While checking visa application status at ceac.state.gov, it says the case is at NVC. However the case has already been completed. Does anyone know when it gets changed to consular office or something? We received a case complete letter a while ago, but still waiting for the PD to be current.

When you'll receive your IL and your case will be forwarded to the local embassy, only then status will change to "Transferred".

As per the information I have, while showing up for an interview, we are supposed to take a form i864 with us filled and signed by every sponsor separately. Could anyone please tell if it can be a photocopy of signed i864 or it has to be an original copy (original ink signed)?

I would suggest original , they may not ask or may ask so do not take eisk.

 

Also make sure you take atleast 3 copies for sponsor papers. In fact if you are family of 4 than I would suggest original + 4 copies. I am saying rhis beacause they will ask for copies of sponsorship papers for each applicant and inside consulate whan I went the xerox rate for one page was 68 Rs ie 1$. ( yes this is not typo 68 / page) . Plus they will ask for exact change they will Not accept 1 rs more or less , U have to give exact amount !!

 

So make sure u have enough / all the copies + more than enough change in ur wallet in case its require.

Where would they ask for original again? the embassy should have it already from uscis.

Thank you so much. Do you also suggest taking multiple copies of other documents such as civil documents and US Petitioner's status documents?

US Embassy / Consulate where you show up for the interview requires it again. The requirements may vary from country to country - for details please take a look at Review Embassy/Consulate Instructions section in the below link:

Yes ...keep at least one copy extra...it would not hurt.... You never know they may ask anything and Rs 69 / page is too expensive inside...

I believe they process IL emails on a night batch. Monday is the first working day after Thanksgiving Holiday weekend, so they may start sending out letters starting from Monday night in the US. Since cutoff date on last visa bulletin for India was Nov 22 and your PD is Nov 23, You should be one of the first individuals to get it. Hope you get in soon.

Nov 28*  not Nov 23 but a few days shouldn't be an issue. *Fingers Crossed*. I will post it here as soon as I receive it. Thanks for your help! Much Appreciated. 

 

P.S. : I called NVC today and they said they don't have the interview date as PD is not current, but that's the response that I've been getting for months. Just to check I called the Embassy in Mumbai and they also said that the case has not been transferred to them yet. 

 

Anyways, lets see what happens..Hoping for the best!
