Hi:

Based on my GC status, I applied last month for I-824 for my wife (derivative of my employment based GC approval) ) who is now in India, It is approved this month & I received (so quick!) the I-797 approval notice from USCIS saying notification has been sent to Chennai (India) consulate.

 

I have 2 queries-

 

1) What exactly should I do as the next immediate step?

 

2) Chennai (India) consulate web site says they no longer process immigrant visas as they are now handled only at US Embassy Delhi & Bombay US consulate. 

I was not aware of this when I applied for I-824 where I requested for intimation to Chennai and so USCIS did notify to Chennai consulate of the I-824 approval.

What should I do now in this case??

 

Please help me on getting the right suggestions or answers to my above queries. Thanks in advance!

Hi, my I-824 was approved by Nebraska Service Center as that is where my I-485 was earlier processed.. I-824 Notice Date was May 26, 2015 and approved date is June 5, 2015.

 

I am trying to figure out what should I do next.. They have notified the approval to Chennai consulate whereas IV ae now handled only in Mumbai or Delhi...

Hi vnellai,

 

I am in a similar position to you. I recently got approved, June 24. I have not recd approval notice. Mine was also processed at Nebraska center. Based on your answer and went and checked, and found that Chennai consulate is not approving immigrant visas. I wanted to get my wife and son on follow to join.

 

Can you please let me know what you did to rectify the issue.
