Going for IR1 - I 130 approved at CSC (and I 129F still at VSC)

[ssgrip 0]

I just had the I 130 approved (YES!!!) at the CSC. My I 129F is at VSC still pending. We want to go for IR1/CR1. How do I know if the I 130 will be sent on its own to NVC, or if I need to send the $200 to get it sent there?

Thank you.

Since the I-130 was approved first, it should be sent to NVC first and therefore no need for the I-824 and $200 fee. You won't know for sure until one or the other happens though I believe.

That's right. Give it a couple weeks and then start calling NVC to see if they have it. Since your petitions were at different service centers, it is likely they will proceed separately.

How long ago was your I130 approved (please update your timeline). Since your I129F is not yet approved, your I130 will be sent to NVC. You can start calling NVC to check if they have your I130 yet.
