My attorney is getting the papers together for applying Ac 140 at new delhi. She needs some ideas for the letter of hardship. I am in the sixth year of H1b. it expires in eight months time. Would that be a good one. Anyone.. any ideas?
Answer: Reason for hardship could be AOS is taking a long time more than 2 years and is likely to grow. You can complement that reason with 2 H-1B expiring in next 8 months (this reason in isolation will not be good enough coz you can get 1 years extensions beyond 6 years).
If I have two options of filing for Ac 140 one at chennai and the other New delhi. Which one would be faster to get an interview? My lawyer had sent an email to both the consulates asking whether they would accept my case. They both have agreed. I was wondering whether chennai consulate woulde faster or New delhi?
Answer: Chennai does not accept AC I-140 cases. So I guess New Delhi is your best & the only option! I am sure if all papers are intact and as expected then ND will accept your case. If for some reason ND does not accept then your lawyer can definitely try Mumbai which surely will accept. Bbay is known to accept cases from ND and Chennai and even in some cases from outside the country!
