Is the NOA2 sent to both beneficiary.and petitioner?

[marriedtomrg 141]

I was wondering if USCIS sends the beneficiary the NOA2 once the I-130 is approved. I got mine as the petitioner. I was trying to see if the A-number is assigned at this time or not until the green card is issued.

It goes to the petitioner. Then when NVC has received the case they send the beneficiary a welcome letter with instructions for the next step   If i recall correctly there is an A number for the beneficiary on the NOA2

The only A number on the NOA2 I received was mine. My beneficiary (mom) didn't have one.

That's cool. My own journey started in 2009 and back then I knew what my A-number was because I got a NOA2 with it on there.

 

Been telling my mom that her copy should be on the way to her but it's been a month and she still has not received hers. But I didn't know that for sure since it has been a while.

 

Filling out the I-864 for her...just didn't know at what point/where in the process she knows what her A number is and where we can locate it (if it is even issued before the GC)

No, the USCIS does send the NOA2 to the beneficiary in the Philippines.

Good to know. I just turned in my I-864.
