Just a little update on my case.

I received the hard copy of my approval notice today and I got confused about this paragraph stating that:

If the person for whom you are petitioning decides to apply for an immigrant visa outside the United States based on this petition, the petitioner should file I-824, Application for Action on an Approved Application or Petition, to request that we send the petition to the Department of State National Visa Center (NVC).

So I was on the phone with USCIS tier-2 officer and found that out that for question 22 on my I-130 form, I put "N/A" instead of stating the American consular post in Paris, France. So the officer has filed a request to CSC to have my case sent to NVC but if CSC turned down the request, I would need to file I-824(plus a few hundred bucks out of my pocket) myself to have my case forwarded to NVC. The officer isn't even sure about the processing time for I-824... I feel so dumb!!! :crying::cry:
