My daughter has a priority date of March 15, 2001. She had the interview already but the consul asked her to bring back a form I-797 Notice of Action. I guess what they want to see was the one that says " your petition has been approved." I can't locate that form and I wrote them a letter and had my daughter print out something from uscis.gov that say her petition was approved but they didn't take it. She was told she could get a letter from the NVC stating that her petition was approved. I called the NVC 5 times and none of them wanted to give me a letter. Pls. help. Do I need to consult a lawyer now?

You are going to have to have a copy of the orginal approval notice.

Is possible to get a new approval notice, but you must pay for it. Can't remember the form number - lemme look it up -

you'll need the I-824 - see http://www.uscis.gov/portal/site/uscis/menuitem.5af9bb95919f35e66f614176543f6d1a/?vgnextoid=dd153591ec04d010VgnVCM10000048f3d6a1RCRD&vgnextchannel=db029c7755cb9010VgnVCM10000045f3d6a1RCRD

fee is $340.00 usd.

Good Luck !

(oh - if you don't want to pay, suggest you scour all, to find it)

omg! am also in f2b cat and i cant remember my dad recieving that approval letter. Is it really needed? How come some of the person i know was never asked for this approval letter?

When visa is approved it takes 7-10 working days for them to deliver it at your home address.
