NVC here I come! we have all paperwork ready for next steps, and what was the most difficult is over. the long long waiting. my K3 lil family, I am focusing in pulling all of u out of VSC as soon as possible, to have company at NVC. remember, power of mind does miracles.

If both petitions are approved, its better afterwards to choose CR1 or K3? Do you think will be the same time at NVC for both? Because we are waiting so much already for K3...I`m waiting 8 months :blink:

Chris&Jessica, the long wait is for NOA2. CR1 visa is way better than K3 .and if they get approved same time, best choice to me looks like CR1. but I will go both routes same time, wont hurt anyways. the hope is to get a good date for K3 interview, and by then to be done with NVC and change it to CR1 interview. good luck with yr approval. should come anyday now

thank u everyone. I never knew group waiting can be so addictive and u can attach to ppl in same boat with u so much. my confesion is that I announced here I have my NOA2, and just then call my mother to give her the good news. I thought was a funny reaction, when i realized it

Hi friend (CJ Vasani)..

your all post is very important for everyone including me. if i am not wrong your wife is from valsad and she got PCC from valsad....i am also from valsad and lots of confusion abt PCC. my wife from NJ-USA has applied I130 for me and it is approved.

can you tell me ,what is procedure to get PCC from local police station. what document they ask?. currently i have only USCIS receipt copy(not original), Approval letter copy (not original) and how much time they take?. I have one contact in DSP office also.

same way, wht is procedure etc in passport office surat ? i called surat office,they said bring original passport,300 rs fee and fill up form, but didnt tell how much time it will take ?

pls guide me friend

Peter
