KEEP YOUR NOA2 (K-1 APPROVAL), YOU WILL NEED IT FOR AOS

Just a tip for K-1 applicants.

When you receive your NOA2, you KEEP it because it is asked for when adjusting status (AOS) once the beneficiary arrives and you marry. Some people have had problems because they did not have it to send with their AOS.

In fact, you should keep ALL correspondence from USCIS/immigration. You never know when something will be asked for.

Yeap, good advice. :)

I don't remember exactly how much but if you need to order a second NOA2, it's quite expensive. And I'm not sure if you are able to get another one such a long time after you got your first NOA2.

Keep everything they send you, and make copies of everything you send to them. Better be sure than sorry.

I will second that and add that you need to keep a copy of everything you EVER send, recieve, give or present to anyone in this process. Always make a file copy for yourself. Get plenty of "originals" of anything, including marriage certificates, passport photos, etc. It is always easier to get an extra copy or two when you are there, than trying to get them later. As each "phase" completes, package up your copies and keep it for posterity. Put this away in the back of the closet for your heirs to dispose of.

agreed on keeping NOA2 and keeping it in a fire proof safe.... another copy will cost an arm, leg, and maybe first born? $300+ for a piece of paper... you decide..

this might be consulate specific? but if that paper needs to travel overseas, then you should put it in the fire proof safe and send it, and put a GPS tracker on that safe...

Great Advice! :lol:

Smacker look at your Consulate, and see what they require, most don't require the NOA2 it would be like sending 1million pounds Using Royal Mail. Not worth it if you don't need it.
