NOA2 question

[busycharlie 0]

I never received the hard copy from them but I printed out the approval from their web site and I also have an email from them notifying me of the approval. Is this good enough to submit when we do the AOS? I sure hope so because they want $340 just to print another one and mail it.

Thanks,

Charlie

Hi Sand,

We got approved on May 3rd, 2007. More than likely the postman put in the wrong mailbox. USCIS doesn't really that we didn't receive it as long as I pay the $340 to get a copy which I'm not going to do. This is insane to ask someone to pay that amount for someone to print and mail something that they already have on their computers.

My husband misplaced our NOA2 for the I-129F and we had to send in the I-824 form and pay $200 to get one sent to us. I just looked on the form on the USCIS website and the fee still seems to be $200 so why are you going to have to pay $340? Also, have you tried having your fiance call USCIS or make an infopass appointment (don't know if they can do that for I-129F's) and let them know you never got your NOA2, that way, they might say ok, we'll send you another one (make sure they have your correct address). If they refuse to send you one, I don't think you have a choice in requesting a new form and paying for it. It sucks and is frustrating as hell, but that's the government for ya.

Good luck.

Oh and if you have to send for one, do it soon because it took them over 4 months to send us ours.

Karly-n-Bruce,

Someone in authority told you that you "had to"? Or you did it because you thought you had to?

I saw the fee rate on the new rate sheet that goes into effect on July, 30th this year. I'm going to try to call them one more time and hopefully I get a different person that is a little more cooperative.

No one in authority told us we had to. The I-485 asked for a copy of our NOA2 for the I-129F and we lost it, so we did what we thought was necessary in order to get a copy of it. I don't know what would have happened had we not sent it in or sent in a printed copy of our "online status".

Wow. We thought paying $200 was bad for a piece of paper, $340 is ridiculous!

Thanks for the clarification. You did have to send something, and an explanation of "we lost it" might not go over to well. But your situation needs to be distinguished from the sitauation where 'we never received it'.

Recognize that you are not paying for the piece of paper - you are paying for the cost of having to retrieve the records and then generate a new piece of paper. I don't know how long it takes for someone to do that but I agree that $340 seems like a lot for what it should take even when applying a fully loaded labor rate.
