Thank you Diana,
I have also paid Fees for AOS ($80.00). Do you think NVC would send anything to India?
Since i am in USA, is there any shortcut that i can consider to expedite the procedure? I have read some of the forums and they were referencing to received AOS package also. I havn't received anything like that.
What would be next and howmuch time it would take since the petitioner is permanent resident?
Thank you again.
Yes, absolutely. The NVC will definitely be sending your completed case to India so your spouse can interview with the embassy.
I'm not sure if being a permanent resident matters at the NVC, I'm thinking that it doesn't since you already waited at the USCIS to have the I-130 approved. Maybe the NVC will have a better answer for you but again, I don't think it matters.
The shortcuts you can follow are in the first thread called Time Savers, please read pages 1, 10 & 11 to familiarize yourself with the process and the shorcuts. You might also be able to get a IIN from the NVC so you can pay your IV bill online and print out the DS-230 coversheet which could save you 2-4 weeks of waiting time.
