WOW THIS IS PATHETIC

Maybe they thought you are asking for the copy of entire I-130 package instead of just NOA2? If that is not the case then definitely save the $340 bucks for later and move on, just like others have said... Good luck

I never received the NOA1 for my husband's case in 2006..they gave me the USCIS Receipt number on phone and refused to send me the copy of NOA1.. two years later I requested the copy again and guess what they mailed it to me right there and then..their notice date says Sept. 22, 2008 on it and the Receive Date is still teh same that is August 16,2006.

You should be able to get the copy.. if not, dun worry you really dun need it.. do you have the email for the approval of the case?? If yes, print it out and keept it in your documents for your peace of mind.

I will take all advice, thanks. I just wanted a copy for my records. Do not know if I would ever need the NOA2 for anything in the future? Never received anything from USCIS (email or hard copy) except the NOA1. There systems still show as pending. And when I call them the front line agents also show as pending.

say 10 years down the road when my wife and kids want to become USCs, will I need it?

No, you won't need it. The NOA2 is really just an approval to start processing the application for a visa.
