My interview has been pre-poned to JUNE 3rd ar CHENNAI CONSULATE.... just received an E-mail from CHenai IV. I also received my wife's passport pcc today. I am trying to schedule my wife's medicals at Vijaya Diagnostic center at HYDERABAD. I hope thay they give us a date soon.

How long does it take the DR to give you the medical reports?? and how many days before does she need to go to the VFS to submit the new pcc and medicals?? can she take those directly to the consulate at the time of the interview ??

wow! congrats man!!! i know what hell your wife went thru to get the PCC. i think you can just take things to the consulate...

:rofl: Sachi and Vivek are gettin' some before anyone. So jealous!!! And then all the rest of you... Gosh!

Thank you guys for the support. You guys help me calm down so much. I appreciate you. Today is looking like a much better day for Thailand. Hopefully the embassy will open Monday and we can get back to business.

A good travel website recommended to me: www.asaptickets.com You pick your date, then call them. You pick your time. They try to upsell you. You say no. You give them the code on the website and get the price quoted. Tada! $1200 ticket are suddenly $750, taxes and fees included. If any of you use it, let us know how it goes.

poe at iah, houstton texas - may 20, 2010

very easy going. there wasnt much lines. the io collected my passport, brown cover checked them in his system - finger scans again and photograph. then he gave all my documents, pp to another io who took me to hall where there were around 20 people. here i had to wait for 15 mins when my name was called out and the io here took my right index finger print and signature on a document and i was handed back my passport with the endorsement stamp this along with the visa will serve as a temp i551 evidencing residence for 1 year. i was also told that i could leave the u.s. and come back anytime and this would serve as a temp gc for 1 year.

and by the way, they do not care much about the xrays.

another point here, we do not have to fill in any form they hand you out on the flight except the customs decl. form. as the i94 is for visitors and it clearly says us citizens, returning resi aliens, aliens with immigrant visas, and canadian citizens need not fill this forms. when i asked the cabin crew on the flight, they were a bit confused. but the ios did not ask for this form, just the pps and the brown covers - and i am writing this because i had seen a post on vj asking about this.

i couldnt sleep probably jet lag so i decided to check out the progress on this topic and also relate my exp at the poe. all the best to tatyana and kirthiraj and to all going in for the interviews next.
