The interview was at a very short notice. At some point of time on the NVC site the validity of the PCC was shown to be 2 years. So there was not enough time for getting the new PCC. We should plan to have a new PCC within the next few months. My and my wife's DQ date is March 23, 2021 and we plan to get the new PCC in late March. It takes 21 days to get the same. -
My In-laws completed Finger Printing appointment at Mumbai BKC. Overall it was smooth.
Appointment was at 2 PM. They reached early at 1.15. At entrance they saw the VAC fingerprinting appt letter, temperature check (for COVID)
Document were verified later in building (as listed below). They gave the full folder with all documents and they reviewed it and took document they needed.
After security scanning, they were each given two different counters counter 11 and 15. Looks like multiple counters were open and there was no queue.
At the counter they verified name, DOB, and few documents. Took fingerprinting and photos and stamped the DS 260 that it was completed and attached the photos to DS260 and told them to take it to actual interview
They were outside at 1.30 (15 min total)
Documents they took
1. Passport
2. DS 260 confirmation (one pager)
3. 2 Photos (not mentioned in the VAC appt letter)
4. VAC fingerprinting appt.
5. Actual Interview appt. email confirmation
As cell phone is not allowed, they had booked OLA cab and took OLA cab driver cell phone. At the VAC receptionist they requested to call OLA cab driver and they assisted them (as they did not take their cell phone). Cab driver came and they went back home.
At VAC everyone was very supportive and helpful esp. for elderly. They guide them if needed.
Now next is Medical on 20 Jan

High School certificate is not accepted as proof of Birth. You need a birth certificate. In the absence of this document, you need three things, a non-availability certificate from the Office of Birth and Deaths, and two affidavits from people who could vouch that they are actually aware of the birth. Obviously the persons giving such notorized affidavits must be elder by about 10 years. For details refer to the US Immigration Services website.Originally posted by Sect8 View PostComment

During medical test what vaccines are they administering? My parents don't have any vaccine records and I'm concerned the hospital will needlessly jab them.Comment

As you said above “Interview Date -01/12/2022 (docs needed - interview letter, passport, birth cert (petitioner and applicant), marriage cert, PCC, DS260 with 2 photos)”
As I am the Petitioner for my parents do I have to send them my original marriage certificate? Or copy will do?
Thanks in advance!!Comment
