Notice to est. Communication with nvc but already in us??Hi, I my husband and I (married to USC and in the US out-of-status) took adivce of a lawyer n filed I-130 separately , having found out we shoudve just filed concurrently I was about to send out I-485 when I recieved notice that I-130 was approved and almost immediately after a notice to "establish communication with the National Visa Center and register your agent". Im a little confused about why I need to do that? I still need a Visa number even though Im already here? And do I go ahead send in my AOS package after Ive contacted the NVC or am I supposed to wait again for a visa number? PLEASE HELP! THANKS!
File I-485 immediately with the copy of I-130 approval letter, once you receive the reciept for that go to your local USCIS office with I-130 approval and the reciept of the I-485 and they will directly request the NVC to send the file to them.
BTW that attorney that gave you that advice is dumb and stupid.
Were def sorry we took that advice but were so nervous about making mistakes...now determined to finish this right. THANK YOU so much for helping, we really appreciate it.
Do not walk into a USCIS office without getting the receipt for the I-485 filing as once filed and a receipt in hand, you are not considered out of status but awaiting Adjustment of Status.
I am assuming you have a legal entry into the US and have a expired I-94 in your possession.
