I-140 approved

I-140 approved on 11/13. Opted for CP in New Delhi.
Any idea what's the different stages and how much time it would take.

Thanks
 
Guys-
All this while i was just focusing on AOS..till i realised that I was not looking at other options.
Here are my details..
I-140 approved 6th November EB3.
Opted for AOS in I-140.

My understanding is that I will have to file I-824 and then the CP process should kick in.

What are the time frames that I should be looking at?. Does 4 months sound reasonable for a Interview at Mumbai?.

Thanks in advance.
 
In the same boat!

Hi,

Here are my details for this thread:

Center : NSC
Category: EB3
PD: 01/29/2001
AD: 11/04/2002

Consulate: Chennai ( Opted at the time of filing the I-140
petition )

Waiting for the approval to reach NIV.

Mine was a LC substitution case. I am really interested to hear
any CP experiences with LC substitution.
 
2 weeks passed after 140 approval

STill case details not reached NVC?????? Friends generally by how many days you get the case info to NVC from INS.

It took us four/five weeks to get the case to NVC from NSC
 
Guys,

What happens if you file for I-824 and the company goes out of business?.

Can someone please explain me the relation between I-824 and I-485 and at when they are valid.

Thanks.

Click to expand...

If your company goes out of business, your immigration petition becomes invalid.

I-824 is filed if you want INS to notify a US consulate to process your case. Typically, you file I-824 if at the time of filing I-140 you specified Adjustment of status as the preferred way to become an immigrant and later you decide to do consular processing.
Or, you file I-485 for adjustment and later decide to do consular processing.
 
Update

Hi,

Today I called NVC and am able to update my details as
following:

I 140
AD : 11/04/2002
NVC RD: 11/12/2002
NVC Case file created: 11/18/2002 ( The lady said Packet 3
has been created, but given the new procedure of sending
the fee bills, I am not sure, but she did give me the file #
MDR 2002 XXXXXX, she also said Attorney will receive them
in 2 to 4 weeks ) By the way she was very nice.

As I said earlier mine was a LC substitution, but I am going
ahead with CP.

You can view my details on cptracker.com

Best of luck to everyone!

What's the next step once I-140 approval is recieved?
Should I wait for something to come from NVC or I have to file something in NVC?
 
What next ??

SPP2000


This is the current procedure now, for the Consular Process.

INS approves the I-140 - I believe you have already crossed this
milestone.
INS sends the approval notices to your attorney and National
Visa Center in Portsmouth, NH.
NVC creates a case file and assigns a case number ( You can
call NVC at # 603-334-0700, give your I-140 Receipt #
and find the status and the new case number )
NVC then sends the Bills for fee to your Attorney.
The Attorney or you send the payment to St. Louise office of
NVC.
St.Louise, collects ( encashes ) the checks. and intimates NVC.
NVC send the Packet 3 to your Attorney.
Your Attorney gets the forms filled by you and sends back the
packet 3.
NVC makes a clerical review of the case and sends it to the
concerned Consulate.
Consulate fixes an appointment date and intimates the
applicant through Packet 4.
Candidate attends the interview.

The time line for these steps varies from case to case. So in
response to your question, other than responding to NVC
you do not have to do anything at this point ( but again, you
do have to work on obtaining all the documents that you have
to put together - refer to any of the forums for the lists )

Good luck!
Raju

I was going thru cptracker. For some cases from INS to CVC takes around one week but some cases it takes 77 days. Why is that !
To find out from NVC regarding my case should I speak to someone there? I tried thru automated voicemail. It says case not found. I dont find any logic regarding the processing time of different stages from case to case.

Any update? Sri-IL...what's going on buddy to your case? Our cases are of similar time.
 
question for CPDelhi

Your process is pretty fast and I am few blocks away from yours. I will appreciate if you could let us know what all the documents(application forms) that packet-3 contains and what else we need to send apart from that.
 
P3 with lawyer

I got this info through my HR rep. As per the HR rep my P3 has arrived with the lawyer. The law firm will do thier part and then send it to me for verification and signatures if needed. Hence I presently don't know the exact contents of the Packet 3.

I will post the info about P3 as soon as I have it.

Thanks.
 
All cases are unique

spp2000,

All cases with INS are as unique as each individual. The info posted on www.cptracker.com or any other website is only for reference purposes. Hence just avoid to draw conclusions from the cases. Use the data on the website only as a guideline to your case.

There will be some cases which take longer depending upon the situation, law, attorney, completion of papers docs, etc, etc, etc....

Hope it helps.

Thanks.
