How to file I824

[BasitFionaAli 37]

I filed an I824 but it was sent back to me claiming I didn't sign it when I did. I hired a lawyer to finish the rest of my case since I already made so many mistakes and am now paying for it by being separated from my husband longer. It's been two weeks and I haven't heard anything from my lawyer. So I was wondering if anyone knew how to file an I824 in case I need to file it myself if I have hired a dud laywer. All I need is my approved I130 transferred to NVC and I don't understand why this is so hard or what I'm not understanding for filling out this small form and am currently in tears 😭

Just checking do you mean I-824 or I-864? It’s two different forms…

I824

What is the reason for the I824?

If they didn’t say anything else is wrong, then fill it out the same way you did and sign it and send it. It’s a pretty straightforward form. Just a word of advice: you should scan everything you send to and receive from immigration. If you had scanned this form before sending it you would know for sure if you signed it correctly or not.

OP indicated both AOS and consular processing on the form so USCIS thinks the spouse is in the US.

your Noa2 was just in December 2021 

have u paid the 2 fees to be able to do the I 864 and ds 260

 

December  is so current /  many in your shoes are waiting at NVC a year and your timeline doesn't even show u paid the fees to get things started at NVC 

filling a I 824 to make things move faster won't work 

there's a lot to do at NVC stage to even get in queue for a interview

They’re not doing it to speed it up. They made a mistake on their I-130 and USCIS thinks the spouse is in then US and adjusting status

i hope the lawyer can correct this issue

at least now you have let the OP know of her mistake and that the I 824 is useless

Why would it be useless?

Just asking/ giving an idea: 

Filing the I-824 is time consuming and can delay the process.

Wouldn’t it be faster to close the case and start from scratch, now that OP knows what the mistakes were?

how can it be hurried up if there needs to be corrections so NVC sends the notice to pay the 2 fees for what really needs to be done?

what process would NVC work on when they think he's in US and he's not

she is not AOS  in the US

what office has the case if USCIS thinks its AOS?

NVC wouldn't get it

I think you need to read the previous post because you’re confusing things…. They’re trying to get USCIS to send the petition to NVC so it can be processed there and sent to the consulate eventually when they’re DQ’d. They indicated by mistake that he’s doing AOS so USCIS did not send the case to NVC.

yeah,  instead of paying steep fees to a lawyer ,  it would have been cheaper to do a new petition

For the OP, I found this fairly detailed site regarding the I824.  It may be helpful.

That was also my thought. But in OP’s previous thread and another similar thread (link below) they were advised to wait out the I-824.
