No Title
From what I have seen and gathered, once all the pre-processing is done in
a case, a visa no. is requested from state dept. and once that is obtained the case
is approved.
Now in the case of CP\'s the consulates claim that the state dept takes around 6-7 weeks
to reply to their request for Visa no. (that is the reason it takes about 2 months to get Interviews
once all the paper work(pkt 3) is done).
In case of local INS\'s what I have read here is that the interviewer would just go inside the office
to get a visa no. and be back in a few minutes.
Now what I don\'t understand is how does this happen in case of Service centers.
Where do they request the Visa nos. Is it from State dept. That would explain about 60 days of delay
in approval, once everything else is ready. And where from does the Local INS get the Visa nos from.
Is it done on a case by case basis, or is it a batch job sort of thing.
Any body got any clues.
