i have an update on my case.
finally rcvd all fee receipts from NVC on 10/22/2004. fees sent to STL on 10/25/2004. updated my record on cptracker.com.
srinivas,
technically, u shud go to the consulate under whose jurisdiction u reside in. am not sure how u got ur visa issued at Mumbai but am assuming the consulate did their due diligence (not always the case) b4 issuing a visa at Mumbai. having said that, they have also set a precedent for ur case as u can claim to be in their jurisdiction now. where does this put ur CP case? my best answer wud be to email both consualtes and see what they say?
Parytx, My H1B was issued from Mumbai since at that time I was residing in that region. My company opened a development center in bangalore and since last two years I am in bangalore and also had my passport renewed in bangalore and a B1 visa from chennai consulate. My guess is, since I submitted my old passport copies with I140 application, which had the H1 stamp from Mumbai, may be the reason for overlooking the fact that I am residing in the Bangalore which falls under Chennai and put my case for Mumbai. My lawyer had emailed to chennai consulate, they sent a form DS-3098 to filled and sent to the consulate. This is a request form to transfer the case from one consulate to other. One thing I am not sure is whether chennai consulate will send the request to Mumbai or NVC. To me it looks like this will delay the process, so I am considering not to put in any request for change and just stick to Mumbai... Any updates on your request to NVC?

in my case, there is no stamp ever from Chennai us consulate. we clearly indicated Mumbai as the consulate and all my past stamps in PP are from Mumbai. so in my case, IMHO, its just a gross oversight and need to get it corrected. altho can anyone shed on any light by when this needs to occur. ie, before sending in P3 or it doesnt matter?
naveenav,
in my case, NVC created a fe bill receipt on 10/4/04 and we received it on 10/22/204. we are in TX (dont know if it matters). good luck.
