USCIS Service CentersI-824
Hello,

Our Noa2 is received on July and we were still waiting for the NVC letter.
It has been almost 5 months but still nothing in hand.even NVC did not create a file number for our case.
Today my husband called up USCIS office to check with them if there is something wrong.
I am confused please help because now USCIS is asking to fill I-824 form and pay USD340.

Do you know what is this form and why they ask this?I never read about this forum here while the people are on CR-1 visa.

Thanks for your help.

Hi all,

See below info. from NVC web site to find out when your case number created.

QUOTE
Case Number: The National Visa Center (NVC) gives each immigrant petition a case number. This number has three letters followed by ten digits (numbers). The three letters are an abbreviation for the overseas embassy or consulate that will process the immigrant visa case (for example, GUZ for Guangzhou, CDJ for Ciudad Juarez).

The digits tell us exactly when NVC created the case. For example a case with the number MNL2001747003 would be a case assigned to the U.S. Embassy in Manila. 2001 is the year in which NVC received the case from the USCIS (formerly INS). The Julian date is 747 plus 500, so this case was created on September 4, 2001, the 247th day of the year. The 003 shows that it was the third case created for Manila on that day. This case number is not the same as the USCIS receipt number, which is written on the Notice of Action, Form I-797, from the USCIS. A consular section abroad cannot find a case if all you have is the USCIS receipt number.

For some reason, they seem to be expecting you to adjust status. What did you write on page two of the I-130 petiton?

Does NOA2 say they are going to send the petition to NVC?

Did you file an I-129F for a K3 at any point?

Yes, form I-824 is the form used to direct USCIS to send the petition to NVC if they are holding it in the USA to await an I-485 adjustment of status application based on it.



Hello,

Our case is CR1 (I-130) and never applyed for I-129 (K3)

Since 5 months NVC asked us to wait until they receive our papers from USCIS and they have never said we are in a different situation. Five months after they realized and asked us to contact with USCIS.
After my husband contact with USCIS they are asking him to fill I-824 out and pay USD340.

It is hard to beleive that 5 months later they realized that we are in a different situation.

Yes,NOA2 says they (USCIS) sent our paper to NVC.

So confused here..

even do not know this is good or bad to fill this form sad.gif

please help.

Agreed, many aliens have a hard time understanding the US tax system. My wife had a hard time understanding that when I needed copies of my "tax documents," all I had to do was go to the filing cabinet and not go stand in line at the local "tax police" office.

I called NVC today and now the the messages say that our case was completed on August 19th not August 14th as it said originally. WIERD!!!!! Also I looked at the US Embassy website and they have already scheduled up to NOV 8. They only hope I have is that they will schedule more interviews for October days! Anyway this week is going to be hard, I am so anxious to find out about our interveiw date. ClockWatch2.gif

I read that some case completion have been changed from one date to another date. wacko.gif . Its ok you will most likely will get an interview for October unless the embassy is full. We are all waiting for an interview date patiently and we all should be hopeful innocent.gif or else devil.gif Best of luck. good.gif

Thank you Peach waterfalls.

Actually our first application to the California Service Center was on November 2006.
My husband send all necessary dox to the CSC office by regular mail.
We have waited 6 months without any answer from them.When we called the office we found out that they never received the docs..We did not know that we should send them by USPS.Thus we lost 6 months and it is good enough to make us crazy.After this bad news we sent our copy docs. to the office end of March 2007 and the NOA1 is receved on 02 May 2007.Still awaiting for a new step.I hope this is normal procedure so we do not wait for nothing again.

Good luck all.
