[Loshiel Bose 0]

Today I received a letter says I-797 Notice of Action 

Notice Type: Approval Notice

Then it appears that there is some confusion. In your notice, they said they think the child is in the US and need to file Adjustment of status, which is not the case, according to you. 

 

So I think you have to call USCIS, and see if you can request them to send the petition to the NVC instead. Just say they made a mistake, the beneficiary is not in the US, please send the petition to the NVC. Try that first. Because if that doesn't work, you have to file the I-824 like they indicated, which will take more time.

Hopefully you kept a copy of the I 130 that you submitted. As already  suggested, look at what you put in Part 4 61 and 62.  That will tell you if you made the mistake on your form, or if USCIS did .. then call USCIS and discuss the next step based on what happened.

Just call them ASAP and cry your eyeballs out to see if they are willing to divert that I-130 to the NVC for you. That will be the best case.

Well, if it’s your mistake you can’t say it’s “not fair” for them to follow procedure. You can try voyager’s suggestion above to play on their sympathy. If it’s their mistake obviously you don’t need to pay.
