Final approval notice comes from USCIS. It is called I-797 and is light greenish thick paper. DoS favorable recommendation is white paper and it mentions USCIS office your case was sent to. Which one is it?

I live in CA as well. But mine was a home address as I didn’t hire any lawyer for my waiver.

It is from department of homeland security,  it is form 1-797c notice of action. It states notice type: aproval notice from vermont service centre. It states that it is a courtesy copy, that they sent the orignal to my g-28 which is my lawyer
