Hi All,
This forum and feedback/suggestions from different people has been very helpful. Thanks to all.

I have filed (no lawyer) I-140 under EB1 (EA) category in March 2011 (TSC) and it is still under INITIAL REVIEW. Now I am moving back to India due to family reasons. I need help/suggestions regarding the following:

1. Is it possible to change in my petition from "applying adjustment of status in US" to "applying adjustment of status in India (consular Processing)? If so what forms should I fill/submit? or writing a request letter to USCIS (TSC) explaining my current situation and requesting to change it consular processing is sufficient?

2. I believe I have to change the correspondence address on file with USCIS? If so can I provide one address here in USA and another one India?

3. Any other issues/suggestions/advice in this regard will greatly help me.

I plan to complete these formalities by the end of this month (preferably before 31 July, 2011). I hope you all understand my situation and help me in this regard.

Thanks in advance.

Hi vamsi23,
1.If you would like to do consular processing you must file Form I-824 to have USCIS transfer the file to National Visa Center(NVC) for further processing.
2.Once its consular process your mailing address would be the one in India.Which you should update USCIS with.
3.There would be considerable delay if its consular processing compared to being in US and adjustment of status.
Good luck!
