[quote The only thing you will need from your previous paperwork is the approval notice ( NOA2 ). You will english translations of the birth certificates, which I don't think is a problem for you.

What if the NOA2 was never received?

You will need this form to file for AOS. If you lost it or never recieved it, you will have to file form I-824 and pay $340 to get a replacement.

Wow! I never received it in the mail. I didn't even receive my NOA1 from way back. Is there anything I can do to avoid that hefty fee, since I never received anything?

Call the USCIS to see what they say. They might be in a good mood today and send you a new one for free, if not, you'll have to pay to get it.

I also had to call them to get my NOA1 since I never received it and they said "We'll send you ANOTHER one in 30 days". I told them that it was not another one since I never received the "first one" in the first place. Then when I finally received it 60 days after I called, it said "Replacement copy of Notice of Action". They still said it was a replacement no matter what I told them.

If you used a lawyer, check with him, they get a copy as well, in my case there was a notification I never received, I had to get a copy from my lawyer.

Good Luck ..... Ana

One thing that has me a little worried is that i made absolutely no copies to any of my paperwork and they keep everything...my worry is that i dont know what is needed for the AOS process... Anybody have info for me???

Byron, I forgot to tell you about this link, just be careful that everything applies to your case. Escrow down until you find AOS.

Good Luck ..... Ana

WOW!!!!!!!!!!!!

What a week it has been...we had the interview Monday and they said expect the visa in hand in about 8 business days ...well...she got it this morning!!!!!!!!! :dance::dance::dance:

The best Birthday present i have gotten in years!!!!!!!!!!!!!

The only thing that had me a little stressed is that as soon as she called me this morning and told me she got it i called my travel agent and booked flights fopr Tuesday....after booking them he called me back and said that tghere was a special coming up on the 29th ....what i will be paying for Tuesday's flights is $1200...on the 29th it would be $700 .... :blink::blink:

I think i rather have her here quicker but it would have been nice to save the $500 extra!!!!!!!!!!

Any Curramberos out there that recently interviewed? I'm trying to time Brianys' flight to the U.S. along with the arrival of the visa from DOMESA. We will be interviewing on the 15th, which is a Tuesday so I assume she will be receiving the visa in Barranquilla by Friday the 25th, which is 8 business days, so hopefully she should be able to fly out by the 26th.

Also, I'm searching for the link to the Colombia Club that's in Spanish. Anyone have the link?
