I 797 confusion

[Rose13 30]

My husband just received the I-797 and we're so confused. It first states that the petition indicates that the person for whom he's petitioning for is IN in the USA and not eligible to file for an adjustment of status. But I'm NOT living in the USA. Then it states that I should file form I-824. What gives?? Help! What do we do next?

I forgot to add that the letter states that if I am applying out of the USA I have file I-824 and ask for my file to be sent to the NVC. What gives???

your husband needs to call the number for USCIS on that notice and ask to speak to a tier 2 human. Good luck

Double check your I-130 paperwork. Did you tick the wrong box somewhere by accident to give them the wrong idea? Either way I agree that you need to call them. Good luck!

Hi Folks,

Just an update on my I130 drama. As I reported previously we received the the I-797 and there seemed to be some confusion on the part of USIS on whether I was living in the USA at this moment (I'm not). Then the letter advised us to file form I-824. I took the advice I got on this forum and my hubby called USIS. Long story short, it turned out to be a "clerical error" on their part, their words, not mine The y emailed us that our file was sent to NVC. My hubby called NVC (and actually got through ). Our case has indeed been transferred!!! We should get a case number in a week to 10 days. Thanks everyone

I'm living in Egypt with my wife. I did the I-30 and sent it out to my dad and he then sent it to the phoenix. I got the email today that they accepted the application. I put in the application an extra paper stating I live in Egypt and that if anything needs to be sent out, needs to be sent to Egypt

My question is what are they going to do? Do they send it out to Egypt?

Please start your own thread.
