I believe the approved I-130 is at NVC. So you should notify NVC about your marriage. I don't think I-824 is needed. When you married, you moved from F1 to F3 category, which has a wait of about 12 years instead of 6.5 years for F1.

So you should notify NVC about your marriage.

Thanks for the info. I'm trying to find more about this but can't find official docs. Do you have any links that clarify the question: what shall an I-130 beneficiary do if got married after I-130 has been approved (the applicant was U.S. citizen when he applied for a son/daughter older then 21).

Thanks
