of State)DS-230 Packet Mailed
Hi,
The document you have send is fair enough there is nothing required much.

1)From the date NVC receives the document they take a maximum of 20 days. So only after 2 weeks minimum you will get chances of knowing any update is there. You can try to call them after 2 weeks so that you may know if any updates has happens. If not maximum is 20 days. Once when you call NVC and its says case completed then you are done with NVC and just wait for schedule of Interview.


2) It depends upon each case completion date, but there is a minimum period of more than 4 weeks. Since Interview is schedule every month of 2nd week only. So as per your case maximum by August 10 or August 12 the case will be completed if they feel all the documents are correct. There is no special advantages being a citizen. Since it purely depends upon case completed and they put it in queue and we need to wait until it is schedule.

3) I am really sorry the chances for August is not possible, I guess by this week the schedule for August will be done, hence once schedule they don't reschedule it, so you may get chances for September if there is less queue. Since Mumbai and New Delhi has a huge queue.
Please check this link. In this it says it takes more than 4 weeks for schedule of Interview.

http://www.visajourn...India&cty=Delhi

4) You need to send your tax papers, your job offer letter and other things will be mentions what she needs to bring when she receives email for schedule of Interview

5) NVC will email you and your wife once the Interview date is schedule. In that letter you can see what all she needs to bring for Interview. Once she receive Interview letter she can fix an appointment with medical document and do the medical formalities and take to the Interview.

Thanks.
Hope my answers were helpful for you

National Visa Center (Dept of State)Few questions about interview
Hi,
When you applied for police clearance certificate in Chennai you could have got 2 PCC certificate along with your passport. One you could have send to NVC and you need to take the another for interview however they will just and give it back. Since one PCC will be with them. Hence you need to have that original one.
VFS is a place where you need to collect your passport once the visa is approved or else they will post it to you at your place. You can contact them and if it is ready you need not wait for probably three or four days until it comes you can collect the passport the next day. Once you get the letter tell your wife to contact the VFS and they explain what to do. The number for VFS is : 00914428574242 or 00911206611411 and they will help you. No packets is send to you. All you will get is only the Interview letter

Hey
As far as Chennai Medical. The Appollo hospital charges is total of Rs 5000 only not more than that. And you can make appointment before 7 days and its just a two days process. The first day for medical you can go around 11AM they will take all xray, blood test and then a medical doctor will check you and then will tell you put some injections which takes time approx of 3 to 4 hours there. And they will say you can leave for the day and next day you need to go again in the evening @ 4PM and they will give you a sealed report and you need to take that for your interview. Thats it for medical.

IR-1 / CR-1 Spouse Visa Process & Procedures221g Blue slip in Chennai for CR1 visa
Interview was pretty easy and simple one.
The Indian lady first asked me who is the petitioner, How did i first meet, when was the married, where do I work, where was the marriage conducted, did she come after marriage and then asked for pics and medical report and then said that's it. Then she said wait while we call for fingerprint and final Interview. Then I was called for fingerprints in few minutes and later after sometime final interview.

The CO was very good and she asked me very less question. The question she asked was : how did i first meet, when was the marriage, where was the marriage conducted, when did she get citizenship, where do i live, where does my parents live, where does her parents live, did she come after marriage Then asked my qualifications and said you will get a good job soon. Then said finally your case is clear and I approve your visa but as per the process we need to do AP. She said i will have the passport if you have any plan of travelling abroad or anywhere you can take now. Or else at any point you need the passport you can email and we will send it or else you can wait for your passport with visa. Atlast give me a blue color 221g form.

Not to worry. All the best I hope your wife does not fall into AP. Please keep as much extra proof and document which proves your relationship. They are moody and can ask anything. If you don't have then they put that also into AP. However they did not even ask a single paper from me other than pics. Hope its goes smooth for your wife.

But be ready for anything since this can happen to anyone anytime. Its in the CO hands.

There is no red flags in my case. The CO said clearly I could see no problem in your case and marriage and hence i approve it but as per the procedure we need to go for AP.
My marriage is an Arranged one and there is no much age difference. She is 4 years younger than me. We both belong to same caste. The CO said directly your case is clear and there is no problem but we need to have an AP done

Do you have the police clearance certificate and a seal in your passport. If so you need to submit the police clearance certificate and a copy of the seal in your passport. No need to submit passport. Just a copy of that is enough. But i guess Mumbai people no need to submit PCC now they can directly bring that during Interview.
