Quebec Selected Skilled worker - H1B

[appidisr]

Hi Guys - I searched the forum but didn't find any information about question I have, here is my question:

I am planning to apply for this program on Jan 18th 2016 where they are accepting 2800 applications from skilled workers. So I started looking at processing times which their website states that processing time varies by country of residence. Check below note:

Procedure

To find out the processing times for each step, select the country or territory where you legally reside (the one you indicated in your application for a Certificate de sélection du Québec):

I am from India holding H1B visa working in USA since past 5 years, so what will be my country of residence, will it be US or India on my application?

For united states:

Verification of documents - Immediate
Preliminary review - 1-3 months
Selection Review - 1-9 months

Whereas for India:

Verification of documents - 37 months
Preliminary review - 1-3 months
Selection Review - 1-9 months

Thanks guys in advance for your valuable time and answers!

You don't have a PR in the US - you are an India citizen, who is temporally residing in the US.

In my view, they would not classify you as a US citizen/permanent resident.
