If you have received your Notice of Action letters (either 1 or 2) KEEP THEM IN A SAFE PLACE!!!

DO NOT LOSE IT.

DO NOT THROW IT OUT.

MAKE COPIES RIGHT NOW.

I repeat.

DO NOT LOSE IT.

DO NOT THROW IT OUT.

MAKE COPIES RIGHT NOW.

I lost both my copies and need to pay an extra $200 for a duplicate of it.

You will need your NOA #2 for Adjustment of Status purposes.

They will ask for it back.

Don't ask why.

They don't want you keeping their paper I guess.

So please don't end up like me and keep your papers in a safe place where you will remember!

I am a fanatic about keeping paperwork (even stuff I don't really need to keep) and my husband teases me all the time about it. But, I guess being that way paid off for us because I not only had the NOA2, I had every single piece of paper that I ever put my hands on since the beginning of the process.

Sorry to hear it's going to cost you so much money.

Good luck with the rest of your journey.

Luckily I had stumbled on to some posts here on VJ while I was still at the I-129F phase and knew that I had to hold onto my NOA2. Otherwise I probably would've been I the same boat as you. Isn't it just completely illogical??? You're goin to pay $200 for them to send you a form that you will then send back to them!!????

When you get it, make sure you only put a copy in your AOS app and save the original to bring to your interview.

Don't ask why.

They don't want you keeping their paper I guess.

Possibly the reason we, as K-1s, must submit a copy of the NOA2 is to ensure that when we submit the forms to adjust status the original petitioner and beneficiary married each other, since that is the only way a K-1 can adjust.
