INS msg

cool-guy,
I am also in the same boat for Mumbai consulate.
My I824 and I485 says the same msg. (i.e. On .. appropriate American
consulate or POE was notified...)
Does your msg is also on both EAC#(i.e. I485&I824)
Thanks
 
Help

If spouse is in the US on H-4 and marriage was before 485 approval (but after 485 application), can spouse use FTJ provision to file AOS? What forms need to be filled for FTJ?
 
that is a definite possibility

yes, you can adjust the status in the US itself
through regular 485 process. All the forms are
same and the procedures are also same as regular
485. Talk to your lawyer he must be able you
help you out in filling your spouse 485. Your
spouse is also entitled to EAD and parole if needed.

cool-guy AND coolftj

Hello cool-guy AND coolftj,
I am also in the same boat(Wife following to join).Could you please tell me in I824 "Receipt Notice" in the col. BENEFICIARY whose name should be there.In my receipt they have shown my name.
Thanks.
 
to mm_a

Hi mm_a,

In the beneficiary column your wife\'s name should appear.
you name appears in the petitioner col.

Did you make a mistake filling out Beneficiary col. in
the 824 form ?!!
try sending them a letter, with all supporting documents
including a copy of the 824 that you filed.
 
to mm_a

Hello,

in my I824 approval lettter, in beneficiary column my name is there. They didnot receive cable in channai. Is this going to creat any problem?

Thanks
 
mm_a & raju

Hi,

Not sure how you guys filed. maybe your case is different.

1. What are the fields in which your wife\'s name appear ?
2. What appears in item 3 of 824 application ?
3. What appears in 824- receipt beneficiary item ?
4. What appears in 824- approval beneficiary item ?

similary what apperas in "petitioner" fields

also raju, can you give us timelines and details of service center?
my approval also came through, and am waiting for chennai to receive the cable.
 
To coolftj

when my lawyer filed for I824
she didnot fill my wife\'s information in part 3 of application
instead she attached a typed paper(it say addendum to I824) she gave my wife\'s information there(like name, DOB. address in india)

When i received I824 receipt and approval, in the petitioner section my name is there and also in beneficiary section my name is there. my wife\'s name is nowhere mention on approval notice.

Time Line : I824 approved at VSC Oct 22. Cabled to chennai on Oct 30.
They never received cable. When I spoke to INS last week, officer said wait for few more weeks.

Please advise.

Thanks

hi raju,

Since you are going through a lawyer she may know the stuff.
I guess the 824 cable is mainly to inform the consulate of
YOUR green card status. i guess it also mentions visa chargeability.

Did you check the AVM of VSC recently ?
In my case it says the appropriate consulate was informed
by cable ,fax or telephone (!!??).

it has been a month and I am playing wait-and-see game.

Have you or your lawyer tried pressuring chennai to accept without
cable ?

thanks
 
My 2 cents

It is frustrating to go throught this undocumented procedure. Different people have different opinions. My guess is the beneficiary column in the 824 does not matter. The cable is just a go ahead from ins for the consulate to proceed.

Also the chennai consulate ask for supporting documents for a 824(look in previous threads on which documents to send). My guess is the consulate some how cross verifies the supporting document with the cable.

INS might have sent the cable, since there is no supporting document they are not creating a case number(dont quote me on this one, just a guess). Talk to consulate about the supporting documents they create a case number with just those documents through VISA BADDGER process. This process takes atleast 8 weeks timeframe.

raju,cool-guy AND coolftj

raju,
My 824 is exactly same as yours (e.g. My lawyer attached a separate
sheet for spouse details.)and in beneficiary col. my name is printed.
Lawyer said spouse is not beneficiary but she is "Following to Join"

cool-guy:
What is VISA BADDGER process?
Can my wife go directly to consulate in India and give the supporting documents to create the case#?
 
Messege to cool_guy

Did your wife filled Packet3 forms in india and submitted to consulate? OR she send it here in US, for your Lawyer to fill it?

We have to fill just OF230 and OF169 forms right? Do we have to attach any other documents?

My wife is expecting to get packet 3 soon. We are wondering whether she has to send it to US(thus wasting time in mail) for my lawyer to complete.

Thanks
