Timesnap -- when my wife called the embassy and finally got through, they told her that she could come and pick up pachet 4 anytime after 3PM from counter 17. If you want more info, let me know and I will find out from the her.

Please let me know when she gets her packet 4. We have still not recd packet 3 and I am confused and worried about packet 4. Also has she already gotten all her vaccinations yet ? My husband has his appt scheduled for monday ..and he has no record of vaccinations that he had when he was young..I just hope vaccinations dont take long to be administered :-(

And yeah I sent all supporting documents to him today which he should get by monday or tuesday ! Keeping my fingers crossed !

kpathak,

I'm a girl. My Avinash will be there on September 20th. Is anyone going to fly over for moral support during the interview? I was thinking about it.

well not me ...I just came back on August 17 so cant go back again. Did not know it will hapen so soon o/w would have postponed the trip may be ....

Nah -- I am not flying out there either. I figured that I could probably spend the $2K on a nice vacation for the two of us instead of going to India. It's not like you can go in with the spouse for the interview anyway...

Cheers,

Timesnap, don't worry yaar... here is the scoop. My wife still has not gotten packet 3. She couriered the DS-230 part I and hence satisfied the requirements for the interview date. So did your husband. Day before yesterday, Aradhana got a hold of someone at the embassy and got her interview date. So did your hubby. The guy at the immigration visa section told her to show up between 2PM and 3 PM at counter number 14 or 15 (I incorrectly said counter 17 earlier) and pick up her packet 4. So can your hubby.

Medical exam needs an appointment letter (Aradhana called the doctors and found out). They also do the shots at the same place. No appointment needed and it's a one-day deal. So the next step is -- get the Police and Passport clearance leters, pick up packet 4, get medical done, submit courier fees and get the other documents ready.

Incidentally, I also got an email from ND a couple of hours ago (after hassling them for 3 days) which is listed below:

Sir/Madam,

We are pleased to report that we have scheduled you for an immigrant visa interview on 20-SEP-2006 08:00am. At the interview, a consular officer will determine whether you are qualified for a visa. If no ineligibilities are found, we will process the case for the issuance of visa.

Notification of this appointment was sent to you. This notification packet included important information about the required medical examination to be performed by an approved physician. The results of this examination, which take three working days to complete after the initial visit, must be presented by the applicant at the time of the interview. In case if you do not receive your appointment letter two weeks before your interview date, please contact Embassy’s information window number 14 or 15 on any working day at 2.00 P.M.

Thank you.

Thanks Kpathak
