The U.S. Consulate General in Chennai will no longer process Immigrant Visa petitions as of January 1, 2012. The U.S. Embassy in New Delhi and U.S. Consulate in Mumbai will become the only acceptance centers in India for Immigrant Visas. The Immigrant Visa allows an individual to live and work in the United States on a permanent basis, as well as provides the immigrant the opportunity to work towards U.S. citizenship.
Regarding my parents' immigrant Visa through consular processing at New Delhi I would like to thank the team at Atty Khanna's office. We filed in July 2009, and got it in May 2011. During the process there were many challenges, the department requested a few documents over and over again, and sent their papers to Lahore consulate (they were born in Lahore, undivided India). Each challenge was met and finally the got the permamnent Visa. I wish to thank Prernaji, Atty Chacko and the rest of the Team at Law offices of Rajiv S. Khanna. Without their support and guidance, it would not be possible for me to get this done on my own. Thanks again.
