Hi
After one year only you can apply from US.
If you don't want to wait apply from India
If the OP was
ADMITTEDto the US for 1 year (doesn't have to live there for a year) s/he can select Buffalo as the processing office. Since the application is supposed to take 6-12 months after being received at the processing office, why would s/he intend to request the file to be transferred?
