Asia: SouthPacket 3/4 question
Yes it is normal to take that long. In the meantime you can all the embassy to see if they've received your case. If they have, you can submit packet 3 before you receive it in the mail.

Guys, Sam is heading to the airport right now. He'll be on that plane in in about 7 hours. blink.gif

lol. My prize will arrive in 9 days and I'm going to spoil him rotten. =D Do you have any idea how hard it is to plan an American wedding in less than a month? I managed to crank out most of the details in the last 36 hours and I'm so exhausted. Even found a girl to do my henna. =D Should I surprise Sam with our honeymoon location or shall I let him in on the secret? Haven't decided yet lol. Where abouts do you live Classicrock? How is the climate there? I'm trying to prepare Sam with the forecast for the 19th, he's going to be bringing his jacket. =D

I can imagine. You must have been busy with the 221g and all thrown down your way as well. Definitely spoil him and yourself, too. After all we have gone through with this visa stuff, I think we all deserve it. Don't you think I would keep the honey moon location a secret. Keep him guessing. It will add to the fun I think.
Carolina is always on my mind not just James Taylor's. Get it. I live in NC. It does get cold here but we have had some awesome weather. My fiancee is still cold (she is from Kolkata and when I was there it was in the upper 80s) but she is enjoying the weather. It's been sunny and been in the mid to upper 60s in the last couple of days. What about you ? You .. somewhere on the west coast ?
Good luck with the wedding prep. Not trying to make light of all the work you need to do, after all the K1 stuff, it should be a somewhat of a breeze.


Oh ok, I've been to NC once for work last year. It's a very pretty state! I myself live in Ohio and the winters here are brutal. Sam's never experienced -0C before ::evil grin:: It's been hovering around 5C this week. I grew up on the west coast through. Well the surprise honeymoon idea is out. I was thinking dinseyworld but it would be too much work to do in such a short time. People book those kinds of trips years in advance. Now I'm looking for something more relaxing and not as expensive, either within driving distance from Cleveland or a quick plane ride to California so I can show him where I grew up. If I do decide to go to California, ELW, let's arrange a get together!

lol Yup, the Continental is my fav flight too. Poor Sam has to be sandwhiched between two people for 15 hours lol. Thank you for clarifying the weight limit on luggage. I told him it was per piece, not in total per passenger and he didn't believe me lol. Isn't there a charge to have a 2nd checked bag? Let us know, I need to make sure he has enough cash with him for that.

The results are in fresh outside the embassy........Moksha got approved congrats!, Karri and Sam......221g crying.gif They wanted relationship evidence. Stuff we already submitted, that guy was a jerk! Wouldn't even let us show him our engagement album! Sam will get back to Chandigarh tomorrow and will post the complete list. I think they asked for 7 things including a voter's thingie for 5 years. A notarized statement stating I can speak Sam's language. jerks! No hablo Hindi. =(

Anyways this can go one of two ways. A) we submit what they want and they approve us in a few days or weeks B ) they sit on it until our NOA2 expires on May 9th and deny us at which point what are my options? Move there and get married and file for a different visa?

taken from the packet 4 link at the beginning of this thread.

"Visa fees are not refundable; they must be paid through a rupee bank draft drawn on a nationalized or foreign bank. The bank drafts must be issued in the name of “The American Embassy, New Delhi”, and should be payable in Delhi. Traveler's check or cash in US $ is acceptable. As the rate of exchange can change, we recommend that applicants check the current consular rate of exchange at our website www.newdelhi.usembassy.gov or contact the Embassy ahead of their interview to obtain the current consular rate of exchange.

What POEs are relatively less hassle ? Newark, JFK, Chicago, Atlanta?

Should my fiancee stand in the visitors line or the citizens/ PR line for immigration?

spoke with the embassy representative this morning and he confirmed the packet 3 was dispatched on 19 oct 2009 which i haven't received yet. i have requested the Embassy to send me the packet through e-mail. can you please tell me do i only need to send back the filled up forms back along with packet 3 or i have to send some documents also like i-134? thank you in advance smile.gif

You have to send DS-230 part 1, checklist and Applicant Statement. It takes few days for them to deliver the package so hang in there:-)

Hi guys!!

This thread is full of valueable information and thank you for all contributers. I really really appreciate it.
My Noa2 got approved yesterday and I am waiting for the hardcopy of it. In the mean time i saw this thread and have got couple of questions for you guys.

First, do i have to send aything to NVC or do USCIS forwards my file ( noa2) to NVC ?

Second, on question 3 it asks about "Name of spouse and children accompaning or following to join person." In my case it is just my finacee, so do i put just my finace's name?? or put none?

Third, I was looking at package 3 and on Question # 7 it asks for Type of business and Name of concern. What do i put?? I am confused. In business i assume i will put my employer's name and what is that name of concern??

Last question, on Question 11 it asks me about my intend. I wrote i will support my fiancee with anything and everything that he needs until he can legally work in the US. Is this good enough?

Thanks in advance. I am freaking out here. crying.gif crying.gif
