I-797 a.k.a NOA2?????

[PinayAko 0]

My fiance called the USCIS Customer Service line and the recorded message after he put in our Receipt # was that they sent out a I797 and to follow the directions on it. I looked up I797 and found out it was also known as a NOA2 or an Approval notice.... All hard copy goes to our attorney, unfortunately they moving their office now and asked for 1-2 days to look up in their file if they already got our hard copy. I havent received any email notification from uscis saying our case has been approved but iam hoping that our NOA2 is on our way now and hopefully NVC received it already. USCIS website says, our case is still pending and last updated 12-30-07.

Can someone tell me that I-797 is really NOA2???? Thanks........

I-797 is ANY Notice of Action. Could be receipt, approval or denial etc.

That's correct, it could be your initial notice of action from when they first received your petition. When I called they told me I had an RFE once, but what it actually was was when they first received our petition with the incorrect fee amount and sent it back (thanks poe officer for telling us the wrong thing).

However, at a glance your siggy says your noa1 was 204 days ago. You've certainly been waiting long enough that it COULD be your noa2. If you don't hear anything for a while (couple weeks) and your lawyer doesn't have info for you...maybe try calling NVC. They can look up your petition by the WAC number and tell you if they've received it. Then you'd know it was the noa2. You're gonna need that hard copy of the noa2 for your interview so I hope you get it!!
