Interview Tips for Chennai/ Mumbai/ Delhi/ Calcutta

Hi All,

I have a question on W-2 pay check. In my pay check, I am still filing my status as Single even though I am married back in February. The reason I did not change my filing status is my wife is yet to arrrive into united states. Also one of my friends told me that in order to file as married my spouse should be in united states. Is that correct? Currently she is going through CR1 process and will be ready for her interview next month. During NVC proces, I submitted pay checks for the last few months and I will be sending additional pay stub copies to my spouse prior to interview.

The question is if consular look at my pay checks during her interview and sees that filing status is single, is that a problem?

Please help me?

Thanks Dev for your good wishes. I am so glad to have made it to October - it is such a big consolation for me.

Your welcome Sunny!

I should be extremely thankful to Navyk and Dave& Kinnari for their continuous support for me when I was desparately waiting for interview date. They encouraged me to be positive all the time. I Really appreciate your time and efforts helping out to folks such as me. I will also help others with their questions if I can able to answer.

I am glad that I could be of help. This process is a emotional and tough one. I am happy that we are getting closer and closer to the finish line. I

You should be fine. I have the same exact situation, I got married in Feb as well. The IRS allows you to 3 years to file an adjustment on past taxes just in case the consulate gives your wife issues. Be sure that you tell your wife of this issue just in case if they ask for it and you will file an adjustment as soon as he lands foot in the USA.

Does anybody know how much are the medical/physical exam fees at the Ahmedabad Apollo hospital? My hubby has his medical on the 9/16 and we were wondering how much cash to take, is there a max? Thanks guys. Also, do we need the original I864-financial evidence during the interview or copies are fine? We already submitted those to NVC beforehand.

Thanks again for your help.

My wife is going to the same place for the medical and on the same day as well!

I suggested she take around 8000 to 9000 Rupees. I doubt it will be more than 5000-6000 depending on the amount of vaccinations the doctor suggests she get.

Do you have an RFE from NVC that needs to completed and submitted during the interview? What does it say? I think you should be okay since I also got married in Feb and I submitted my pay checks from this year however NVC asked me to fill the I864 based on last years income and include last two years tax papers as well( I also have a co-sponsor). I hope my RFE regarding I864 goes smooth in the interview for my hubby. Good luck

Ours is Nov. 10th... we just wanted to get the medical and passport clearance cert out of the way as she needs her passport to take a few exams so she can apply to graduate schools here. Only ID they allow for those exams is her passport.
