Good morning

I have been reading the forums and searching, but do not see any comment on this. 
We submitted a I130 online for AOS from a B2 (the situation changed - no intention to immigrate on time of arrival for visit on B2).  As it is online, we can immediately access a PDF of the receipt notice. 

 

I have previously dealt with the USCIS for some work based visas for coworkers, so I am roughly familiar with the process.  It has been a few years though, but the receipt notice is nearly identical to what I remember on 797 notices in the past. 
The only difference I see (besides minor changes in formatting) is that it does not actually say 797 on the top of the page?

I have seen a lot of posts on here where people are missing their 797, but could not find anything discussing whether the online receipt notice is considered equivalent (even without the 797 header)

For example, the attached image is from the PDF receipt notice (personal information removed).  There is no 797 or USCIS header above this information like there is on the old paper 797s I've worked with in past

Any ideas?  Thank you

The online notices will not have the headers (Department of Homeland Security, U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services, Form I-797C, Notice of Action). You will also receive a hard copy one in the mail with those headers.

Thank you - that was what I was guessing.  Good to be confirmation! 
I am actually surprised I could not find a similar question to this from someone else before!

Also note the original is printed on watermarked pale green paper. Copies are just copies and not replacements for originals.


That’s for the approval notices… The receipt notices are on white paper without the watermark. :)

I was under impression I-130 NOA was printed on watermarked paper too. Is I-751 an exception then?

But again, it's been a while since I went through AOS, before the pandemic. Either I've forgotten or things changed.
