Hi,
My I-140 (with sub. labor cert) was approved on 7/16. I chose to have CP
when I filed I-140. The approval notice I got from my lawyer mentioned that
I need to file I-824 (see below) in order to have my petition sent to NVC.
Shouldn't it be sent to NVC automatically after the approval? I asked my
lawyer, she said I don't need to file I-824. I am confused that why it said so
in the approval notice. Will my I-140 get sent to NVC by USCIS without I-824?
Anyone with recent I140 approval have the same note in their approval
notice?
Thanks a lot,
