Help!!!! Question 22 on I-130

[thedude6752000 360]

When I submitted my I-130. despite showing it to my useless lawyer, the foreign consulate field for question 22 was filled with "NA." The address in America was also listed as "NA." What should I do? What will this cause to happen with my petition? I will call the USCIS ASAP tomorrow, is there anything to be done???????

While this is technically incorrect, it will not be an issue with your petition.

Really? There are 4 consulates in India and I am almost sure the great patriots at the USCIS won't look up under which jurisdiction Uttar Pradesh falls.

USCIS has nothing to do with routing a file to an Embassy or Consulate. It's the NVC (a State Department agency) that routes files to Embassies or Consulates and they are the ones who will route it to the proper post based on the current address of the beneficiary (which is written at the very start of the I-130 form).

Immigrant visa interviews are only conducted at the Embassy in New Delhi or the Consulate in Mumbai. I don't know what jurisdiction Uttar Pradesh is under but the NVC does. You can the moon or Mars on that form and the file will still end up at the proper location (BTW: I'm not suggesting anyone ever put silly answers like that on the form).

Why did you contract and/or continue to retain the 'useless lawyer'?

Otherwise, if you already have a NOA1 for that I-130, you can call USCIS to correct something in your forms if you think it is important - or wait for an RFE if USCIS considers the missing info to be of great import, and then respond to it. I do remember we called USCIS to correct a typo which had resulted in a wrong d.o.b.

If you do not have a NOA1 for that particular form yet, calling USCIS without a receipt number is more pointless than freely retaining a lawyer and then branding him/her useless.

I had a heck of a time with this, leaving Q22 completely blank.

After I got the approval notice, stating my wife was now eligible to adjust status inside the USA,

my congressional liason human had the whole thing rehomed to NVC.

It was a mess.

I called USCIS 4 or 5 times, talking with an ISO about this stuff, and even have the hard copy on the service request(s ) filed about it. I also covered this with the floor supervisor at 2 seperate infopass appointments, and was told the casefile was going on to NVC.

All of it was BS, for my petition. In the end, what really matters is the adjudicator's input on the casefile, they read Q22 on my petition and did not check anything else.

I was lucky, the casefile was adjudicated at a local office and did not leave the building immediately.

Steps taken in my profile - click the girls under my name, have a read on the fun bits.

Will the fact that I put "NA" for everything make a difference?

As to the lawyer: they are no longer my lawyer, I am not retaining them.

I have gotten the NOA1 email, but they can't seem to get the I-797 to my physical address for some distressing reason. When I call up the line though they can use my receipt number to give me their BS just fine.

Will I possibly get an RFE for this?

Highly unlikely
