經過我自己goolge了很久，把自己總結的 I-824 辦理過程寫出來

首先申明，我不是律師，我所講的，是我自己通過大量搜索總結而來。如果有出入，不負任何責任。

I-824的填表：所有的內容隻與主申請人有關。包括Part 3。比如，你是485申請人，填寫的是你自己的信息。在I-824申請表中，不會出現你的老婆/老公/孩子的任何信息。如果check C in Part 2, 當你的485批準而且I-824也批準的情況下，USCIS會通知大使館，比如你是從大陸來的，就告訴US Consulate General in Guangzhou，你現在已經是 LPR 了，你的老婆/老公/孩子可以 Following-to-join 了。

在你拿到 I-824 的批準件後，就應當寄給你老婆/老公/孩子（你自己當然得有複印件，最好公證一下）。他們將把他們自己的信息，如姓名，地址，和你關係的證明等，連同I-824複印件，寄到廣州美國大使館簽證處。所寄的材料必須能完全證明你和他們的關係能享受 Following-to-join。

當廣州大使館通過某些手續後，確認你的老婆/老公/孩子可以享受Following-to-join，就會和他們聯係。為加深理解，請閱讀下麵一段。

Following to join family members
The spouse and children of a principal applicant are entitled to derive immigration benefits from their principal’s approved visa petition and may travel to the United States at a later date. Under no circumstance will the derivative spouse or child be allowed to travel to the U.S. ahead of the principal applicant.

Following-to-join applicants may derive immigration benefits only if:

a) the spouse or children were acquired before the principal applicant’s admission into the United States; and

b) the principal applicant gained lawful permanent resident (LPR) status or was issued an immigrant visa under the family-preference (F) or employment-based (E) visa categories or was issued a nonimmigrant K or V visa. Foreign nationals who immigrated to the U.S. under an immediate relative (IR) visa category need to file a separate Form I-130 visa petition on behalf of their spouses and children.

c) the principal applicant has not naturalized. Once the principal applicant becomes a U.S. citizen, a separate visa petition would need to be filed on behalf of the spouse and /or children to qualify for immigration benefits again.


Following-to join derivative beneficiaries must present documentation establishing the principal applicant’s immigration status in the United States and their relationship to their principal. These include:

· A copy of the child’s birth certificate issued by the National Statistics Office

· A copy of the marriage certificate issued by the National Statistics Office

· A copy of the principal alien’s registration receipt card or I-551 or a copy of the principal alien’s passport pages indicating admission to the U.S. as an immigrant

· If applicable, Form I-824, Application for Action on an Approved Application or Petition

To register a family member as a following-to-join derivative, the above documents may be faxed to the Immigrant Visa Section at (632) 338-4129 or mailed to the U.S. Embassy, Immigrant Visa Branch, Roxas Blvd, Ermita, Manila. The documents must come with a letter of request clearly indicating the name of the applicant(s) and the applicant(s)' contact address and telephone number.

Once the Embassy ascertains the eligibility for following-to-join derivative status, it will provide instructions on how to apply for the visas.

It is important to remember that a child is only eligible for following-to-join benefits, if he or she is a child, stepchild or adopted child in accordance to U.S. immigration law.

遞交I-824，不會象小白兔說的會Revoke你的485。根據485表的說明，如果想老婆/老公/孩子享受Following-to-join，I-824必須和485同時遞交。但目前我還沒有搞定是否可以後來遞交--因為根據485不行，但根據824，是可以的。

希望對 824 關心的同誌們一起努力，三個臭皮匠，總定的上半個諸葛亮。
