    Packet 4 not yet arrived. Has anyone\'s relatives recently picked packet 4 from Mumbai embassy

    Embassy did not say the same thing to us. You are right, they should update their web site. But funnily enough they have not said anything like what the Delhi embassy told your father to the person who went there for me. They just said that I can collect in person the packet 4 when I reach...

    E-mail response from CGNY I just got response from CGNY that they will need 35 days for Police Certificate even for passport issued by their office. I am not sure this is just official required time and in reality it may be 1 day or so. But this is certainly official response.

    What a difficult category NIW is!

    No I didnot. Once we sent them the package and they generate the case, I believe it is their property. Offcourse I do have all duplicate paperwork for record, that I sent to them when originally filed. I just made a one line request some thing similar to: "This is to request you that...

    What a difficult category NIW is!

    NIW is actually more difficult. If one has accurate qualification for EB1,one should go for it as it doesn\'t need to prove much but for NIW regardless qualification it is big pain to prove how job condition should be waived. Just one suggestion to you from what I spoke with IIO VSC. I had...

    self petition vs petition by company

    Significant time you can save with this easy process. If your case is straightforward, then from my experience as well as what I saw of others, I can say that CP is easier and quicker compare to AOS. In AOS you need to file I485. Then once you receive receipt, depending on the INS field...
