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.

Hi cpDelhi !

I bet the letter you received from NVC after your case was created will not be P3, it will be a letter asking a confirmation that you really are going for CP. You have a long way to go as per the new CP procedure. You are looking at atleast 2 months (from now), to receive your P3 from NVC.

Hope that helps.
 
Thanks for raising the flag

hate_tsc,

Thanks a lot for raisingthe flag about the current status of my CP application after 1-140 approval stage. Since I have to go through HR to get answers from my Lawyer there is a layer of possible miscommunication. ANd this is exactly what happened.

My Lawyer paralegal told that the law firm received the request to pay the fees for Packet 3. My HR rep took it as that the law firm received the Packet 3 for my case. Hence the confusion.

My company HR policices don't allow us to have direct communication with the law firm. I will be more diligent in future while posting stuff/info on the web.

Thanks.
 
Update on Fee bills

Fee bills received!

Here is the latest update on my case:

11/26/02 - My attorney has received the bills for fee.

That was 8 days from the day the case file was created at NVC.
Check above for other timeline.
 
My case was created at NVC on 11/26

Maybe THEY GOT THE 140 Info a few days back. So It took 3 weeks from 140 approval to NVC R/d(11/05 to 11/26).

So, next step starts.......

Cheers Spp2000.u will join us soon.

At last my attorney received the fee bills from NVC.
My I 140 ( EB1 ) was approved on 23 / 8 / 02 from CSC center.

Friends,

My consulate is Chennai. Today I mailed the Cashier's check to
my attorney.My details are in cptracker too!. However the spread sheet does not contain the necessary columns for the new
steps.

I requested the administrator to look at this issue, but so far
I have not received any response. We will wait and see.

Good luck!

MO got cleared

It took exactly two weeks to get the checks cleared by St. Louis.
Waiting for the packet-3 from NVC.
So far my attorney did excellent job. :cool:
 
Case created

Thanks SriIL.

I just called NVC and found out that the cas has been created on 11/26. The gentleman gave the case no. They have not sent anything yet to the atorney.
 
Case Status

How can I know the case status from NVC ? Can it be thru AVM or only thru an operator? Thru AVM it says case not found this time...

Have anyone tried thru AVM of NVC?

Is not NVC slower than INS ?
 
Case status

I had the same response from the AVM at NVC.

I am not too keen about speaking with an operator
very often.

I am taking it easy.
 
Any comment ??

A question ??
OK Guys!

Help me out. The way my place of birth is spelt is different between the Passport and the Non-availability that I got now.

To be specific:

My passport says : Sitanagaram

Non-availability : Seetanagaram

I know that this is very common in India, how some words are spelt differently, the meaning being the same.

How do I explain this to the Consulate (Chennai )??

One more question:

Since I have the choice now, how should I spell this in the
afffidavits that I am going to get from my parents ??


Am I being paranoid ??


Thanks in advance.

Go by what your passport says and use that spelling in your DS-230 forms and affidavits. You should be OK, Consulates officials are well aware of these things.

RELAX!!
 
Joining the thread

I140 Approved ND :12/3/02 TSC/RIR - EB2 Application was for AOS
PD : 04/18/02
RD : 5/16/02.
-should be Mumbai consulate

The only question I have is whether I can file for CP thru attorney certified AC140? And Is there some kind of a hardship we have to prove so that we can file for CP thru AC140? If so what?

Also, Are there Plus/Minuses of CP through AC140 over CP through National service center? I have a major concern, If my application at the Mumbai consulate is rejected then what recourse do I have, Can I file 485 then.

Thanks,
AJ
 
If no CP then nothing

Aj,

I can only answer one of your question.

Q: I have a major concern, If my application at the Mumbai consulate is rejected then what recourse do I have, Can I file 485 then.

Answer: If your Consular Processing is rejected by the visa officer you cannot file AOS (I-485). I-485 is filed when you are in US when your GC applicationis processing. Since an individual has choosen CP, the individual needs to go to the consulate office in his/her home country for final proceesing of GC. As soon as visa officer in the US consulate outside US gets your application, you lose all/any US visa held by you. So just in case the visa officer rejects your CP application, you have no choice but to stay in India. US embassy in New Delhi website list of possible reject causes in FAQ section.

Thanks.
 
I beg to differ...

AJ and CPDelhi,
If you go for CP, your non immigrant visa is not automatically cancelled. If you get your GC stamp, then the H1 is cancelled so as to avoid errors at the point of entry-to make sure you enter with the greencard. As all the processing is done beforehand, all you need is proper documentation. If you need to come back to USA to procure a document, and your visa has expired, you may be able to get a non immigrant visa at the embassy's discretion. However, if you have committed a felony or one of the other reasons for rejection, you may not be allowed back to the USA. That is no different from AOS-as you will be rejected here as well.
