Filed I-130 while leaving Part 4 62a-c blank for getting visa abroad and now potentially I-824
I applied for I-130 but must have left a section blank and now I got I-130 approval but with this notice:
"The above petition has been approved. However, you did not indicate on the petition whether the beneficiary intends to apply for an immigrant visa abroad at a U.S. Embassy or a U.S. Consulate or will apply for adjustment of status in the United States. Therefore, USCIS has retained the petition."
"If the beneficiary decides to apply for an immigrant visa outside the United States based on this petition, you should file Form I-824, Application for Action on an Approved Application or Petition, to request that we send the petition to the U.S. Department of State National Visa Center (NVC)."

- If I file I-824 do I have to pay the fee associated to it again? Is there any alternate way?
- I have a separate I-130 in process for my brother is it possible to update that I-130 before it gets to this phase so I can avoid the I-824?
