Hi Abhi,
Thanks for the reply.
So does it mean it is faster to apply in Buffalo rather than India ?

Also in case they ask for interview - Can i attend it in India if I apply in Buffalo ?

thanks,
Sk

No, it means that Buffalo is the only office that processes CEC applications.

If you apply before you return to India, you must submit the application to Buffalo. If you apply AFTER you return to India, you will submit the application to ND, but they will forward the application to Buffalo.

If you are called for an interview, it will be in Buffalo or one of the other visa offices in the USA.

It IS possible that if you wait and submit to ND, you might shave a month or two off the time until you receive your AOR (Acknowledgement of Receipt). But since you lose time by waiting until you return, it's a wash.

Just submit your application to Buffalo as soon as you qualify. Ensure your email address is correct, and one that you will keep when you return to India. And remember to submit a change of address to Buffalo if/when you move.
