Can any one who would used JFK as POE starting working? Do they require SSN in this period? They have noted a number on my passport at JFK, is that the EAD authorisation?

Thx

Thanks!!

Anybody know how long it takes to get your SSN & Green card mailed to you? As per the new rules we need not apply for SSN, they get the details from immigration dept..right? if so, can we check status somewere?

Thanks!

Thankyou everybody for the wishes!

I had submited PCCs, marraige photographs, proof of realtion stuffs to VFS. I got all these back along with all orginals submitted to NVC earlier.

You need to carry your spouse latest tax documents (eg. 2007) for interview. They are asking everybody !!

Also check if your PCCs submitted/carried to consulate is with in the time limit (eg 6 months) or else u need to get new ones before interview to avoid delay.

Carry your marriage albums to interview...they don't ask always but!!

Medical is simple; and nothing to worry if you do not have vaccination records; they give few shots depending on your age.

GOOD LUCK!!

HI All,

I got my visa approved on 28th!! Thankyou all VJs for your support; especially mgk & ELW. Wishing all future applicants good luck & faster processing.

The interview was smooth & i got the following questions from the visa officer:

1. When did u meet your spouse first?

2. Have you travelled to any other countries before? if so for what?

3. What do you intent to work once in US?

4. Have u left your current job?

5. Where does ur spouse live in US? wht is ur spouse doing?

and many more similar questions.....

Pls let me know if you need any detailed info ...........Good luck to all!!

HI All,

I completed my interview on 28th and got approved! Thankyou Jesus!!

Details posted seperately.

You can try hotel palmgroove, crystal residency, sea shell residency. all these are close to embassy. I stayed at Palgroove it was affordable and ok kind; Walkable to embassy & VFS.

Sure mohgli, i will keep you posted abt my experience as soon as i am back after interview.

Anish & Lijy, as Roza said they will check financial support once gain at consulate especially the latest records!

Good luck every one!!

On seeing your child hood vaccination record, the physician will determine which all vaccinations you should be given as per ur age and other factors.

You can tell your medical history when they ask; if you have a record its good, otherwise also itz fine.

Thanks neethope; sure i will keep you all posted after my interview.

Sending orginals is better; i tried my luck with notorised documents but got RFE

1. Previous vaccination records

2. Any previous medicals records (if you have)

3. 1 passport size photo for submitting at Lab

4. 2 visa type photos

5. Orginal passport

6. Orginal Interview letter

Hope it helps!

Hi neethope,

Immunizations is very simple and nothing to worry; Collect a certificate/record for the vacinations taken now and show it to the panel physician along with the reports you get from lab. He will determine if you require anymore vaccinations as per ur age. If he gives anymore vacinations he will charge you seperately for that. If you don't have any records you need to take all vacinations which ever they suggest.

VFS: atleast 3 days before interview you need to pay a fee of rs 365/- to VFS and hand over any documents requested by consulate/NVC; like any orginals, proof of relation stuffs. You can also carry such documents for interview straight.

Completed Medical & VFS formalities in chennai. Every thing was smooth by God's grace; Do let me know if anyone has any questions on medicals & VFS procedures.

TC !!

Did you get the orginals submitted to NVC & VFS??

Congartulations & wish you a happy life ahead!1

Good luck for your processing & interview!

Thanks ELW!! i am very clear now.

Hi!

Does VFS give a recepit indicating each documents received? or is it better that we carry orginal documents directly to interview/consulate? Which is best as per your experiences?

Thanks!!

So sorry to hear your story, you could have asked the CO whether you can produce a govt certificate proving that ur marriage is Genuine or can't you submit a new registered marriage certifficate?

Cancelling and appling again via I-130 will be tougher now...again it would take another 10 months even for a interview; i would suggest if nothing else works, ask your spouse to come down & do a registered marriage fresh and file DCF in India and you will be done in 3 months.

good luck & pray that God shows an easy way out.

Thanks Neethope. What stage are u now?? put ur time lines.... & all the best!

May be some senator would have given a push!!...moreover NVC gives preference for cases which are being delaying longer....in the earlier stages

will your spouse be carring marriage album to the consulate? will VFS accept a copy of marriage VCD ?? any thoughts?
