A Few AOS Questions

[Jackson1975 0]

I am getting all paperwork together to submit for AOS for me K1 and my son K2 (8 years old)

I am a little concerned with a couple of parts

Firstly - my now husband did not receive an Notice of Approval from USCIS. He received Notice of Action to confirm recipt of payment.

The reason we knew it was approved was that we checked the status on line on a regular basis.

We then received the letter from the National VisaCentre advising that the case was being transferred to US Embassy, London.

Do you think not having the Notice of Approval will cause a problem, I will submit a screen print of USCIS website to confirm approval date as it is still showing.

Also

Am I right in thinking that I need to submit one I-485 for me and one for my son and then just - one I-824 to cover both of us but photocopied and attached to each application?

I will also be sending the I-693A supplement for both myself and my son

Your help would be greatly appriciated.

Thanks

I never received my approval notice due to moving to another state. I called USCIS and they sent me a letter stating my case was approved. It was not an I-797. I have seen posts of other individuals with the same problem. I read that others submitted online approval notices and mailed a copy of the letter from NVC. It depends on the person working on your case. The other option is to request another copy for $200 (I think that is CRAZY!!)

I can't advise, but I can feel your pain... I either lost my NOA2 or never received..I honestly don't remember. I'm gonna take my chances and send the letter I got from NVC saying they've received my approved petition, an e-mail from USCIS saying my case was approved, and possible write a letter explaining this, along with my petition case number (if you call the 800 number and enter the case number, it tells you it was approved on blah blah blah). I'm gonna pray I won't get an RFE, but I'm not holding my breath. I'm 90% sure they wont accept it.

We definately did not receive ours and because we checked everything online on a regular basis we didn't think to advise them that we didn't receive it as we already knew it was approved

Good Luck with yours

If anyone else has input I would be glad to hear from you

ICE2005,

As Darkchild wrote, my wife was one of those who submitted the NVC notice and print out of the on-line status for my petition in lieu of the Approval Notice that I never received. (Although, in my case, the on-line status said that I would be notified when a decision is made. It still says the same today, 3 years later.)

She also included a short statement explaining why she was submitting these alternate documents instead of the Approval Notice.
