Can't find the old thread about the May 3 approvals who were waiting the dang hard copies of approval notices (tried search and google, though I'm sure someone else will find it!).

I got home today to find the hard copy of the NOA2 in the mailbox. It arrived a quick 2 months and 4 days after we were approved on May 3 and the day after my fiance had his interview at the London Embassy. Better late than never!

I had tried the "RFE" shortcut to speak to a CSC staffer at the beginning of June (after 30 days elapsed after approval), but nothing came. I finally gave a quick call to my congresswoman's office to see if they could help (mainly because I was scared of facing not just AOS fee increases, but an extra $200 for a "replacement" copy of a document I'd never received to begin with!). And that same day, fwaguy (I think) posted a link to a document published by USCIS fessing up to the computer snafu that left a lot of May approvals without hard copies. I used the email there to send a note saying "what's up?"

I got a call last week from the congressional office saying they heard back from USCIS that the notice was resent on June 27 - which would make sense with today's delivery. So who knows what finally made it mail out, but it's here now, so that's cool.

YAY!!!! At least it made it before you filed AOS.

Jeeze, they helped me out a lot! Stupid CSC...

I know, right?

They document was a reprint because it says "June 27, 2007" under "Notice Date." It also says it's valid from "04/25/2007 to 08/24/2007" which implies we were actually approved before we even knew we were (and that it would have "expired" before we'd have guessed it would have, had we never received the hard copy).

shrug- silly CSC.

Same with ours... Ugh, stupid CSC!

The whole process is flawed. Andre received his packet 3 at his house in Jamaica a FULL month after he had been in the U.S.
