Well see NVC required only the DS230 Part 1 and Passport Photocopies, I sent these to NVC as they required also.

While here the Mumbai consulate requires some of the same items additional items like the Checklist Applicant statement and photos.

Dont know if you saw the pdf I linked too.

Hi Bacchha!

When you are going through IR1/CR1 process, you won't be receiving packet 3 from consulate in India.

Rather, NVC/Consulate would only mail you packet 4 - which is instructions that comes along with your appointment letter.

Hope this helps!

Cheers

Hi! I just spoke with a representative and He said that " Effective of January 1st 2008 Madras is going to be appointment NVC processing"

Please follow Appointment NVC processing to avoid an RFE....

Take care

The sudden change from standard to appointment processing is so bad and we have to run for documents all of a sudden!

Should we send Orginals in case of appointment processing? i saw a option of sending certified documents also, that means we can send attested copies of orginals too? ...if so from were do we get all this documents attested?

Thanks!

Hi Dunhill

I sent original birth and marriage certs coz the respective authorities had issued 2 copies of each. But I had only one original PCC so I sent a photocopy notarized by a notary lawyer. I hope they accept it coz I didn't want to take a chance by sending the original PCC, just in case they misplace the original. I will take it with me at the time of interview.

Praying that all goes well at NVC and I hear "CASE COMPLETE" sssoooonnn...

All the Best

My DS-230 instructions was still for standard processing...so I followed standard processing and sent docs accordingly.

My guess if your DS-230 was generated in Dec'07 than its standard processing.

Anyways, My DS-230 is with NVC - I will keep you folks posted.

Cheers

Spoke to NVC again regarding certified copies......

We should get attested/certified copies from issuing authorities it self!! ....i guess better to send the orginals instead of running around........but at the same time i am worried about getting the originals back safely ........lets pary thats is the only way!!

Dunhill, you could send photocopies that were notarized in India to NVC...

OK, time to post my case status...I spoke to operator today and was told that I have to send original - marriage certificate, spouse's birth certificate and police certificates.

Luckily, my wife has already got her police certificates. I will now have to mail them back to NVC next week.

So we have to send originals to NVC now :-)
