Hello. Has anyone gone this route before or is going through this route? How long did your 1-824 take to be approved. How long did it take to send the case to the NVC and then to the local consulate? Also shout out to anyone currently going through this just to exchange notes and support.
 
I am also going thru that, filing date is Apr 12, 2023. I think it is a 6month process, although it says 3 month minimum.
 
Wow I had really been holding out some hope that 3 month would be 3 months but I guess it normally takes longer. which processing centre was your case assigned to? Mine was assigned to Nebraska and everything I'm seeing points to ti being the worst centre for i824. Not sure what to think
 
Vermont is the worst. By the way, there are videos on the internet that says I-824 is NOT REQUIRED at all if you did the initial I-130 correctly. In the I-130 form there is one checkbox that forces the application to start I-824 EVEN THOUGH your spouse is overseas and address is overseas, it is obvious that application should go directly to the CP (Consular process) for processing in the spouse's home country.

The whole I-130 process is a disaster , probably intentional to make extra money and waste people's time as well.
 
Why are you guys filing I-824? Is it to switch the principal beneficiary from AOS to Consular Processing? Or because the principal beneficiary did AOS and the derivative beneficiaries are doing Consular Processing?
 
Is it to switch the principal beneficiary from AOS to Consular Processing? - Yes, this is correct.
It shouldn't have gone to AOS in the first place, since the I-130 clearly shows the principal beneficiary is overseas and it should default to CP. Instead of doing that, they are forcing us to go through I-824 process.
 
On the I-130, did you fill out Part 4 #61 (for CP), or Part 4 #62 (for AOS), or both? They cannot infer CP or AOS from the person's current location, because someone who's in the US might eventually do CP, and someone who's outside the US might eventually come in and do AOS.
 
For me its to process GCs for the rest of the family after my spouse got his. we were unable to move to the US before his AOS was approved
