I’m sorry but I’m confused. Why do you specify consular processing when the beneficiary is already in the U.S?

Here it is again:

Some DIYers and lawyers prefer to do the standalone I-130. One reason might be that the standalone I-130 can specify consular processing thus preserving options in the case the beneficiary needs to leave the U.S. Whereas if I-130 specifies that the beneficiary will file I-485, to switch to consular requires paying a fee for I-824 and waiting more  years.

The beneficiary - my spouse is not planning to overstay because she still has 2-3 years more to study. And the visa bulletin of “Date for Filing” chart is Current for F2A for April 2023

I’ve lost count of the number of people who have abandoned I-485 and opted for consular processing. There was one topic posted in 2023 where, instead of waiting years for I-824 to switch the petition to consular, they just filed a new I-130.
