No worries! Thank you so much for all your help.

Thank you. I appreciate this. I still can’t believe I made this mistake, but I am just trying to rationalize thinking that everything happens for a reason. thank you again!

Yes, they both do. I double checked the forms I sent (I filed online) and both of them are incorrect when it comes to items 61-62. Absolutely my fault. I filed online, so I have the copies of the I-797 already. Regarding my service center question, I was wondering how they determine which service center cases go to. Do they base it on where we live or random? I know to send the forms themselves to the USCIS lockbox in Phoenix.

I am sorry. I do not know the answer to your question as my case is different. 😔 Maybe you can try to create a new post, so it will be visible to those who know more?

I am sending my I-824s today. Regarding what SC the forms get sent to, is that random or depending on where I live?

It is Manila, Philippines consulate

I think I will go to the I-824 route. The plan is to actually bring my parents here next year, so they can spend more time with relatives there. I am just hopeful that the I-824 will end up in a desirable service center, so they can actually be here next year.

I did file online.

Okay. Thank you so much for your guidance

Thank you so much for all your help. One more question about fee. After paying the I-824, would I still need to pay the AOS and IV Application Fee at NVC?

Okay. Thank you for clarifying. Would I need to pay a fee at the NVC again?

It says both on their applications Saint Paul, MN. I am so frustrated right now with myself. Can I send them an email saying this is a mistake?

This is going to sound really dumb, but 61 and 62 says Saint Paul, MN. I don't even remember putting that on there. What can I do at this point? Do I need to resubmit the entire thing?

Oh goodness. I had to double check! No, I did not do that by accident. Do you think I have not received any mail from the NVC because my parents' applications are connected to each other and my mom's just got approved today? Thank you.

Hello! I am a little confused with the instruction on the approval notice and the NVC website regarding bringing my parents here to the US. Fortunately, my mom’s I-130 got approved today. Now, after I get the approval notice in the mail, I want to do the next step - which I understand is the NVC since they are outside of the US. My dad’s approval (December 2023) notice says to file form I-824 and pay the filing fee so the USCIS will forward the form to the NVC. The NVC guide says the USCIS will transfer the case to NVC then I will file the forms they need there. I have not gotten any welcome mail or email with the case number from the NVC. I checked the guide here, but it didn’t answer my question. I also sent an inquiry to the NVC, but I thought someone here may know the answer. Can I get some guidance please? Thank you!
