Approval Notice Not Received

[Heike 0]

Hello everyone

I am totally confused. I already searched on here but was unable to find the answer.

I was approved the end of August and received an email that the approval notice was sent out on 31 August 2007. To this date I did not receive it. I did receive the GC and I797D. It says that "your application has been approved".

I also filed a complaint with our postmaster for stolen mail. I called USCIS and was told that we have to file some form (forgot the number). The filing fee is $340. The actual approval notice was not returned to them. The lady there also said the Notice would start with a A#. The mailer does have a A# on it; my A#

What do I do? Is the GC with the mailer (I797D) enough?

Greetings

I asked the same question a few weeks ago. I don't believe anyone ever receives a approval notice no matter how many emails you get telling you one has been mailed. I also don't believe an approval notice will be needed for any future petitions.

I surely hope so. I am freaking out here.

I am not willing to pay $340 for something I will never need again.

Thank you for the reply

If you have the 10-year card I certainly wouldn't worry about the approval NOA for it.

The 10 year Greencard and the letter it was attached to (I797D) is the approval letter... there is nothing else to come.. the form you are talking about is an I-90 and you file that if you did not receive the Greencard...

I received the same thing. No approval letter came from the mail although in my email they said they did. I think the letter where the card was attached is the approval letter. You have your GC so you're good to go. Oh, congratulations by the way!

I did receive an approval notice which is not the same as the card. I don't have the actual card yet, but a day after the e-mail "Approval notice sent", I got a letter "Congratulations!....Your petition has been approved" (something of the sort). So the card and the notice are two different things. But since you already got the card, I agree with the others- don't worry about the notice, you probably would never need it!
