NOA2 for Interview

[ultimoxo 0]

I am reading that I need a copy of the NOA2 for the interview. Has anyone ever asked the USCIS for another copy of their NOA2? I have misplaced mine and will need to request another copy. How long did it take if you have done this before?

Haha, you've got to be kidding.

Wow, really?

Mine got lost in the mail, and I thought it'd take me a few weeks at most and $20 to get a replacement.

Ouch! I can't believe it's more expensive than the filing fee!

No kidding just follow the link to the USCIS site and check out the fee.

Thanks, Angilla. I hope so too.

Yu, unfortunately, I know you are not kidding. I was only hoping.

Can anyone point me to where I read that the NOA2 is needed at the interview? I just looked at the checklist from the embassy and the NOA2 is not on their list of required documents for the interview. I may have missed it by choice.

It helps when people completely fill in the details of their profile, like Immigration Status Benefit filed for: K1, K3, DCF, AOS, Other, Place benefits filed at where you filed for benefits (TSC, NSC, Local Office, etc) Local Office List the local CIS office nearest you. Country of non-US Fiance / Spouse / Family Member Country.

Profiles that say N/A, N/A, N/A drive me crazy!

What type of visa are you interviewing for? K-1, K-3, IR-1, CR-1? I can give you a better answer.

Sorry about that. I filled it out. I am applying for a K1 visa. I am interested to know if my fiance needs the NOA2 for the interview at the embassy where the K1 is granted. Everything I have looked up in regards to NOA2's and interviews refer to the AOS interview. The only place I see where it says the NOA2 is needed is here on the K1 visajourney guide page. My packet 3 checklist to the embassy does not include the NOA2 as a required document. So, if anyone sees a general requirement for the NOA2 at all embassies, I would like to check it out. I am currently thinking it is a embassy-specific requirement. Any thoughts?

This is so frustrating for me. I mean, I never even SAW my NOA2 and I have to go and pay $200 to get another one? How is that my fault? How is that justified that I have to shell out the money?

Bah. There will be a call going into CSC tomorrow.

Do they need the original or will a copy do? I am afraid of losing the original in the mail if I send it to my fiancee. Payato

If you actually have it, I think first we need to establish it as a defnitively required document at the foreign embassy for the K1 visa interview before you consider sending it anywheres out of your hands. I have read in some posts that it is a "listed" requirement for the AOS interview, but some posts have said they didnt actually need it then. There may be hope yet for those without NOA2's.

Thanks for updating profile!, K-1 visa interview should not need the actual NOA2 form at the interview do you have a copy of it? A copy of it will be satisfactory at visa interview. You will need origional at the time of AOS or Removing conditions interviews.

4.3.6)...What should I bring with me to the interview?

A...You need everything from the checklist, of course, but you also need originals of everything that was originally submitted as a copy, even with the I-129F petition (except the US Citizens passport and the original I-797 approval notice). Original birth certificates, divorce or death decrees, and originals of any documents to support the I-134 fall into this category. The Consulate has the right to ask for the original of any document, so best be prepared.

No, I don't even have a copy. Has anyone seen anywhere that a copy is satisfactory (other than here on the visajourney pages)? That makes me think that I need a copy. With the caveat that the adjudicating officer at the interview can ask for basically anything to stall the case, I can't find any direct mention of even having a copy of the NOA2 for the K1 Visa interview. I do understand that it's better to have it all and they can request your 3rd grade transcripts if they want, but I am just looking for some direct request for even a copy of it. Because I don't have it, and with what I am seeing so far, I will probably not pay the 200 dollars and delay my interview for months to wait for it. If I were to see a direct request for a copy or the original, I would consider it then. So, I would say as of now, it doesn't seem like the NOA2 document (I-797) specifically is a major deal at the K1 visa interview stage. Anyone agree with that statement?

I do say it would be better to have.
