why don't we WaitWait until Rajiv come back with suggestions?

I am sure he'll pick up most minor flaws in the petition. As to 19 or 20 months, I'd say leave it as is.

Version 3.1 corrected

I have made some corrections, as pointed by dengdeng. I really don't know if we have to confuse Rajiv with so many corrected copies, but if he is following this thread, then here is the corrected copy. ( Rajiv's team will correct it in anyway)
 
Dengdeng

Among your suggestions, i have omitted those that i found are not appropriate or not required .
1. "we request you" is better than "we would like to request you" because "would like to request" indicates an intension to request which is not the case.
2. "kindly" is enough. "please kindly" is too much.
3. Other sentence formations are OK in American English.
 
dsatish, should we ask BCIS to issue a new "standard operating procedure". If we have
the document, we can tell how security check, second fp, approvals, RFE are processed
