Dear Elvis:
You can always email me at umeshpassi@yahoo.com. I have researched about this and reacently, I was in India and discussed with the INS office in the US Embassy. The information I provided you, is what I was told by them. Since US Embassy also has a INS office for INS approval where a caseload is less that at Service Centers in U.S.A. Then the INS there forwards the file to the Immigrant Visa Section which is under State Department, as such the delays at processing center here and then at NVC are avoided. If an IR petition takes 8 - 10 months, when we file in the USA, it just takes more than a month for approval there, which saves months before the IR comes to the United States as an LPR.
