I received an approved I-130 for my wife, couple of months went by with no response from NVC, I looked back on my NoA2 and seen verbiage about filing an I-824, googled this and found it's an application for action on an approved I-130. Looked at my copy of my submitted I-130 and realized I left the country blank on question 62.a Called USCIS and was told to make a change to an approved petition that's leaving the U.S requires an I-824. So after all this I have a couple questions. There are questions on the I-824 that I'm not exactly sure what is the correct response. I'll attach a picture of the I-824 question. I'm thinking it's either 1.b or 1.d, there just is not any other questions on the I-824 for how they would know which embassy to send my petition to, unless they just go off her geographic information from address etc. Second question is, am I able to tell when I file my I-824, where it will go? My NoA1 had an address of Nebraska on the bottom, my NoA2 had an address of National Benefits Center in Kansas. The reason I'm asking is because Nebraska has a current processing time of 22-23 months for an I-824, NBC is 5 months. Our receipt number starts with IOE. If my NoA2 was sent from NBC in KS, could that be where my I-824 goes, or since it's mailed to the Phoenix lockbox, it could be sent to Nebraska? Or is there a chance that it could go to any service center in the U.S? I'm in the upper midwest of the U.S geographically. I'm already planning on going back in a few months to visit my wife, so if it goes to Nebraska, I was considering just a withdrawl of the current CR-1 and refiling a new CR-1 once I return, as 15 months at Nebraska vs 23 months is a long time. Once an I-824 is submitted, is the CR-1 still able to be withdrawn if the processing time is 2 years vs a year and a half?

Thanks, appreciate it.

So, reading that, I will need to file by mail and still fill out a W7?

I tried searching for ITIN here, but some stuff was old and a little confusing. I tried filing my taxes online, but it asks for a SSN or drivers license number. I went to HR Block and the person said to get something called ITIN or PTIN. Is this required to file married but seperate? Some of the searches said an ITIN took over a year to receive. I am wanting my taxes filed and complete so I have them ready when she gets her CR1 interview. I know I can't file single now, even though she is not in the U.S yet, would it be in our benefit to get the ITIN/PTIN? Or is there a way to file married and not have one and just file regularly when she does arrive here?

And that's one of the main parts that was making me second guess the dates, because USCIS deals with every country, I wasn't sure how well they would be aware of other specific cultural norms vs the actual Embasy when going to her interview. For me as a U.S citizen, it's the day of the wedding, you're legally married, doing this immigration process for the last 5 years has opened my eyes quite a bit, not in a bad way.

Thanks Yeah I understand that. It was just confusing and wanting to avoid a possible RFE because of the date discrepancy. But I'll be using the date on the certificate and just annotating why my pictures and other proof of marriage have a date of February vs April.

Cambodia generally, for Khmer citizens, they use the date of registration as their actual wedding date, even if it differs from the date of the ceremony. I've seen some that were 4 days, some a week, ours just took longer than expected, plus a mistake causing them to have to translate the entire certificate. My main concern is just not causing confusion with USCIS, I would think the Cambodian embasy would understand Khmer traditions.

It states date of marriage registration April 1st 2022. That's the only date on the certificate. It states date of marriage registration as April 1st 2022, that's the only date on our certificate.

I went to Cambodia in Feb of this year to marry my fiance, we had our ceremony Feb 13th, I left the country in March. There was a mistake they made with my DoB on our marriage certificate so they had to re do it, I had already left the country, so by the time it was finished, the marriage certificate was dated April 1st. Basically what date am I putting on the CR1? Our hotel receipts from the honeymoon, our pictures of the ceremony are all dated around the 13th-25th of Feb. My exit visa shows March 4th. So they would know I wasn't in the country in April. Do I just put April 1st and write something explaining the date discrepancy, thanks.
