I-824 based on an approved I-130

[jons_wifey 22]

My mother's I-130 was approved HOWEVER I need to file I-824 - not sure why? Mother is in UK, If I don't file I-824, she/I will not get the Welcome letter from NVC - or does it not have any bearing?

So my mum is UK needs to print and sign the form, correct?

Looks like you didn't fill out the section on the I-130 asking in which country the beneficiary will apply for the immigrant visa. You need to fill in either item 61 or item 62, if you fill in neither, or both, you get this notice and nothing else happens until you file I-824.

 

Per the instructions for I-824 only you (the petitioner) can file I-824 for this scenario of sending the approved petition to NVC, so your mother will not be the one signing it.

 

Only the petitioner of the previously approved immigrant visa petition may file Form I-824, if action in Part 2., Item
Number 1.d. or Item Number 1.e. is requested. You must provide the A-Number (in Part 1., Item Number 6. of the
application) or the Receipt Number of the previously approved petition (in Part 3., Item Number 1.b. of this application),
and complete and sign this application.

At one time that omission added around a year's time....not sure if it still does.

You won't know which service center handles the case until you get your NOA though. Also, don't forget to include the fee, that one-line omission just cost you $465 in filing fee for the I-824...

Sounds like she’s assuming it will be added to her I-130 petition at the CSC.

How long did it take you to get the 824 approved?
