Did not put consulate in I-130 form

[JP and Tee 13]

hi everyone,

we'd appreciate your feedback.

We sent in the I-130 two weeks ago, got the email and text saying it was sent to Vermont, the check's been cashed then we received the NOA1 saying it's sent to Lee's Summit, MO.

I was a little worried so I asked my husband to check the copy we have. Turned out for Question no 22, we didn't write down the name of consulate where I'd have my interview, since we're not living together at the moment.

Anyone has any suggestions on how we can amend this?

Thanks so much, hope to hear from you soon.

Hi there,

I just wanted to let you know that several of us, who filed I-130 petitions at the same time you did, got the same letter. We're not sure exactly why our files went to Lee's Summit, but I don't think it's a bad thing. USCIS has a service center in Lee's Summit, Missouri. They process different applications there. It is not where you would have an interview. The letter didn't say anything about an interview or an RFE, did it? So you can relax and just be patient.

Good luck and best wishes!

Hi Treva,

phew, nice to know that!

It's just that in our I-130 form, we forgot to indicate where I'd be having my interview (US Embassy in Kuala Lumpur), so was worried it might affect our petition or have the USCIS think that I am in the US at the moment and will be AOS-ing from there (we are not). Anywho, my husband called the helpline who told us to write a short letter indicating the missing info and send it to MO.

I wonder why ours got sent there. Are you doing AOS in the US?

Hi JP&Tee,

No, my husband is in Côte d'Ivoire. So he is not doing AOS. Adjustment of Status is for a beneficiary who is already in the USA (for example, arrived in the USA on a tourist visa or student visa and got married while in the USA and is still here). In your case, if the beneficiary spouse is in Malaysia, and not in the USA, then you did not need to answer question 22. I'm sure a VJ senior expert will correct me if I'm wrong!

best wishes

ehh, i thought there's a lil space there that says "if your relative is adjusting at a consulate, name the location" or something like that, so we're supposed to put "kuala lumpur" for city and "malaysia" for country. my husband called the helpline and they told us to just send a letter saying we missed that and that was it. I hope our petitions will be processed quickly. I miss my husband quite a bit!
