IP ? pending??

Hi, do you konw what IP stands for. "IP pending" ;this is what IO wrote to the N-652, right next to "no decision cannot yet be made"

That was 3 months ago, still waiting for a reply...

 

[kamrans]

It depends on the mistake but usually they just want to check that you are paying taxes regularly or not however it cannot be denied based on this issue.

Good Luck to you and your husband.

I-824 is an action on already approved petition. This is not a petition itself. Usually this is used for consular processing of the employment based immigrants or to get Follow to join benefits for the spouses of people who get green cards in USA. There are some prerequisites that you need to meet to apply for FTJ.
I-130 is normally used for family based immigrants and for people who are not inside US.
You cannot get status on I-824 until there is some other application like I-485 is approved. As I stated this is nothing but an action on already approved petition.
Check the timeline in service center about I-824 approval time. This will give you estimate about how long it will take.
All the packets are discarded now except 3.5 and 4. Packed 3.5 is the initial packet the consulate send you when they get your information from USCIS or from National visa center. The send you all the forms that needed to be filled out and the brochure describing how to complete everything.
Packet 4 comes as an interview date and you have to present it when you go for the interview.

jattala,

please post your case properly or give us more details of your case, etc. i130 is very different from i824 and if im not mistaken, i130 has no relation with i824...

R u understand my case? please give me information about when processing is going to be done

 

[kamrans]

Jattala,
Right now they are processing cases filed on or before March 8, 2006. So I believe its couple of months.
I still dont understand why you need to file I-824 after I-130. Who filed petition for you ie what is the basis of your application. Some I-824 application petition go directy to the US embassy after approval through cable and in this case you should get packet 3.5 within 14 days of the approval. If you dont then you need to contact them soon after two weeks to complete the processing. Other application go through the national visa center and they work according to their timelines. You need to contact them after your approval.
Since I dont know the exact details of your case I cannot guide you more. But based on your case details you need to follow up with either with consulate or with the NVC. Check out the timeline in your service center about I-824 approval. The link is below :

Hi Kamrans

I have a situation and worndered your views

Husband Filed I 485 for himself and youngest son and concurrently filed I 824 for minor son abroad who was to follow to join

The I 824, I am told once approved goes directly to the consulate for further action

My sons I 824 was pending at enacment of CSPA Child status protection act.
Attorney says son is protected but VO says aged out. Looks like I will have to go to court

I have e-mail saying it appears your I 824 became separated from file and Texas errored in working before husbands I 485 was approved

Any thoughts?

Hello Everyone,

I appreciate if someone can answer, if they 'been through or know of any similar situation that I am in.

I am in my 7th year of H1 and I got my labor approved 2 months ago. My wife was on H4 status when she landed in the US. She is a Physical Therapist and recently her employer applied for her AOS (I-485, I-765, I-131...). As her category is more promising than mine I am planning to apply for my AOS as her dependent. Is it OK to apply for my AOS under spouse category being on H1B which expires in July'2007? My lawyer said she is not sure if my current status will be valid if I apply for my AOS attaching myself to my wife's application. Somehow I felt she didn't have clear information on this. If I am applying as her dependent, is I-485 is the only application I send? Do I need to send an application for I-765 too? I am confused and my lawyer is confusing more and more... please help!!!

PS: My wife applied for AOS in first week of Sept, she is yet to get any Visa number, is this the right time for me to Join my application to hers? I guess once she gets her EAD it would take much longer for me to get my AOS.

'appreciate it!!!

kamrans,


Is there anything to consider while applying for visitor visa when on F2J other than following the usual paperwork for the B1/B2 visa requirements ? You also mentioned you had got a senator's letter - what was the letter about and what was the purpose ?

Anyone else have experience getting a visitor visa while spouse is on F2J ? Please share.

I am contemplating applying for a visitor visa for my wife and need to weigh my options before taking any decision. My PD is 8/15/01 and have been painfully watching the progress (or lack thereof) for the past 4 months. I-824 approved and Case# has been assigned.


Thanks !

I wish you good luck and thinking your decision is good. I dont see any hope for EB3 india to enter 2002 in a year or so. Its stagnant at April 2001 right now and they are talking about further retrogression.

Good Luck to all.
