My parents' final visa processing was delayed by approximately five months due to minor mistakes I made along the way. It is important, as I stated in my submitting applications post, to follow submission instructions in order to avoid processing delays.
The "Application for Action on an Approved Petition" -Form I-824, must be submitted to a new location beginning on Feb. 19, 2010.
The change is part of USCIS's transition to "centralize form and fee collection" with the objective of increasing processing effeciency.
Form I-824 is used for three purposes:
Request an approval notice to be sent to another U.S. Consulate
Request an approval notice to be sent to a U.S. Consulate for derivative family visas
Request a duplicate approval
The new address list provides detailed I-824 submission information.
This blog is about my immigration journey - which began in the late-1990s - from Zimbabwe to the United States of America. I am sharing my experiences with the objective of helping individuals who, similarly to me, may find the immigration process impermeable. I am not an attorney and the contents of this blog do not constitute legal advice.
