He is a good guy. This is a cultural issue. So what if he wants to help his family out if he gets extra money? This seems to offend you alot. What is funny is that you are quite suprised by this. Were you born in USA? OP get over it or please leave him alone in India where he will at least be happy with his business and his parents. That will be a great solution for everyone. You need to find someone who will pay your school fees and also be willing to adopt children and live your dreams. good luck.

If you use Frankfurt as your stop (and despite the fact that nationals of India need visas to enter Germany) , you won't need a transit visa, since you have a visa for the US.

Once they have released the list, then that is final ( as far as I know ).

and if USCIS refuses their application ? they lose all the money.

new delhi US embassy doesn't send packet 3 i guess. i never recieved my packet 3 had to download the forms, fill them , print and then scan them to pdf and email them to infousdelhi@vfshelpline.com.
to track your case you would have to call department of state(DOS) at +1202-663-1225. press 1 and 0 to talk to an operator or a visa specialist, provide them you case no. and they can tell u if your papers have reached the embassy. if your papers have arrived at the embassy then just email them form DS 230part1 and applicant's statement, because only after they recieve these documents, the embassy will schedule an appointment for you. dont wait for the packet to arrive once the DOS confirms that your papers are at the embassy.

As per my knowledge , there has to be stamp in the passport along with the PCC letter..
submiting the documents at VFS they never asked for Stamped Page ( but we submitted all pages ) so only letter was sufficient.
Give it a shot and ask the passport office , if they missed putting this one ..

Your application is in the cubicle on the fourth floor, third window from the left. But the guy is on his lunch break and needs to leave early. And he is off tomorrow. And the application in front of you has 2,000 pages of skype logs.

You know, re-reading your original post it's rather strange that his 129f is valid through Aug 2012. I thought they were only valid for 120 days after the NOA2 date [or 4 months - can't remember which] - August 1st is 105 days from now...how on earth did they fly thru NVC and scheduling the interveiw????
