I found out today that my case left the NVC on the 20th. I'm not sure how accurate that is but I'm currently tracking a package on dhl, hasn't arrived yet.

Ok I started to look at packet 4 to see what's going on with that. I'm now familiar with form DS-156 and DS156K (Did anyone else laugh when they saw how short this was? Not that I'm complaining!) I must say, the example form on this website for DS-156 helped me answer the questions that I was stuck on. Thank you VJ Gods.

Karri - Thanks. I will get ready the check list, the sworn statement at the bottom as well as DS 230 Part1 in the next few days. I am going to follow your foot steps in this process. You are a little ahead of me. Drag me along as you find anything. Are you planning on traveling to India? Take care. Thanks a lot.

Any confirmation of the links - Karri/ classic regarding the forms. Specifically DS 156?


The date at the top right of every form has an expiration date, use that as a guide if the form is still valid or not. The two places to get the most up to date forms are here:

USCIS

DOS

I personally don't like the DS 156 electronic form. But it states in the instructions that at the end of it it will convert the data into a pdf file with a barcode that contains the information you entered for faster processing, so I guess there is no way around that. And all forms are savable if you have the right software. whistling.gif ex. DS-230 part I.

I do have a Question. Are you checking ALL items. Specifically, what about
1. MARRIAGE CERTIFICATE: Applicant, my fiancee, has never been married before. I was, but it refers to the applicant. Should she still check that ?
2. TERMINATION of PREVIOUS MARRIAGE: Again refers to the applicant. She has never been married. I was and have a divorce decree (which she has and I had submitted on my K1 petition with the USCIS) ?
Should she check that as well. I have read that you should check everything or they make you. The checklist is just an acknowledgement that I am aware you ask for all these documents (which would apply to me needless to say) to be brought to the interview


Interesting question. Obviously every item on the checklist isn't applicable to every person so I would probably put N/A next to the check box. But go with your intuition.

Thanks Parul you are of great help here.

When I read the Delhi US embassy website, my understanding is that you will need to submit :
http://newdelhi.usem...acket309k1.html


1. DS 230Part1
2. Packet 3 check list.

Can I submit it now to the embassy, even before my approved petition reaches the US consulate. THe reason I asking this

My petition was approved on the 14th of Jan. I am traveling to India - had booked my tix last month to meet her end of this month. She and her family are going to be with me in the south from the end of Jan to middle of Feb. There is a high likely hood that her P3 is mailed to her Delhi address in the first week of Feb.
What are my options to avoid any delay in getting an interview since we are going to be in Delhi after the 15th?

I am getting back to the US in the week of the 23rd and would like to see if there is any (I know remote) possibility for her to travel with me or at least as soon as possible and avoid further delays.


You should not send it in until you confirm the embassy has your case. There are three things you need.
1. DS 230 Part 1
2. Packet 3 check list
3. Sworn statement from sponsor (at bottom of checklist) - you need the NVC case # for this before you can consider sending it in.

Dilbert - sorry for the confusion. All I was referring to was that you can call DOS and get the information that you can get from the Consulate (except that it may be next to impossible to get anything from the consulate). For instance, they can tell you if packet 3 has been mailed to you, whether it has been received if you have mailed it back, etc. etc.

Parul/Karri/Dilbert/CJVasani/Siyaram/others - I was looking at DS 156 and had the following questions. Hoping you guys can shed some light..

Here goes
Q14. National Identification Number --- My fiancee has an Election Commission of India ID Card and also, something called the PAN card (Permanent Account Number). What did you put there ?

Q22. When Do You Intend to Arrive in the US ?
I am assuming you don't know as it depends on the outcome of the interview. So, leave it BLANK ?

Q28. Who Will Pay for your Trip ?
I plan to go down and bring her here and pay for both of us. Should she say Herself or Myself and Fiance. If my fiancee says, she will pay... will they ask for proof ? Again,she will not have bought the ticket at this point.

Q32 Do you intend to work in the US ? Do you say Yes or No ? Example form on VJ says Yes and with work authorization, employer unknown.
I am trying to tie this question to #22 on DS 230, which says to list your employment history and then at the bottom asks In what occupation do you intend to work in the US ( I put N/A there).

Last but not the least,
Q34. Names and Relationships of Persons Traveling with you ? Example form says NONE. But I plan to go down after her interview to bring her back here. Should she then say, my name/fiance, right ?

Sorry, for the long list of questions. Appreciate any help/input you can provide.
Thanks


Sorry I haven't gotten to that form yet, Currently working on packet 3 requirements and trying to figure out what I need to bring over his family for the wedding, I'm buried alive in paperwork!

Asia: SouthPacket 3/4 question
Karri - I called DOS again today as I was not able to hear them properly this morning. They say now that the interview has not been scheduled. I'm paraphrasing. They also said it is still administrative processing. Don't know what that means - like is it a generic term or whether it means it is in some specific term. I have heard that it could mean specificity. From what I saw yesterday, in the DHL website, it has just reached there. So, nothing much would have been done in the case any way...However, when I asked them whether the embassy has received the packet, they said yes sir.

I am thinking you can also ask them this specific question and yours would have reached the embassy. Tomorrow, the embassy doesnt work in India - Saturday. You are better off calling DOS now and checking with them.

I am planning on requesting my fiancee to send her paper work tomorrow.

Good luck, don't worry your packet must have reached.

He will be sending it via DHL so we can track it and he's going to send it overnight because the faster we can find out about our interview date the faster I can book tickets to come there for it. He'll be mailing it out first thing tomorrow morning and hopefully we can call mid next week for an interview date.

Guys, Gals - I am not sure if I need to start a separate thread. At kleast I will start from here and then post it in the main forums.

My fiancee grew up in Delhi for the most part and for the last 3-4 years has been in Bombay for work. She has gotten after much difficulty (6 weeks) PCC from Delhi as well as from Bombay.

Now she is in a precarious situation with regard to collecting PCC from the passport office. When her parents went to the Delhi passport office, they told them that my fiancee needs to collect the passport office PCC from Bby as that is her place of residence currently.

Last week, she went to the Bby PPO (passport office) and they requested her to get several docs - employment letter, lease, affidavit of apartment lease from owner, utility bill etc etc...

She took that yesterday and they collected the passport after much haggling and told her that she will get the passport by mail and that she needs to get "outward number" from the local police station as well as from the district police station in Bombay.

Now, she has to again go thro' the same circus that she went thro' to collect local PCCs.

1. Has any one gone thro' this and is there a better way to get it sooner - like within a week.

2. Do you know of any travel agents or any one who might have connections be able to help and expedite and get this within a week.
She has made travel plans to meet me and all that has to be canceled if she doesn't get her passport as she wants to wait in Bombay to collect the passport.

3. Since her passport was issued out of Delhi, the Bby PPO guys told her that they will mail her passport and she cannot come and collect it. Where will they mail t- to her Delhi address or Bby address?
It has been a nightmare for her so far. Has anyone received their PPO back by mail. Is it safe? She has submitted it in the Bby PPO.

Please help. I need some guidance. We are quite close and don't want to get stuck in a rut now. Thanks.

3) As for receipt at the consulate, don't think you can get much out of the embassy. You would have to get in touch with them first and we all know how easy it is to get them to respond to emails or get them on the phone. blink.gif You can however, call DOS @202-663-1225 and they can tell you if the consulate has received your file and if pkt 3/your interview is scheduled. You need to give it some time before they can look up the info. DOS has access to the consulate databases. So, once the info is entered by the consulates, DOS can view it and share with you.

Hope that helps.

Classic-

You write "...consulate has received your file and if pkt 3/your interview is scheduled" I almost read it as you don't have to do anything except get Packet 3 in mail or directly an interview date.

However, after reading Parul's thread, it appears to me that :

a) Go to consulate submit DS 230 Part 1 as soon as packet has reached consulate (or) wait till you get Packet 3 and then go to Consulate and submit DS 230 Part1
cool.gif Go a week later and collect Packet 4/ Interview date (or) immediately if Packet 3 is there on hand.

Yes, psp312 is right. i submitted just local DSP PCC copy and said passport PCC will be brought at interview. NVC approved and completed the case without any problem. SO send in your D 230 with your documents and DSP PCC copy now. Don't worry about passport PCC to NVC now. But remember to keep original DSP PCC with you as Ahmedabad passport office will require to see it before they will issue their PCC. SO send in Certified true copy of DSP PCC instead of original, that's what I did and NVC competed the case. Waiting for interview date now.



I have an issue with the PCC requirement as my wife is currently out of India visiting her parents. Her locality is South India and I was wondering if it is possible for us to get the PCC from the Passport Office, use that to fulfill the NVC PCC requirement and state in the cover letter to the NVC that we will submit the regional PCC during the interview. Or is it not possible to obtain a PCC from the Passport Office without a regional PCC?

Thanks!

Hi Harsh,
Ours left in a couple of days, but when I called I wasn't told I was under AP. I've seen a few people on VJ that were out of AP quickly, and some that were stuck for a few weeks so I would just keep calling them every few days to check.

On another note...my fiance mailed packet 3 today via courier so hopefully they will have it tomorrow...but, when he went to the Passport office to get his PCC they said that there was damage to his passport so he needs to get a new one! Anybody have any idea how long that will take. Now that packet 3 is on it's way I'm hoping to have an interview mid-March so now I'm a bit worried about him having his new passport in time!

Oh, and Harsh, your case number from NVC will start with NWD not BMB...Classicrock is going through Bombay so his is BMB.

We are going to send it to the address that Parul had posted on here, I think Dilbert also posted it:

U.S. Consulate General,
Immigrant Visa Section
Shantipath, Chanakyapuri
Chanakyapuri, New Delhi, Delhi (state) 110021, India

He will be sending it via DHL so we can track it and he's going to send it overnight because the faster we can find out about our interview date the faster I can book tickets to come there for it. He'll be mailing it out first thing tomorrow morning and hopefully we can call mid next week for an interview date.

Thank you to all of you for all your information. It's nice to have people that are going through this same process that can guide eachother!
