@Ishxo Please add me. interview is on 3/29

Called NVC today and got the  good news: Interview scheduled March 29.  Mumbai consulate. CC 2/2. 

Can I schedule Biometric for Feb 25 or do I need to wait for NVC Interview letter ?

After P4 received by email, did you receive any documents from NVC or local embassy?

 Pls  call the center as their list is different. Here is what I got from Chennai where I plan for medical:

1. Original passport.
2. 2 copies of Passport bio and back page.
3. Interview letter print out + 1 copy.
4. 7 US pp photos (2×2) STICKER type. With  backside sticker.

They insist website is only a general guidance.

Thats a good point you have made. If we get our interview date after April 15th we may want to take the 2018 tax returns documentation. 

Guys, The point is I DO have a W2 for 2016 and even sent it to NVC. 

Spoke to NVC last evening and was told their online review system automatically flags an alert if the "Total W2 income" in AoS is less than minimum, which is the case for my 2016 W2.

They did advise that my spouse can show my 2017 W2 and also keep an updated AoS ready. I can also use proof of assets (bank statements, emp.letter etc)  to supplement 2016 income. But the Indian income in 2016 will not be considered.

So regardless of when the interview is, I will keep the new AoS and W2 of 2017 and even file 2017 return.

For those waiting for interview at Mumbai consulate, look at the trend in the picture below. It looks like the interviews are scheduled on first and last day of the month.

 

Going by this, there should be something scheduled Feb 1/2. Either no interviews have been scheduled in feb so far OR folks havent updated their data.

Thanks folks. I got a "checklist" letter saying there is a missing doc in AOS review but they are scheduling the  interview anyway. They need me to send W2's for 2016 directly to the applicant. 

The problem is I worked in US for 3 months in 2016 and my W2 income is less than mimimum. Was working in India that year.

Can I have my spouse submit my W2 for 2017 and an updated AoS reflecting 2017 total income ?  I dont have any more W2's for 2016.

Folks, 

my cc  date was 2/2. Got cc email 2/5. Waiting for interview.

Anyone with same timeframe for mumbai consulate ?  Looks like March end/April.

Folks, have a quick question. My firstdocument package was scanned on 12/27 (SD1).  As my wife does not have her Birth cert,  I sent in her School transfer certificate  (translated).

A few days  later, I sent in the School Leaving Cert (Class 10)  which is accepted as secondary evidence .This  was scanned 1/2  (SD2). 

1. Will this cause any delays ? I called this afternoon and the gentleman said check back in a week or two (not the usual 11 week one !).  Does this mean I am close to a cc ?

2. I checked in ceac just now and see "At NVC". 

Am i CC ?
