May 2010 Interviews

[gistereb 0]

Will do. But where did you get that info that PCC's are good for a year. Is there a site? I also was told by NVC that they are good for a year but they don't matter at this point as its the CO we have to deal with.

if even till monday you are having sleepless nights over the sticker on the back of the passport - you hubby can go to the vfs with the pp and vfs receipts and ask them why there is no sticker on the back of his passport. ok??

you have pushed the envelop - and there are a few days left for the interview - personally, i do not think its a good idea at this point of time to call the consulate for clarification about your certificates. in all probabilities your certificates are good for the consulate and they may have not have given it a second thought. calling them up and bugging them and raising doubts over the validity of your own certificates either over the phone or at the interview will certainly raise a red flag and it would be a clear invitation for the co to hand you a 221g. just calm down now and tell your hubby not to volunteer any info at the interview in all the nervousness and excitement. just answer truthfully all the questions put forth by the co. thats it. you will make it thru.

i have also read somewhere here someplace that at the interview even after being approved, an applicant had blurted out something and the co called her back and immediately handed a 221g.

Tatyana................The reason why the consulates ask for a new PCC after 6 months of its issuance is because someone might get into trouble with the law over that 6 months period and they want the new and updated one. However your husband has not lived in Dubai for over two years so what new evidance they can possibly get from an updated Dubai PCC. Just think logically and take a chill pill. You are golden for the interview. Encourage your husband for the interview and not fret about the little details. The fact that your husband has not lived in Dubai for the last two years is cleraly indicated in your DS-230. The consulars are no dummies.

If they are asking for a new Indian PCC that makes sense since your husband currently resides in India. But Dubai? Seriously? You are going to fly through the interview and you wil be with your husband in no time. Now enjoy your weekend and don't worry.

I do too, hopefully the days will pass faster and faster until we're all at our "VJ" convention in Vegas, with our significant others!!

Do you know what she told the CO?

i think it had to do something about the current domicile status of the sponsor/joint sponsor. and she was issued requested to submit domicile status evidence of the sponsor/jt. sponsor. eventually the visa was approved after submission and verification of the requested evidence. but this caused an unnecessary delay.

[sachinky 464]

you have pushed the envelop - and there are a few days left for the interview - personally, i do not think its a good idea at this point of time to call the consulate for clarification about your certificates. in all probabilities your certificates are good for the consulate and they may have not have given it a second thought. calling them up and bugging them and raising doubts over the validity of your own certificates either over the phone or at the interview will certainly raise a red flag and it would be a clear invitation for the co to hand you a 221g. just calm down now and tell your hubby not to volunteer any info at the interview in all the nervousness and excitement. just answer truthfully all the questions put forth by the co. thats it. you will make it thru.

THIS. I am almost positive that the reason they specifically asked for my joint sponsor's 2009 taxes simply because he had emailed them a week or so asking them if they were necessary and also indicating he was reluctant to turn them in. There was simply no other reason for them to ask for them, he makes way more than enough. They even specifically asked for the W2. At that point, it was literally like my worst nightmare coming true. While I was waiting for my name to be called for the interview, I was fully preparing myself for a blue slip. It was simply a case of highlighting what was missing and them consequently asking for the missing documentation. Talk about shooting yourself in the foot. I'm so mad at my joint sponsor but whatevs. But I'm also very, very thankful for my second joint sponsor who sent in everything a couple of days before the interview. He seriously saved my butt. I think we got through on his documents or else I'd have most certainly given a blue slip and asked to produce the W2.

I called Mumbai Consulate several times to clarify a bunch of things but I NEVER identified myself by name or case number. I wanted to know how long the PCCs were valid for (mine were crossing over 6 months and I was wondering if I should get new ones). But I didn't want to specifically tell them THAT and then have them say, oh, yeah, you need new ones.

4 days, 9 hours, 34 minutes and 20 seconds till departure time!

[Deb+Steve 13]

4 days, 9 hours, 34 minutes and 20 seconds till departure time!

I seriously never thought we'd get here way back when in September. Irritates me no end that people who filed 3 months after us are at the same stage purely because of how long USCIS took with our petitions.

No offense to those filers - just saying. I love youse all ...
