@Villanelle is correct, if you look at I-824 instructions it indicates several reasons one would file and yes, your falls under #5 on that list. 
 

We often see very poor advice coming from attorneys here. If they don’t know basic information like that (that I-824 is not just for lost notices), I would certainly not retain them.

Yess, I’m now showing him this forum. This is really helpful. Thank you so much😊

Good luck and don’t hesitate to ask more questions as they come

Hi! Thanks for your help last time. Turns out my husband haven't sent the form i-824. He'e gonna mail it tommorow but we noticed this part? Can you please check if we have filed up the correct part and reason? We have a 3 yr old daughter so put her her on the dependent. But we didn't notice the "If you selected Part 2., Item Number 1.c., provide the  following information about the dependents for whom you are  requesting follow-to-join benefits" We Chose the Item number 1.d for part 2.  hanks so much!

That looks correct to me.

 

Just a note, it is best if your husband does not naturalize while you’re still in the process. When green card holders petition for their spouse, as you can see, there is an option to have a derivative on your application (your child) that will be joining you. If he becomes a US citizen, that no longer is the case. He will have file a new I-130 petition for the child from the beginning. Just an FYI

Oh I see. Thanks for this but as of now he has no plans to change his citizenship. By the way, do we still need to fill out the "dependent" part even though we chose the Part 2., Item Number 1.d? Hopefully we won't make mistakes this time.

Hi again! We decided to  leave the part 3, dependents part, blank since it should be filled up when you choose the reason 1.c. Is it okay if we don’t fill up our daughter’s name in here? Does she automatically come under my name? Thanks so much!

Yes, it does seem that that section only applies if you checked reason 1c. Regarding the part about automatically being included under your name I’m not sure about since I have never completed this form. As far as I know, derivatives are included when you complete Ds-260 at the NVC stage, that’s when you inform them that you have a derivative (your child in this case).

Hi! Thank you! Yes, We filled that out in our i-130 but there's no derivative section in the i-824 form. So we don't know where to put my daughter's information. Thank you so much!

Hi! Apologies but I don't know anything about it. We're still in the early stages so I'm still also confused on what to do, forms and other technical terms. 

 

Maybe you can also try to ask in other bulletins. Goodluck

You made the right choice

 

Part 1.    1.d ( send to NVC) 

Part 2.     dependents is blank or not applicable ,

so no need to list your daughter ( NVC gets the I-130 and sees your child as derivative, she will show up in the CEAC site once NVC gets the case, creates a case number and e-mails instructions on how to log in) 

 

Part 3. is about you the principal , receipt number and dates. 
 

Just a quick question, in part 1 as applicant on I-824 is husband listed and marked as “ petitioner “
