Updated 01/12/2002: Bad News for NVC IV Applicants (Chennai Post)
We reported yesterday the problem of nonimmigrant visa revalidation problem as affected by the Anthrax decontamination.
Now, DOS has released information to the AILA that the people who applied for immigrant visas, both family-based and employment-based, are stuck in the anthrax decontamination problem. Unlike other consulates, the American Consulate in Chennai does not process any immigrant visa applications unless the original approval notice of I-130 or I-140 and files are forwarded to the consulate directly by the National Visa Center. These documents are forwarded by NVC to the consulates via diplomatic pouch through the DOS Postal Station, but as reported yesterday, 100,000 mails in the DOS postal station are stuck for the anthrax decontamination. This included over 2,000 diplomatic pouches that needed to go the U.S.diplomatic missions!
Since Chennai requires "original" I-797 I-130 or I-140 approval notices, currently the immigrant visa applicants in Chennai jurisdiction are completely stuck. Reportedly, the NVC has printed their records and is sending them to Chennai via DHL. However, since Chennai requires "original" I-797, the IV applicants are stuck.
Following is the list of NVC IV cases for Chennai post which are stuck. Unless Chennai changes its policy, the people on this list may have to come up with another "original" I-797 and the attorney certified copies of I-130 or I-140 petition and supporting documentation.

Updated 01/12/2002: Bad News for NVC IV Applicants (Chennai Post)
We reported yesterday the problem of nonimmigrant visa revalidation problem as affected by the Anthrax decontamination.
Now, DOS has released information to the AILA that the people who applied for immigrant visas, both family-based and employment-based, are stuck in the anthrax decontamination problem. Unlike other consulates, the American Consulate in Chennai does not process any immigrant visa applications unless the original approval notice of I-130 or I-140 and files are forwarded to the consulate directly by the National Visa Center. These documents are forwarded by NVC to the consulates via diplomatic pouch through the DOS Postal Station, but as reported yesterday, 100,000 mails in the DOS postal station are stuck for the anthrax decontamination. This included over 2,000 diplomatic pouches that needed to go the U.S.diplomatic missions!
Since Chennai requires "original" I-797 I-130 or I-140 approval notices, currently the immigrant visa applicants in Chennai jurisdiction are completely stuck. Reportedly, the NVC has printed their records and is sending them to Chennai via DHL. However, since Chennai requires "original" I-797, the IV applicants are stuck.
Following is the list of NVC IV cases for Chennai post which are stuck. Unless Chennai changes its policy, the people on this list may have to come up with another "original" I-797 and the attorney certified copies of I-130 or I-140 petition and supporting documentation.
