AC-140 can be done only for extreme hardship reasons right. What were some of the reasons told to get this. I would appreciate if anyone could help me out.
question to pttx01 or others
- Thread starter Ganesh Ranganathan
- Start date
vvm1,
I have opted for AOS at the time of I-140, now looking at the time frames for AOS, AC-140 looks more lucrative.
This is my understanding of the sequence of events that needs to be done for AC-140, please correct me if im wrong.
1. File I-824.
2. With the I-824 receipt, send the packet3 information to the consulate. (Mumbai)
3. From the post that i have read, Mumbai does accept AC-140 application. Now the question is what happens if they refuse it?.
Can we revert back to AOS?. Or would it be a good idea not to file for AOS and just file for I-824 and wait and watch.
Once the consulate receives the I-824 receipt along with the I-140 information, how long does it take for the intervire date?. Would 4 months be an optimistic target?.
Thanks.

As long as you have at least one previous visa issued from Mumbai, they will not refuse it, you don't even need to provide any "hardship' reason.
Can we revert back to AOS?. Or would it be a good idea not to file for AOS and just fill for I-824 and wait and watch.
Don't file the AOS. Waste of time and good money. I made this mistake. Just do the 824 and the AC140
Once the consulate receives the I-824 receipt along with the I-140 information, how long does it take for the intervire date?. Would 4 months be an optimistic target?.
4 months would be a pessimistic target. The consulate received my papers on Sept 3. Oct 28 was my interview.
Good luck
Thanks.
