Hi krishna,
When did you file for I-824 and when was your packet 3 sent to the Chennai consulate. I had a e-mail exchange with them last week and i asked them whether they are accepting attorney certified 140. They did not give a straight reply.
I was wondering if you had any e-mail exchanges with the chennai consulate.
Do you know how long is it taking for I-824 to get cleared currently.

I am in the same boat as u
Based on chennai website we applied . They returned based on case load.
Based on sep 2000 cable , I am trying to go to other consulates in India with the local congressman\'s help. I would like to talk to you offline to talk about other possibilities .

FYI..a snippet from Murthy\'s website..
Change From Adjustment of Status to Consular Processing
A procedure established in September 2000, which was outlined in a cable from DOS, directs that posts process immigrant visas based upon the I-140 (Petition for Alien Worker) Approval notice, the I-824 (Application for Action on Approved Petition) receipt, and Packet III forms sent directly to the consulate. We asked the consulate whether they were following this procedure with respect to processing immigrant visas for persons who change from the Adjustment of Status to Consular Processing. Chennai does not use this procedure.
The consulate indicated that it would consider all such matters on a case-by-case basis, based primarily on workload. The consular officers who met Attorney Murthy at Chennai on March 15, 2002 informed her that, in principle, they could agree to review and issue immigrant visa appointment dates based on the DOS September 2000 cable. Their concern, however, is that other junior consular officers may not be comfortable without the original file from the INS or the NVC. They stated that they might be able to implement this procedure for EB-1 (Employment, first preference) applicants, but could not implement it for all employment categories due to a 500% growth in the employment-based caseload over the past year. Presumably, this increase is due to the INS\' taking so long for the I-485 approvals for adjustment of status within the U.S. This has caused consular processing to become increasingly popular. Additionally, the "current" status of all priority dates in the EB-3 (Employment, third preference) category that had previously been backlogged has added to the increase in their workload.
