Called IIO in Dec 2001 asked about CP of I140
IIO said \'officer will request I140 after he/she opens the file\'.
Called NVC to follow up I140 not much help I was told that file is in Chennai Consulate and NVC has on role to play, got the case number.
Sent an e-mail to chennai consulate in third week of Jan 2001 asking them if my 140 was sent to VSC,they promptly replied that they have not any request from vsc.
Called VSC again on 01/25/02 to check my I485 status, nice IIO asked me if I am still at my old address,I explained that I have moved and sent a request for a change of address in aug 2000,She is kind enough to do the change of address over phone, informed me all seems to be OK and case is under review and will hear a decison in 30 days.
