Ours were a breeze. no question asked. We are still waiting for our approval letter.

You the person who was sitting next to us? I think i had asked you at the Cashier's window where you from and you had said New Jersey... right?
And there were about 14 couple actually because some were coming in later as well. The Nuber ID had gone up to 28 towards later.
Good to have you here though.
Cheers,
Mickey

1). From where did you get your Police Clearance Certificate? Did the station already know what you're asking from them?
I have to get it from Haryana...from my native place....but in police station they know what we are asking for. Specially in Noida cuz lot of ppl are going to them to get it. So don't worry....just go there and they will tell you how to do. You need to get one from Regional passport office. for this you just need to meet Mr. Chandel ( i wrote qbout him to you but in another post..if u didn't read that i am telling his address again. In Atta Market, near Aggarwal sweets..just look up...near by u will find a board written PASSPORT in Big capital letters. it is his office) . He is certified agent formMOE. but again it is up to you, if you want to do it by yourself you can do it...but y i am refering this person cuz he has very good links in Gaziabad passport Office...he would make it quite easy. I also took his help.
Let me know how it goes or if you want to ask anything else of me.
One more thing...do I need to get all the photostates attested at the time of presenting it to officer?
for next week mostly i will be on leave..if u want to know any thing about PCC you can contact me on above email id. Just FYI I am working in Noida at present.

Thanks a lot.
Getting the Police Clearance Certificate from the Police Commissioner here won't be a problem... i know people in that area here
... as for the Certificate from the Ghaziabad Passport Office, i'm definately heading for Mr. Chandel in Atta Market, as you told me. Thanks a lot for that. For the DCF Filing, you dont' need to get anything attested. We did not have a single thing attested. The Marriage Certificate is the only Registered Document, other things are just photocopies of your original documents.
Cool that you're in Noida. I'll keep your email handy and might get in touch with you there.
Have a great day.
Cheers,
Mickey

Re: DCF in New Delhi - I-130 Approved!!
Astrum!
I forgot to ask something ...
1) Is there somewhere i can get the DS Form 230 Part I & The Checklist from, over the internet, just to view the contents?
2) Can i get the PCC already from the Police Station & the Passport Office, or do i have to wait for the Packet 3 to arrive? Can i just go to the concerned places and ask them for the Certificate right away? Is there anything particular that is required in these Certificates, or the issuing athorities know what they have to give?
Thanks,
Mickey

Re: DCF in New Delhi - I-130 Approved!!
Yes that was me!!!
I already had my DS-230 forms filled out and and ready to submit but the fella who interviewed us would not take it from us. He asked us to wait.
The forms are downloadable from the US embassy website in delhi.
My wife's going to wait until the appt. letter arrives before she applies for PCC. A little something will then speed up the PCC process.
Let me know when you recieve your approval letter. I am getting impatient with mine :-)

Should be getting the approval letter soon now, hang in there
Have a great day!

Hope your'e doing good.
Oh no.. you don't have to get it notarized. Not at all. Only the Marriage Registeration Certificate is notarized, nothing else is. Don't need to notarize I-130 or any other paper.
And no... you won't need the Tax Returns on filing the Petition. You will need that at the time of your Final Interview.. after you have recieved Packet 4 and have an Appointment with the Consulate. At that time you need to carry the I-864 (Affidavit of Support) with which you need the supporting documents like the 3 years tax returns. So don't need to take them now.
Stay Great,
Mickey

For DCF, Would a arya samaj wedding suffice or would I have to go thru the big wedding ?
Thanks

Get a big wedding for a hassle free DCF. One of the question to us was, how many people were at the wedding? And you need to take pictures to prove that as well.

Big Wedding is always preferable.. but not a must.
Arya Samaj Wedding woud suffice. We had an Arya Samaj Wedding and had about 40-50 people attending the ceremony. There was no problems at all and no concerns about it.
Are you planning a Reception thereafter? It's always good to have a large gathering, it can be in a Reception too.
Why ae you going with K1 if you're going with DCF?
Stay great,
Mickey

Did you hear from the consulate as yet? Any word on the Packet 3 yet?

Nothing so far. When we called, they said it will take a month to month and half for us to recieve packet 3. Wierd, when we were already told by the interviewing officer that it'll take only a week for the approval letter.

Well that's horrible. Doesn't help our cause.
What i found out was that Letter of Approval comes alongwith the Packet 3.. but i was told Packet 3 arrives in about 20 - 25 days from date of petition.
Month or Month & Half is not cool. Well, just got to wait.
I do know that Christmas & New Year's holidays came in between our case... these days the Consulate is closed... so that delays things a bit. But i hope not too much.
Stay great,
Mickey
