I-130 approved but retained by uscis

[Jeevan 20]

Recently I-130 was approved for my father but I missed to fill out embassy information. This is the notice I got . The processing time for I-824 is up to 12 months . My mothers I 130 was approved without any issue and sent to NVC .

Yes, that was your error, and yes, the I-824 takes about a year.  Did you have a question?

I do not remember seeing these but they seem to come up a lot now, did you file online?

 

I guess they are seeing a lot of I 824's hence the processing time.

I think this is more a FYI, perhaps a warning to others.

Maybe?  But it was initially appended randomly to someone else's thread.

I saw this was also posted yesterday in another thread and as you said no question.

I didn’t know where to post the question . I wanna know how to fix this error sooner . I want both my parents to come at the same time and sooner . I m having my baby this November and I was hoping they will be with me next year by March or April 

[Boiler 45,585]

I have only heard of the I 824.

The sooner you file I-824 the sooner it will get resolved.

If the I-824 is filed now, plan on about a year after submission for the I-130 to get from USCIS to NVC, then an additional 2 months for processing, and then add a waiting period after that for the visa interview at the consulate to be scheduled.  If it is India, it could take many months.  You should plan on about 2 years after the I-824 is filed until your father's visa interview, more or less, so he could be in the US by around August of 2025 if all goes well.  Your mother can contact NVC to hold her file there until your father's catches up, if they want to immigrate together.  She should not complete the DS-260, upload any documents, or pay any fees until her husband's file is at the same stage.  Good luck!

That won’t be possible unfortunately.  The case won’t move forward at all without filing and processing the I-824 which will add an extra year to the process.

Unfortunately, this is clearly your error. Send in I-824, pay the fee and wait.

Possible to bring him on visitor visa maybe?

For visits, yes.  But not for immigration.  That would involve fraud.
