Hey Loto,

Congrats bro on your early December interview date and best of luck with the interview.

Had a little bit of a bad day today, got hit on the rear of my car by a guy whose brakes failed. Nothing major. Just have to get it repaired (mostly bumper and a small dent on the trunk, very drivable though).

Hope you have got your India tickets all booked now and hope you got good rates. Also, check out jetairways.com and use promotion code JACCIN for good prices. I just booked my tickets to India for December 3rd. Will be there for a couple of months and plan to be back late Feb/early March. I guess you are traveling a week after me.

I hope to get SIF by month end before leaving so if there is an sort of RFE, I can take care of it before leaving.

Hopefully it all works in the end

Hope you get ur SIF soon as well. I am going to india on November 24th and booked my tickets way in advance so got a decent deal.

Congrats Phel!!!!!

So we called NVC today, found out that they aren't too up on the DS-260 and we have to fill out the DS-230 and send it to them. So as I'm filing this out now, I have some questions:

#31a. Person named in 14 accompanying who will accompany you to the U.S.

-is it N/A since my husband is already in the U.S.? Yes I would say put N/A as you are the only one traveling to US.

#32. Past employments...I have to list them from the last ten years, I have the present 6 years accounted for but the last 4 is when I was in university..do I just put STUDENT? I dont think you would have to put student. Just employment history for as long as your worked. For my wife's case, I just put in the few months she worked. The other dates for university should be taken care of under #33

#33. Schools...how far back to I go? Do they just want high school, university...or do I include elementary school? I would go from elementary on to college. Better to have everything than getting a RFE.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

I would say put NONE instead of N/A.

Loto

Change of name i c...good one

We are hoping for December 15th through 20th Interview if all goes to plan wish us luck everyone

good luck

@John: Congrats, bruv! I'm quite sure you're going to get a December interview.

Thanks IS. If i do get it, great or else Jan for sure.

Update: I just called NVC to see if I can get any additional information about my case. The lady said that "your case has been completed and now we are waiting to schedule an appointment based on the consulate load. Please call back next week Tuesday and we can let you know if you have gotten an interview date or no in December".

i know Mumbai consulate is really really busy and takes 1.5-2 months at the minimum. So doubt it will happen in December but January, 2011 looks good for me.

ahhhhhhhhh!!!! I am so happy

interview date: 17th November!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

way to soon!!! so I am so nervous and stressed!!!

I will be with my baby soon if it is God's will !!! "

Congrats!!!!

Good chance you will be getting some good news soon. congrats!!

What about me Loto?

So far your predictions are true.

I am not calling you Octopus Paul though

LOL!!! Good one Malvika.

Congrats!!!! You got it a lot earlier than you expected. Really happy for you. :dance:

Congratulation on your approval :dance: :dance: That means PCC explanation letter works

thanks. Yes it did in my case.

Yay!!! Congrats!!! Isn't is a great feeling to be able to fill in yet another date on your timeline? :dance:

Thanks. It definitely is a great feeling. One step closer to getting to your loved one closer to you.

Nice John!!!!! :thumbs: Seee, I told you that you would beat me

You did Teya. I wasn't expecting it this soon but will gladly take it. Now only if I can get a december interview.

Congrats johndoe12!

Anxiously waiting for tomorrow so we can find out what is needed for our missing documents

Thanks Heather&Matt. Hoping for the best for you as well.

@ TomD - Thanks. I guess the final final review is left. Not sure but I am just hoping for a miracle for December Interview

@ Malvika - Thanks. Yes It was yesterday when i was talking about it and then today its all done. Now final review/interview date Lets see how long this part takes.

Oh man, I wanted an RFE for you for that Guj PCC issue Anyway, it didn't happen

Just kidding I am so happy for you, JD Great news

Happy re-union before the new year!

Loto

LOL!!! Going to see her in 14 days anyway so it should be a good re-union. But would like her to come back with me if possible. Lets see. I heard that they have started scheduling December interviews but doubt I will make it to the list. Mumbai Consulate has a 1.5-2 months wait just like Chennai. So lets see.

I can understand your feeling Good news of the day

So, your Guj PP office PCC was not an issue at all at NVC, based on the letter, huh? Glad to know it

Loto

Hey Milena, How's life in the U.S? :) :)

Loto

Looks like it wasn't an issue at all with the letter. Worked out in my favor i guess.

Thanks Tabndan, Loto and Indigo...i am soo happy today and just praying for December Interview.

Thanks OBX and Markieboy

Update: I was just bored right now and check to the NVC payment portal for the heck of it. And to my surprise i got a SIF. I didnt believe it at the first try, entered information again, got SIF again. didnt believe it again, did this 4 times and then had my wife try it as well and got the same result. SIF!!!!! Just to make sure i call the AVR to check what it says on there and i heard the

Your Case was completed on November 10, 2010. Please allow 8 weeks for further instructions.

:dance:

I dont get it how i got the SIF without a checklist. I didnt submit my passport office PCC. I am hoping that I get an interview letter and checklist for it to take to the interview. Is there a chance for December Interview? PRAYING PRAYING PRAYING.

Thanks for your help everyone. really appreciate it.

Loto - Please elaborate on your technique please. I would like to get my file to the embassy as well

Wow spoke to the worst operator ever..she was in such a hurry. But she did provide me the information finally saying that they received the AOS package with tax returns and blah blah blah. I asked about the IV package and she said call back in 2-4 weeks. I guess i keep calling everyday now as it seems that my packages have been entered into the System on Nov 1st. Yay!!!! almost 2 weeks r going to be done this friday. So starting next week I will be calling more frequently. LOL!!

Thanks Svenkatc for the help.

Does this sequences sound right?

Call again and talk to someone else. Ask the same questions slowly. You probably got a highly trained parrot

LOL!! Looks like it. I keep hitting those highly trained parrots all the time.

That certainly would indicate they have entered one of the two packets (mostly the IV) in their system. Call NVC and ask them the below questions,

1) Has my AOS packet been entered in to your system ?

2) Has my IV packet been entered in to your system ?

That's exactly what I keep asking but I get the same answer "allow 2-4 weeks for NVC to review your package and then they will mail you a checklist or your case well be completed and sent to the embassy"
