Hello guys

So I got 221g during my interview asking me to prove the domicile of the petetioner So we submitted the job offer letter and a letter from my wife sister that we will be staying at her place and am Airticket But unfortunately we again got the 221g just after a week of submitting mentioning that documents provided by me are not sufficient so now my wife is in US for a month now and she has bank account and credit/debit card and temporary driving license which she just got yesterday so my question is are these documents enough now?? Is temporary driving license will

Solve the purpose as she won't get the permanent one any time soon as her road test is in first week of November

I got the following reply just now. It is under administrative processing. What is administrative processing ? I have seen most cases with approved response from USCIS Delhi.

I think there is a bit of an extra delay when the I-130 is filed in one consulate (new delhi) in this case but the case is then forwarded to another consulate for further processing (mumbai, chennai) which definitely does add some extra administrative processing.

Thanks for the reply guys. I've been looking high and dry for the residency requirements but absolutely no luck! Your info does help but I'm a little concerned because my USC wife has moved here and will be a housewife. Therefore, even after five more months, when she's been in Mumbai for six months, we won't be able to prove that she's earning any income.

We're also in the process of launching a e-commerce startup jointly, and I don't forsee generating any income for at least a year. I contacted the New Delhi Embassy and all they said was they don't have any particular amount of minimum stay in India that is required to prove residency here. What do you guys reckon?

Phone, water, electricity bills in petioners name.

Petitioner's children studying locally to prove that he/she very much was in the country by method of implication (if kids in school locally , parents must be around too)

Aadhar Card (country based identity card)

Driving licence in this country

Local bank accounts

local tax returns

Immigration stamps on passport (must be long term)

OCI Card/ Foreign Registration. (If person in india over 6 months, one of these two is necessary anyway else one is in the country illegally)

If person here for tourist visa and has none of the above, i dont think one stands much of a chance of filing dcf here in Delhi.

Need Help.

 

Petition filed 20 oct. 2016 at New Delhi- received email with subject PKT 4 giving instructions on 26th December,2016.

(Nothing by snail mail...just the email).

 

The email simply stated my case number, said i should go to NVC and fill my D260 and after i have the confirmation number, i should schedule two appointments.

Nothing regarding what to pay , when and how to pay.

 

Went to nvc, filled out the 260, got a confirmation number, went to the interview scheduler page and made two appointments.

 

Issue faced: the page did not let me get appointments for two consectutive days...hence whichever day i chose , it allowed me to only get the consular interview date a few days later on 17th feb. Ideally, i wanted to get 16th for biometrics and 17th for interview...but any date i put, ie 16th, 15th even 13th...it only allowed me consular interview date as 17th at 8:30 in the morning.

 

Anyway, then i chose 15th 3 pm for biometrics which is said is at nehru place in new delhi.

and 17th feb, 8:30 in the morning for the interview at the new delhi embassy.

 

 

So, now i have to schedule the medical examination, called up max healthcare mohali but they said to call a month prior and not before that.

 

Questions that remain unanswered...

 

1. Is the biometrics and interview on alternate dates 

2. When to pay...and how much and can i pay in cash ?

3. in the packet 4 email, it was mentioned that my date of birth in format dd-mm-yyyy is my invoice number...but nowhere during any process that i followed was i asked for any invoice number.

 

Anyone gone or going through this process at new delhi, please share your experiences.

 

rgds.

Hi

Me and my girlfriend are planning to get married in july 2107 ,she is us citizen and living in india from past 10-15 yrs with OCI card  and i am a indian citizen . what should we do , to get through DCF process .

we both are 21 and now we are planning to get settle in U.S.  

the problem is we never did any job as  we are students and you said that they ask for

• Copy of my 6 month's salary slips
• Copy of latest Indian tax return
• Copy of 1 year's bank statement showing the salary being credited to my account

 

can you please suggest what should we do ?.

[patriot10 11]

For immigration purpose, they need nothing from you..only from the US citizen. She needs to be making more than approx. 35000 usd a year to be able to sponsor you...which she is not...so you will need to get a joint sponsor , someone in the US, earning in US and hence paying taxes in US.

Other than that, if you are married under 2 years, then you will apply for CR1 visa, but you are not even married yet.

So, you have to decide whether you will get married then apply, or you plan to get a fiance visa and then marry.

I note that you have a long way to go so better you spend a few days on this forum just reading various posts to see what all may apply to you and then proceed step by step.

To answer my own questions for the benefit of others...

 

1. The biometrics and interview are indeed on two different dates, with a one day gap.

2. One pays on the day of the interview (tested for new delhi) and yes, one can pay cash in USD or in INR.

3. Nowhere was invoice number asked and hence thats the end of the matter...i suppose one should just keep in mind that if invoice number asked then date of birth...but for me, it was asked at no point.
