Check if its approved for AOS or CP
Check your I-140 approval letter, it should say if its approved for AOS or CP
Check your I-140 approval letter, it should say if its approved for AOS or CP
Check the following questions:
1. Did you opt for CP while filing for I-140?
- if not, you may have to file I-824 to change from AOS to CP.
2. If "yes" to #1 above, did INS approve your I-140 for CP?
- if not, INS will have to re-approve your case for CP (takes a month) and send it to NVC
3. Did INS confirm that they have sent it to NVC?
- if not, track it in INS and find out why it hasn\'t gone out to NVC (your lawyer may be able to do this more efficiently, instead of you trying to call a very busy number).
4. If "yes" to #3, did NVC confirm the receipt from INS?
- if not, you\'ll have to track the case forwarding from INS to NVC. Although NVC demands that 90 days pass before they take any action, some posters have reported success in getting NVC track the case before the 90 day period.
If you answer yes to #4, call NVC to find out why the case has not been created. It takes 2-4 weeks after step #3 for NVC to create the case.

May get lost during transfer to NVC
This just a prediction. If you search of "Sept I-824 to NVC" postings you will find some cases where the case never reached to NVC. In my case my I-824 was approved on Sept 4. INS send incomplete file to NVC. So NVC never created packet 3. After few calls to INS and NVC they figured out the mess. And now INS is expected to send my case to NVC in mid Jan. So I am still waiting for my case to get to NVC.
You can imagine what can happen here.
Wish this will not happen with you.
Good luck.
