Thank you everyone. Wife arrived at the US embassy in Dhaka at 6:00 AM. But there were people already queuing up since 4:00 AM. At about 7:30 AM, the wife got inside the building. On about 8:00 AM mark, she was called in. She had only one interview from what I can tell. The wife is not giving me too much details. She's eating now and then she will go to the doctor with her mom, for her mom. So it would be quite rude of me to keep her now. So I said she should hurry to the doctor. We'll talk tomorrow. I'll get more details and post here. But looks like the officer was really nice to my wife. I can't blame him. My wife is way too hot for anyone to not me nice to her. One perk of being hot I guess is everyone's nice to you.

binny,

Everything looks good.

1) Include 1 set photocopy of all the above civil documents

2) Write NVC Case#, Beneficiary full name and DOB at the back of the PP size photos

3) Explain clearly that you are from Gujrat state of India and it will NOT provide PP office PCC, so it will be produced at the interview time. Therefore, please do not issue any RFE on this.

Good luck!

Loto

So photocopy of everything Except DS-230 and Biographic page of petitioner PP. Do I also have to send a copy of notarized copy of beneficiary's PP ?

Dear Sir/Madam,

Hereby, please find DS-230 application and supporting documents for (Beneficiary) xxxxxx to acquire immigrant visa (ICR-1).

Please note that, at this time we were unable to obtain PASSPORT CLEARANCE CERTIFICATE from Ahmedabad Passport Office, India.

So, for now we have attached a notarized copy of local police clearance certificate with this application (Original police clearance certificate is required to submit with the application for PASSPORT CLEARANCE CERTIFICATE).

Since we are unable to obtain Passport clearance certificate at this time from Ahmedabad,Gujarat,India because of the above reasons and it will NOT provide PP office PCC in this package, so it will be produced at the interview time. Therefore, please do not issue any RFE.

binny, beneficiary's PP copy (biographic page) is very much needed. Notarization is not needed.

Petitioner's PP copy is NOT needed, just optional.

Yes, 1 set photopcopy of all civil documents must be included in IV packet.

Mubarak, FatimaEl. My wife had her interview also. It was last night at 9:00PM US CST. They asked her only my name and our wedding date. The interview was over in mere minutes. She's approved. She'll go to USEM on 11/JAN to pick up her passport with VISA and all the original documents.

Yes photocopy of everything except DS-230. In my case my husband sent a true copy of all the photcopies tht is including the passport photocopy.

Thank you everyone. Wife arrived at the US embassy in Dhaka at 6:00 AM. But there were people already queuing up since 4:00 AM. At about 7:30 AM, the wife got inside the building. On about 8:00 AM mark, she was called in. She had only one interview from what I can tell. The wife is not giving me too much details. She's eating now and then she will go to the doctor with her mom, for her mom. So it would be quite rude of me to keep her now. So I said she should hurry to the doctor. We'll talk tomorrow. I'll get more details and post here. But looks like the officer was really nice to my wife. I can't blame him. My wife is way too hot for anyone to not me nice to her. One perk of being hot I guess is everyone's nice to you.

CONGRATULATIONS! WOW u r almost done. :dance::dance::dance::dance::dance::dance::dance::dance::dance: Really Happy u Good Luck 2 you n your wife on this new journey.
