I recieved NOA 1 in jan'15 and NOA 2 in march through e-mail. Both noa 1&2 were also supposed to be mailed at home as mentioned in email, but i didnt recieve them. Both me and my wife(us national) live in pakistan and i am applying through cr-1. I wanna know wether they mail on us adress nentioned in form i130 where we intend to live or do they mail abroad in my country(pakistan)? and do i really need to have hardcopies of noa 1 &2 for further processing? They also havent notified me about forwarding of my case to nvc. Somebody please guide about recieving mail as i am really worried..... :clock:

When I petitioned for my husband 5 years ago we didn't need to use the NOA 1 or 2 for anything. It was just a notice telling us what was happening with our case. I filed from inside the USA so i did receive the papers in the mail. I don't know what happens if you live in another country.

I would suggest that if you don't find the answer you are looking for on visa journey that you call USCIS or NVC and ask them your questions. NVC is slow these days and it may take awhile for NVC to receive your case and get in touch with you.

They will mail to the address you gave on the i-130. Once the case is received at NVC, they will send you a letter saying that your case have been received and a checklist for your documents. NVC states that this document checklist should be included when sending your package to them. Once you're at NVC, you will complete a document for choice of agent and from then on out, you can receive updates via email.

It is still same. Hard copies are not required any where. If someone wants to keep it for record email is enough.
