i too have a doubt regds birth cert..we usually use our 10th standard (high school ?) marks list as proof of DOB..

but since we also need birth cert at the consulate, and this DOB is in native language, lucky that my wife got it translated into english long back

now, my problem is she doesnt have that original DOB written in tha native language, does she need this too at the intrv time? or just the translated cert is fine ?

TIA

thank you ELW...

trying to gather what are the working days of VFS, mainly Chennai.

tried reaching VFS, but whole south india has one cust serv contact no, and its completely engaged

my doubt is how many days shall VFS take to deliver the passport to our beneficiary...say if its in major city..

TIA

congrats

It has been 107 days for I-130 and 97 for my k-3.........nothing from CSC. should i be worried????? Most of the Indian filers get their approvals within 100 days...i wonder whats different with my case? the last genuine touch i received was end of april. should i contact an attorney....

nope, my case took a lot of time for the approval

i would try reaching them via the RFE line, when u call them, there is option for did u recieve any RFE from us, press that option and stay on for the real customer serv guyz, let them know ur case no...may be ur in a for a approval..cos, my online status still shows my case under progress, while i got a intrv date assigned by Chennai

MrsAyilliath, first things first CONGRATS

and thanks for such a long post

in plain simple english...ur post bout the intrv is very very very helpful

thanks illidan, for the updates regds the intrv...

congrats

a good news to all the VJers going thru Mumbai..i think vikasp is waiting for this info

congrats

sandip i do always write the case number though not in the subject line i write it in the letter text

i think i will try it now again

thanks so much

yea, i always wrote my case # in the subject line...and also double check with sandip if u r using the correct email id, just in case

for calling no one just picks there phone

doc_cute, my wife couldnt get someone to talk to, it took her 6 tryings..on the final try she was luck to get hold of someone..ideal time would be 8-9am in the morns

congrats agnar

Yeah, Mumbai is much slower due to the larger volume there. We're hoping for an late August/early September interview there. I'm going to India on either the first or second Friday of August to be with my wife for her interview and related proceedings. I can't wait!

Congratulations and good luck Citizen.. :dance:

My case got to Delhi embassy almost a month ago and still no interview date. :crying:

Sandip

delhi embassy s***** i m fed up 2 weeks they received my packet n yet no interview date n no packet mailed to me

its rubbish i feel

I feel for you. This sucks :crying:

did u all try to email them or call them

I am sort of new on this...need some advices. My check cleared and waiting for NOA1. My question is about interview. Do I have to accompany my fiancee during the interview process in Bangkok, THLD.? Is that a requirement or it is something that might benefit the outcome? I live in California, USA.

Your advices are greatly appreciated,

Chai...

chai, i dont think its a req, i didnt see it in any guides..and i was under impression that petioner isnt allowed inside the consulate..but recently a VJer MrsAyilliath accompanied her fiancee to the interview

Are you counting the days like me, citizen? I don't have an int date yet and I'm already counting the days

yep vikas, have been counting from aug 9th 06..the day we were married

Does mumbai assign intrv days for next month by 10th of the previous month?? Chennai does that

http://chennai.usconsulate.gov/appointments.html

i think Mumbai doesnt follow that rule, they assign any intrv n let u know 5-6 weeks ahead

http://mumbai.usconsulate.gov/appointment_information.html

so in my case, imagining that my case reached them after 10th of this june, i couldnt have a chance of jul, but only august

CONGRATULATIONS!!!!!

thank u genesis

Thank you all

one step, slowly at a time

My wife called Chennai Consulate to the Cust Serv No on their website, a very friendly lady told her that her visa interview date is Jul 20th

congrats

wish u both best of lucks

let us know how it went

congrats vikas

Update: Case Processing has resumed after they received my RFE.

cm, in recent days, chinadavid n me got RFEs, we got approved within 2 weeks after we saw the case update"Case Processing has resumed after they received my RFE"

good luck

i did fly from chicago to delhi continental airlines last yr, nonstop, 16 hrs

my legs ached for days

from then, went to india trice only thru lufthansa..hyd-frnfkt-houston

lufthansa definetly should gave flight from frnfkt to jfk..try them, they would give 2-3 hrs of change over at frnfkt

as so many immigrants from india and despite that so less postings here

think some seniors guiding other new comers in the original K3 section, and some ppl filling out the paper work, like me , i took a complete 4 days to fill out all my forms

some may be waiting out for pkt4

some may be eating off their nails or drinking away bottles of beer(which i am gonna do) when thier intr is scheduled
