Hi everyone,

I'm happy to report that my K-1 petition was approved on May 3rd!

However, it is now May 11th and I have yet to receive my NOA2 via regular mail. There was only a 3 day gap between my NOA1 notice online to receiving in via mail. I'm only concerned because I think I'm supposed to send a copy of my paper NOA2 to my fiance for her interview.

I'm wondering if others that got their approval around the same time are in a similar situation. If so, please let me know so I don't worry. Also, does anyone know if it is possible to get another paper NOA2 issued if there was a problem and the original was lost?

Thanks!

(Sorry for the unintelligible subject line...

Ours took nearly two weeks to arrive. I don't think you actually need a copy of it anyway for the interview as the file can't be opened by the embassy until USCIS has contacted them and told them it is approved. I would just call them Monday if you have not received anything to put you mind at rest.

Need a copy for Moscow? I don't think every Embassy/Consulate needs to see it. After all it was approved before being sent to NVC and on to the embassy.

Yes, it is important you recieve it. As ridiculous as it sounds, make sure you get your NOA2 in the mail.

We were also approved on 05/03 and I still haven't received the NOA2 in the mail. I'm trying not to freak out but based on the fact that we didn't receive the NOA1 until 1 week before we were approved (and that's only because I raised hell with USCIS), makes me uneasy. :huh:

First that I have heard anyone say this. My fiance is here now on a visit and she will return with all of the relevant forms and letter from me but because we decided origionaly to use the help of an attorney I don't have the original NAO2, just the copy that they USCS sent to me.

So....

Does she need to take the origional NOA2 with her????

I also received the approval emails on May 3rd and I still haven't received the NOA2 in the mail either.

I did receive the hard copy letter in the mail from the NVC yesterday (Sat.) stating they had sent my packet onto the Foreign Consulate! ;)

I do hope the NOA2 gets here soon so I can send it onto my fiance for his interview!

Anybody get there hardcopy yet?

I called USCIS again today. They're insisting they sent it. And now I have to send $200 and fill out the I-somthing or other form. The lady told me that their computer system shows that it was not returned to them.

Between May 3rd and May19th, I didn't recieve any mail from USCIS. I've since gone on a long vacation to visit my family, since me and my fiancee will move across country once we get married for work and school. But I had my mail forwarded to my family address, again nothing. I spoke with gentleman at my local post office who said USCIS mail may not be able to be forwarded. When I spoke to the lady at USCIS she said that the letter was "forwardable," but it it was returned it would be recorded in their system. I don't think they have a clue, but though I'd share incase it was helpful to someone else.

I was PM-ing with another VJ-er in the same boat. Neither of us have hard copies yet either. I called USCIS again (the 1-800 number on the NOA1) and followed what I had done before - the address change prompts. Got an operator who said it was $200 or nothing.

But then I did what the PMer recommended (don't know why I didn't the first time) - call and follow prompts for an RFE received. that kicks you to a CSC operator (not standard USCIS operator). i explained and said "i don't have $200!!! that's more than the filing fee!" he said that sucked and basically went through and "changed" my address from "#" to "APT #" and said that gave him the system message that it had been regenerated for printing. He said wait a few days and see what happens. So i'm waiting until the end of next week to make further calls.

this squares with the USCIS operators indication that if you had changed addresses, they could send a second copy (or, ahem, a first) - otherwise, pay up.

So, try calling the USCIS line, and follow the RFE prompts and hope for a reasonable, helpful CSC operator!
