[Hshah4482 1]

So last weekend I did I-130 for my spouse and she live in India and I’m US citizen and in I-130 I forgot to mention where my spouse would like to be interview for visa interview. and after submitting my application. I talked with live agent via chat who recommended me I submitted letter where she would like to interview. So I submitted will it be okay. And how long is waiting for the I-130 approval.

Sure, as long as you did not indicate a location where she will adjust status in the USA.

I’m not sure I understand that.

Back to back questions on the form.  First is where she'll adjust status and second is where she will apply for a visa.  If you answered neither of them, the letter indicating she will apply in Mumbai, will do just fine.  Did you leave the first question blank too?  If so, that's fine.

Yes I left the both questions blanks. But someone told me I was supposed to answer second questions. So I got scared and I chatted with live agent and told me to upload letter where she would like to be interview.

About a year for the petition to be approved and 6 to 12 more months until the visa interview.  Hopefully, you also filed the I-130a and supporting documentation too.

Yes I did I -130a and I put supporting documents my only concern is about question that I forgot to answer about where my spouse would like to be interview in India. And I talked with live agent and he told me I can do letter and upload

You can do that, of course, but there's only one interview location in India.  It's Mumbai.

Because someone told me I will have to do I-824 once my I-130 is approved since I didn’t include embassy. So I’m scared

So I did my I-130 for my spouse and she is in India. And I forgot to mention embassy where she would like to be interview for her visa. And I called USCIS they told me to write a letter and explain what happened and upload online. And also told me to do typographic errors form in there website.
