stpr Posted February 20, 2014 Author Report Share Posted February 20, 2014 Hi Jairichi, The upper part of Question 2 is TRUE. So, its understood that its OR section is not applicable. Should I leave the OR section of Question 2 blank, or put a dash or put NO. Link to comment

Should I leave the OR section of Question 2 blank, or put a dash or put NO. If you have not taken any loan or scholarship under government scheme your answer for the lower part of 2nd question has to be "not applicable" Link to comment
stpr Posted February 22, 2014 Author Report Share Posted February 22, 2014 What if I write NO in place of Not applicable? Link to comment
jairichi Posted February 22, 2014 Report Share Posted February 22, 2014 What if I write NO in place of Not applicable? Since you never took a loan or scholarship the appropriate answer would be NOT APPLICABLE or NA. Even if you answer NO it is not going to affect anything. Link to comment

stpr Posted February 23, 2014 Author Report Share Posted February 23, 2014 I came to USA on J1 exchange visitor visa (J1 Research Scholar). What should I mention for the following question in the Statement form? "Please indicate below the name of the scheme under which you proceeded abroad" Link to comment
Nabil2008 Posted February 25, 2014 Report Share Posted February 25, 2014 On the Affidavit portion of this form, for the question- "I came to the United States of America under an exchange visitor visa for the period from _______ to _______" (The words are based on the affidavit form obtained from the CGI NYC website) Should one use the dates stated on the DS-2019 ? Or is it sufficient to have a start date (per the DS-2019 and the end date being "Present" Link to comment
Nabil2008 Posted February 26, 2014 Report Share Posted February 26, 2014 I am in a similar situation in that I am unsure what to put down in that same space- "Please indicate below the name of the scheme under which you proceeded abroad" (This is on the Bio-Data Form required by the respective CGI Offices; It is located at the bottom of that form just prior to the signatures) I am currently a J-1 Research Scholar (since 2012). That said, I have been here in the US for my B.A. (2003-2007) (under an F-1 Status) and my Ph.D. (2007-2011) (also under a new F-1 Status). If someone could address this question in tandem as stpr's (see above) I would be grateful. Thank you !! Link to comment

Nabil2008 Posted February 26, 2014 Report Share Posted February 26, 2014 @Jairichi: In response to your last message: "Have a cover letter and attach a copy of all your degree transcripts, certificates, passport, visa, DS2019, I94." Is it ok if the J-1 Visa stamp in the passport is expired ? That said, I have an updated DS-2019 for the new year (Jan 2014 through Jan 2015). I haven't returned to India since I got my J-1 stamp (Jan 2012) which expired in Jan 2013 and hence the expired stamp. Link to comment
stpr Posted February 26, 2014 Author Report Share Posted February 26, 2014 Hi Jairichi, What do you mean by certificates? Is it Degree's or Mark sheets? What about marriage certificate? Also, should I need to enclose my current CV? Link to comment

Not required. But, better to get it attested by a notary. You can check with your bank and they normally do it for free. Link to comment

maddy86 Posted September 23, 2016 Report Share Posted September 23, 2016 Do we need to draft the Biodata and Affidavit forms available in the Indian consulate website on to a different paper so that the headings, such as "Four copies of this form are to be completed for "No Obligation to Return to India"Certificate," are deleted? I have just taken the printout and filled the form and got it notarized with the above heading on all the four copies. Is it fine? Link to comment
