folks,

my wife is scheduled to appear for IV interview in January'09 at Chennai Consulate in India.

I am the USC petitioner planning on accompanying her for the Interview. Do you guys know if I would be allowed into the consulate past the security to go along with her? I have heard that if you carry your US passport they let you in. But I've also heard that none other than the beneficiary(ies) are allowed inside.

Any experiences to share?

TIA.



my husbands interview was ths past july in chennai counsulate. i emailed them before buying my ticket and they reposnded saying yes i can come in just to bring my us passport. well let me tell u, they are so rude . i took the email print out and my us passport, they created a scene outside. and would not let me in, until i raised my voice then i think the guards caled some one inside to check out the situation and they let me in..

they are very rude!! i got in, but at that time i thought they would not let me in..

just got to be bold, that ur a US CITIZEN and are allowed into that area...

IT IS AGAINST PROTOCALL TO REFUSE ENTRY TO A USC AT ANY AMERTCAN FACILITY

Hi,

Someone suggested us that we should plan on taking our wedding album to the interview. I was thinking that having enough wedding pictures (including ceremony) would be enough than carrying the bulky wedding albums.

Has anyone carried wedding albums to interview? Are they really required or just the marriage photos will do?


the interview window hole is too small, the wedding album won´t fit there. Carry some of them by hand together with other documentation.

CARRY BOTH, SINGLE PHOTOS AND ALBUM. WE CARRIED ONLY PHOTOS AND WAS ASKED WHY DID NOT BRING THE ALBUM!!!

When my fiancee gets here, I have to teach him how to drive like an American. He's never driven over 40km an hour, here we can drive 120 easily. He's only driven a manual car and he's used to driving on the opposite side of the car. He doesn't drive a car often as that is actually the slow way to travel in India lol.

My car is an automatic, about three times the size of his car at home and I live in the jungle as he calls it. I have to get on the interstate or take some back roads I fear would be much scarier for him hahaha....maybe this really is the jungle. I've thought about taking him to a parking lot after closing, down some of the lesser traveled roads and such just till he gets used to the car and the different driving regulations. However I would really like to hear some tips from people who have moved to the states and had to learn all these strict driving rules. (I can't wait to hear him fussing about the questions about farm vehicles on our driving test lol, that is going to be interesting because here he has to know that stuff.) Were there any tips that someone told you that you found particularly helpful? How long did you study the driving manual before you went for the test? Any useful study tips?

I would also love to hear your stories about learning to drive here.

Thanks in advance!!

I was married to a natural blond with blue eyes for three decades. I am now married to a very beautiful,very Asain appearing lady by choice! The blond bombshell does not appeal to me in any way.

Ok Since I had my RFE and my documents have been received at NVC I have been about as patient as a long tailed cat in a room full of rocking chairs.

So i call AVR a lot and the message says that they have received my documents from check list and wait 6-8 weeks for their response. Ugh

So I decided last few days to check the online payment status because this at least makes me feel better. day after day showed paid and then wala today NVC website: "Sign In Failed" YAY the NVC no longer handles my case yay

So i tried calling operator and they said no I don't have any info on your case wait 2- 4 weeks for them to review HUH?

so I figure wait til after business hours call operator again hee hee I'm so tricky.

So the operator tonight was really cool unlike the earlier jerk!! She says um hmm ok let me look type type type. Ok Sir seems all your material is in order it is showing case is completed here and the next step is for us to issue an interview date blah blah blah. So I asked could you check again make sure all documents are received and in order because after a long process I don't believe easily. So she told me a little different information second time, like that it is all documents in order but it is in final review for completion but then like heed and hawed around the terminology about "IS IT COMPLETE OR NOT" then she would not give me a straight yes or no answer so I was wondering, I know I know I know it is near compltee if not officially, but has anyone experienced the silver awkwarded worded operators saying different things about case complete or in super secret final review status.

Anyway I will wait for the official notification but I am complete or almost complete or nearly complete or finally near almost complete!!!! yes.gif

OK OK OK WELL MAYBE???
