Hi Senior members and anyone,
I am in US for the past more than 6 years working on H1B. I am an Indian national along with my wife. My son was born in US and is a US citizen.
Below is how I think I screwed up:
1. I applied to NovaScotia Provincial NomineeProgram 2014 (without job offer). I had applied early enough but I had missed putting in the Visa office where I wanted my application to be processed in IM0008 (Q4). So I was contacted by an Officer and she asked me which visa office do I want to process my application.
2. My job situation is sort of ok but we never know when lightening can strike, so to be on safer side I filed "New Delhi" as my Visa office. A few days back the nomination paper arrived in email mentioning that my visa office is New Delhi.
3. Recently, I was reading some forums (specifically Reply #1095 on
Re: FSW 2014 Applicants Timeline- Lets Network Here. ) where one of the members (ashif_eee) mentioned that "Brother first of all since u r in US over one yr then as per rule ur VISA OFFICE will be CPC-OTTAWA not NY or in US VO...".
4. I did some more search and found that on CIC website that english/DEPARTMENT/media/notices/notice-buffalo.asp where it says:
"If you are an American or national of another country currently residing in the U.S. or Canada and want to submit a permanent resident application:Economic Class applications must first be sent to the Centralized Intake Office in Sydney, Nova Scotia, Canada (CIO-S).... Applications that have been screened for positive eligibility will be sent directly to CIO-S or CPC-O for further processing. Applicants should indicate “CPC-O” as the processing office where indicated in their application."
5. I have NOT send the federal application to CIC-Sydney office. Can I change the Visa office to CIS-Ottawa in the IMM008 (Q4). This would be inconsistent with the information on nomination paper from Nova scotia.
6. I am ok keeping the visa office as New Delhi if this is as per the rule. But, do I have to travel to New Delhi for the medical or interviews ? (or can I get the medicals done locally in US? How are the medical reports sent to the Visa office? (fax/email or some other mechanism?) Sorry I am completely new to all this.
7. I read that we will have to send passports etc. Do we have to send the passport to the choosen Visa office or can I get it done locally. I am ok travelling to INdia (rather than sending passport by post to New Delhi).
please help me (if possible to all the questions)
God bless you!
Thanks,
