Hi guys ...

So i took a flight in the early morning to Mumbai today and was in front of the consulate before 8am. The VFS guy (With a serious attitude) was sending applicants inside for their interview. I went and explained my situation. He was like wait until 8am and then come to me, I'll find out. So at 8am, i went up to him, the vfs guy on his walkie-talkie called some VFS OR Consulate guy (definitely Indian) inside and explained my situation. The guy from inside said that i (the applicant) should go to the VFS and submit the documents and passport again to get the Envelope Resealed.

I tried convince the vfs guy outside for atleast 10 mins, but in vain. So The US Consulates in India work with VFS only...Do Not go to the Consulate directly. I was prepared for anything which is the reason i went to the consulate...thought of taking a risk. I wasted my money but that's ok. No regrets.

So i went to the VFS application center at Tirupati Apts,opp Mahalaxmi Temple. I explained my situation of opening the sealed package, the guy over there went to his superior and came back.

He said Sir,you didn't take any documents out, did you?...i said No i didn't, all of them are intact. Ok Sir, just submit the package along with your passport, we'll forward it to the Consulate and you'll receive the Re-sealed Envelope and Passport within 3-4 working days (These were the Golden words for me). That seriously relieved all the pressure i had from 1 day.

So I submitted all the documents and passport, Paid Rs 393 for courier services.I'm just hoping and waiting for the documents to arrive in 3-4 working days. Hope the package will be sent to me as told by the VFS employee. Fingers Crossed

I really thank each and everyone here who took time and helped me out. Visa Journey was so so helpful to me from the start of my Cr1 process.

Moral of the CR1 (Immigrant Visa) process - DO NOT GET OVER EXCITED AND FORGET THE RULES AND REGULATIONS. FOLLOW EVERY SINGLE RULE TO THE LAST MOMENT. DO NOT COMMIT A MISTAKE AS STUPID AS MINE.

Thanks Guys...Once i get my passport and sealed envelope ..I'll update it again...
