Hi Friends,

I have filed I-130 last week, and it all went really smooth.

The lady at the winow just asked for the papers and the photographs. She took some pictures and returned the rest. And that was it. Then she said we will hear from the chennai consulate within 2 months or so ! Any way it was much easier than we expected.

Thank you so much for helping me getting everything in place.

Now I have some questions regarding what next..

What they told us is to wait for the response from Chennai. And as you said, we didnt get the packet 3/3.5(?) from the window.

I guess you had a similar experience. How long did it take for you to get the packet 3?

Did you do some follow up after your filing? if yes, could you please send me the email/phone# for communication?

Regarding afidavit of support, since my wife is not working here in India, we need to get the income of her parents(household members I 864A)

Is it needed for them to notarize the I 864A, since they are sending it from the US?

if she has a bank balance of 16500 USD which is the 125% of the poverty line income, would that be enough? It might be safe to include the income of her parents too right?

I can get an offer letter from the head quarters of my company which is in Washington where I can continue my job in the US. Can I include that in the aphidavit of support?

Since the objective of this is to make sure that I wont be a public charge, An assured job offer would be a possible item to include. So is there a way I can include it?

I really appreciate if anyone could shed more light on these questions.

thank you so much

We got packet 3 from Mumbai instead of Chennai in two weeks, and two weeks later, Mumbai informed us that we should be hearing from Chennai since our place falls under the jurisduction of Chennai and so they are forwarding our case to Chennai.

Then I sent a mail to chennai, saying we already have packet 3 and shall we send it to you..

Today I got a mail from Chennai saying go ahead a send the same packet 3 to Chennai

In the mean time, as Raj and Sam suggested, I approached the Police commisioner to get a PCC. Interestingly, everything was super easy.

First I went to the commisioner office and said I want to have PCC. There were a PRO, and he said I need 2 photos, copy of passport, certificate from the local police station saying that there is no case in my name, and a written application.

Then I went to the police station to get the certificate. The sub inspector gave me a chair to write the application and within 5 minutes I got the certificate from them.

Then I went to the commisioner office back, and then I was told that there will be a varifiaction at my house by a police man. and he came to my house next day, and I got the PCC the day after.

So everything took just about 3 days, and it went real smooth.

I was really impressed by the police dpt of Kochi. I'm not sure if it is the same in other cities of Kerala.
