[safdar12]

Hi Popat,

Thank you for sharing the info. It will surely help others. By God's grace We got our visa stamped ( 2 of my daughters were CSPA). I am thankful to everyone in this forum who shared their experiences and helped each other. God bless you all and keep us in your prayers.

Hi kotha
I emailed you when you get the time please reply to me

Candidate 1:

"CSPA Candidate's name was not included in Welcome Letter. NVC was requested to include him and NVC included his name. Fees was paid, DS-260 and documents were submitted. Candidate including entire family awaited for visa interview and meanwhile candidate crossed 21 CSPA age. Finally interview was scheduled and candidate's name was included in IL (I was surprised to see candidate's name in IL).

On Interview day, Visa officer calculated CSPA age and DID NOT ISSUE VISA to CSPA candidate while entire family got visa. Candidate will be the only left out person in India, once family move to US."


Candidate 2:

"On different petition, Candidate's name was not included in Welcome Letter. They contacted some immigration lawyers based in India and Lawyer said no need to worry, beneficiary can request to add candidate's name once interview is scheduled. Once Interview was scheduled, CSPA candidate's name was not there (obviously) and then beneficiary tried to contact US embassy to include candidate's name. I am not sure whether they received any reply from embassy or not.

On the interview day, After entering the embassy, Primary beneficiary requested that they have only one person left out in the petition and embassy asked them to bring in the CSPA candidate (she was waiting outside the embassy, even her name was not in IL. embassy asked family to bring her in) CSPA candidate entered the embassy and candidate was asked to pay IV fees and submit DS-260 forms and come back with documents and forms in 1-2 hours. Embassy also took finger print of CSPA candidate. Finally interview started, Visa officer calculated CSPA age and said candidate is not eligible for visa. Well, I calculated candidate's CSPA age which was just 21 years and 20 days CSPA age. Candidate was just 20 days over 21 CSPA and visa officer DID NOT ISSUE VISA to the candidate. Again, Candidate will be the only left out person in India, once family move to US."


I hope this helps to everyone.

Very good analysis Popat...
I'm waiting for the welcome letter.

[Popat]

Well there is still room for more numbers here. I am surprised to see 2 week movement at this point.

I could see the other reason for DoS to slow it down. Lets put it this way, if there will be more delay in sending out welcome letter for people after 22JUN04, PD movement could slowdown remaining FY 2018. If that happens, India F overall numbers would be lesser in FY 2018 than previous years.

We will not see PD movement more than 2-3 weeks/month for remaining FY 2018. 3 weeks would be best movement and 2 weeks to slow it down. Worst case, we could see 1 week movement despite having numbers available (towards the end of FY).

Just clarification, India F4 Numbers available at this point means spillover from other F India category.

@popat,

Only 2 weeks movement suggests that quota are getting full for F-4 India? Any predication on the trend?

April visa bulletin is available. F-4 India movement is up to 15 February 2004.
