Dear Members,

My spouse is about to submit the form I-824 to initiate the follow to join derivative benefit for me and our 4 children. We are confused with the filing fee assocated with it. Can someone please advise if the fee depends on how many beneficiaries or is it per filing. We just want to make sure if it $405.00 or $405.00 x 5.

Thanks a lot!

Thanks NigeriaBust. I have asked my wife to proceed filling the I-824.

Hope there are others there who had the same case as I. Would appreciate other inputs and thoughts.

Sometimes there is a clock on how long you can access the follow to join benefit. Here is something that may help you http://manila.usembassy.gov/follow-to-join.html

Thanks again Nigeria for continously responding.

I also checked this site before and what confuses me is the I-824, Application for Action on an Approved Application or Petition. It says here "if applicable". I did not accomplish this form. When is it applicable and when is it not? Do you think my wife have have to fill and send it?

When did you wife first enter the US on her visa ?

Thanks for responding.

My wife first entered the US on March 26, 2013.

I qualify as a derivative beneficiary of my wife who was petitioned by her sister. My wife is now in the US and has an LPR status already.

I have started working on acquiring my immigrant visa.

What I have done so far is that I have checked from ceac site and saw the status of my visa as ready.

Now I am trying to fill up the DS-261 and DS-260 forms but I keep on getting a message - application error. I have called the embassy and the agent asked me to get a screenshot of the error - so i did and send it to support@ustraveldocs.com. I got a reply saying that my case has been updated and that I need to log back into my account to see the details. I tried several times after that and still getting the same application error.

Am i missing something causing my process to halt?

Advise are greatly appreciated.

Thank you.
