question!! πŸ™‹β€β™€οΈ
for people who got their i-130 approved, may i ask if i-824 and i-485 were mentioned in your approval notice? because i thought my i-130 is a standalone and i don't need to file i-824 (since im outside the us) but i think there's a mistake. or is it just a generic template? #ir2 #approvalletter #approved #i130 #i-130 #nvc

yes, in my case the I485 was mentioned but only to refer to it once I was ready to apply. in my case I didn’t because the i485 was approved at the same time. because you live outside there’s no need for you to adjust status because you are I’m assuming in a consular process I think you might se the i824 mentioned. but everything is standard

i understand that this is a form that is filed when a mistake has been made on the approved I130. For instance requesting consular processing by accident when you live in the States.They usually inform the applicant when it needs to be filled out.

@Jesus is King ohh ic, im actually asking people who file for i-130 standalone if i-824 and i-485 were mentioned in their approval letter as a generic template but they don't have to file them

@kay leen, The primary purpose of Form I-485 is to allow individuals who are already in the United States to apply for a Green Card without having to leave the country to complete the visa process.
