Lost NOA2

[micman 0]

Does anyone know how to get a NOA2 for the AOS if you have lost the original one and no longer have the Application Receipt Number so that you can log on and copy it from the USCIS website? Thanks for any help.

My magic remedy: make an Infopass Appointment. You can ask an immigration officer these direct questions and you could probably have him print off something or give you a number.

It may be possible too to look at contacting the district office where your AOS is being processed. Alternately call the disinformation line and speak with an operator (there's a magic code to do it, I swear; weaving through that menu is AWFUL) and see if they can reissue it.

Good luck.

AOS hasn't been submitted yet, I need the NOA2 to submit it.

Oh! My error. If it's for your K-visa, then contact the service center.

I called the USCIS disinformation/misinformation line today and was told by someone that I would have to file form I-824 Application for Action on an Approved Application or Petition. The cost to file is $200.00, $30.00 more the the orginal cost of $170.00 filing fee for the I-129f and I will have to wait for 5 months to get it.

USCIS sure is F**ked up. Costs more and takes just as long to get the NOA2 copy as it did to get the K-1 visa in the first place. I will try to call USCIS where the petion was orginally processed tomorrow.

Just to add to how stupid the whole thing is I-824 requires that you include the receipt number for the orginal K-1 visa NOA2 plus the approval date. How am I supposed to know these when I don't have the orginal document anymore????

Isnt there a receipt number on the NOA1? I went through the process with the I-824 and it took about 3 months until we got our duplicate NOA2.

Man, that blows. Sorry.

I know you know this now, but as a caveat to others:

DON"T LOSE YOUR NOA2!!!!

Both NOA1 and NOA2 were lost.

Both NOA1 and NOA2 were lost.

Did you pay by check? You could contact your bank and get a copy of the check, maybe? The # is on the back....

CSC lost my NOA2 too (as in they lost it, or the mailman lost it, not me) for K-1. I've tried to no avail to resolve it (unless- I wanted to fork over $200) - if anyone finds some other resolution with that situation I'd love to hear about it.
