fiancé(e) petition approval notice

[Craneman 2]

My fiance has entered the country and we have married.

In filling out the form for AOS it asks for a copy of the K-1 approval notice,

This was left in Brazil, she has the Visa and is in the USA is this copy absolutely necessary for AOS?

I did no think we needed all the documents since she had her Visa.

Any help appriciated.

I don't recall them asking for that. I remember just sending along a copy of the Visa.

If in doubt, have someone fax you a copy of it now so you can file AOS and snail mail you the original too.

Jomo's girl, they do require it. They also charge you a lot of $$ if you need a replacement. Have someone from home mail you it.

I will complete the paperwork and submit it.

Will have the other documents sent here from Brazil in the meantime.

If they ask for it, when I recieve it will qail it to them.

Seems rather silly though, she has the Visa, has been admitted to the U.S., now they want a copy of their own papers which were required to receive the Visa in the first place, beuraucracy at its finest.

I agree, its a complete load of #######. Just get a fax of the original and submit that for now. Just make sure you have the original if asked for it.

I am confused, what id the approval notice, the NOA 2?

[Eric-Pris 1,606]

Yes, you need to send in a COPY of the NOA2, the I-129F approval notice.

From I-485 instructions (page 4):

B. Based on admission as the K-1 fiancé(e) of a U. S.

citizen and subsequent marriage to that citizen.

Attach a copy of the fiancé(e) petition approval

notice, a copy of your marriage certificate, and your

Form I-94.

Our government really does encourage entering this country illegally.
