Get ready for the rain of COA this week............Oct-Nov 2002 cases will start receiving COA from today onwards................... Good Luck folks.......

oops......sorry......... today it's Washington’s Birthday, and so it's Federal Holiday in USA.... NVC won't be working today........ We will need to wait for 24 hours more for COA.

More than the rain..it is the snow right now... ...Every Change comes with a Holiday...

Good Luck

How you came to know about this ?? Did you receive any email from NVC ?? Or did you check your case status online on Ceac website ?? If yes, then what's the case status on Ceac website ?? "in transit" or "ready" ??

Is this an indication of 2 months movement next month ?? Or an indication of upcoming Obama's executive actions ??

If this is true, then its a big news for us.................because according to my knowledge, NVC sends all your documents to the corresponding embassy/consulate only when your interview has been scheduled or is going to be scheduled very soon. May be i am wrong, not sure...

Zhang San...Why do u want to jump to conclusions.. ..Just wait and Watch..

Good Luck

...........The USCIS component of the DHS should be least affected during the threatened DHS shut-down because the USCIS is not running on federal tax money but users' filing fee funds. Still, its functions can be negatively affected in one way or another. One unanswered question is the DHS regulatory management office. On the surface, this function may not be considered a function of high security and it is not certain whether this functin will remain opened during the shut-down...

Good Luck

Those who received COA (october, november, december) those are who are above 21 have their names included in the ceac webiste, What could be the meaning of this.?

[soroure 1]

This is what it says when I enter the case number, and invoice number.

Summary Information

Please be advised that the case that you have attempted to access is not eligible for further processing by the National Visa Center at this time. Please contact the National Visa Center if you believe that you have received this message in error.

I believe it will show later on, since today was a holiday.

If you are looking for an answer wrt CSPA...then it all depends on when the petition was approved by USCIS..

Good Luck

Visa Grant,You're right I haven't even received the I/L yet

So, NVC is busy and does not want to "Date You"..

Good Luck

November 2002 PD cases have submitted COA today but one of my friends whose PD is OCT 2002 has not yet received COA and when he checks his COA status online, this message is displayed : "The case that you are trying to access is not yet eligible for further processing by NVC". Is there anyone else on this forum whose PD is OCT 2002 but his COA is not yet available on Ceac website and getting the above message ?????

Hi Visa Grant,

Hope you will help me out with this confusion. I was looking out for some info on future proceedings of consular processing and found that an applicant needs to gather required civil documents and I have found this link where its all given in detail on the country basis: http://travel.state.gov/content/visas/english/fees/reciprocity-by-country/IN.html

What it seems to me that I need to obtain Birth Certificate & Police Records only.

In my understanding I need to obtain following 2 certificates under Police records:

1. Police Clearance Certificate from Passport authority.

2. Police Clearance Certificate from Local Police Station. (I am not sure about this one)

I am confused with this because on this above given link where they have explained in detail about the required documents of India. Under the Police Records header, its written as:

Police Records

Indian Police Clearance Certificates should be obtained as follows:

• All Indian nationals aged 16 and above, residing in India, should obtain police clearance certificates from the Regional Passport Office.
• Indian passport holders residing outside India should obtain a statement from their local Indian Embassy, Consulate, High Commission, or Deputy High Commission confirming they have no criminal record.
• Non-Indian applicants residing in India who are registered with the Foreigner Regional Registration Office (FRRO) should obtain police certificates from the FRRO serving their area of residence.
• Non-Indian applicants residing in India who are not registered with the FRRO, such as foreigners holding Overseas Citizen of India status, should obtain police clearance certificates from the District Police Station serving their area of residence.
• Indian police certificates are not available for foreign (non-Indian) applicants residing outside India.

But, on this particular page it says entirely a different thing:
