Hi there,
i filed I-130 as a citizen for my brother back in 2005, and he was approved in 2009. I moved in between, didnt get the notice, or any other correspondence. How can I find out NVC status?
I emailed USCIS a week ago with the USCIS case/recipient # and received confirmation of my brother's I-130 approval, and USCIS said the following below. Question, do I need to pay USCIS $465 to file I-824 "Application for Action on an Approved Application" or can I 'pick-up' with NVC and go from there?
Their response:
What We Have Done
We approved your Form I-130 petition on November 10, 2009, and sent it to the U.S. Department of State
National Visa Center (NVC). You will need to inform the NVC in writing of your change of address.
You may write to the NVC at:
National Visa Center
Attn: WC
31 Rochester Avenue, Suite 200
Portsmouth, NH 03801-2915
At a minimum, please include the following:
*Copy of the Form I-130 petition approval notice with the name of the beneficiary.
If you need a copy of your approval notices, you will need to file Form I-824, Application for Action on an
Approved Application or Petition, with filing fee.
