Consulat Processing Family addition

[akoru]

All,

My lawyer said that upon receipt of the visa fee bill she found that the CIS had not included my spouse and son on the application.

NVC has given me a case number for montreal. The question is how can I add them to my case. She says we need to apply for I-824 and make an ammendment that could take an eternity.

Please help if any one has gone through this.

Thanks
AK

If your spouse and son were part of your I-140 petition then
this would be a simple oversight on the part of NVC and
corrected easily.

Your attorney should contact NVC , Portsmouth, NH to get the fee bills for them.

Your attorney is not entirely incorrect in suggesting the filing of
form I-824, because this form IS ALSO used in cases where
the main applicant opts for AOS and wants his immediate
family members be allowed to appear at a consulate as
follow-to-join.

However, in your case it may not be needed.
