I filed I-130 for my wife, then filed I-129F, both got approved but then I withdrawn I-129F and filed I-824 form to let USCIS send my approved I-130 to US Consulate in Pakistan. I have received confirmation and receipt no.
I wanted to know how much time does I-824 takes to process, All USCIS has to do is send the approved I-130, but it seems like it takes forever, Should I just wait for it or just re-apply all over again and not file I-129F so USCIS just process I-130?

I filed form I-824 in March.

Thanks for any input on this,
Romio

I think you should wait. The latest reported timeline for I-824 is two months.

If you want an immigrant visa, don't file an I-129F for spouse.

I would wait too. We did the same thing because our attorney filed for both the I-129F & the I-130 and we were
told we would have a choice on which petition to persue. After we learned so much more we wanted to go with the
I-130. We were approved in 2 months but that is with an expidited request approved.

I think if you start all over it will take you much longer than just waiting on the I-824 to be approved.

Thanks for the information, I am satisfied now and will wait for I-824.



Thank you and I decided to wait!

[code][/code]How long does you wait upon your application of I824 comes to you, or how long did you received the I824 at USCIS. because, my husband applied that for me last april 2008 and upto this time we havent received anything.
thanks and hope to hear from your.
