Missplaced NOA 2

[Kanij 0]

So I'm currently in the K-1 Visa process. I received the NOA2 and the Interview date is set for October 28th in Bogota, Colombia for my fiance.

I've used the K1 Visa guide on this website with much success, doing exactly what it says to do.

My problem is this:

What to send to your fiance(e) once the I-129F is approved (Receive NOA2):

6. A copy of the NOA2 that you received in the mail.

My problem is - my original NOA 2 document has been misplaced, Its been thrown away, lost, or its somewhere and I can't find it. I called USCIS to ask if they could send me a copy, they informed me that I have to pay another 340 dollars for them to print a copy (Robbery if I say so myself) for a filing fee.

Is this document absolutely crucial to send to her for the Visa interview, or can she get by without it? I mean, We're in the system, the government already knows its been approved or there would not be an interview.

Any feedback is welcome, if anyone has any previous experience with interviews in Bogota, Colombia and if they recalled if they brought it, that would help. Thanks.

She might not need the paper really but it has the Alien number and she needs it in filling up some forms..im not really sure though..try to find it more,be positive and relax..

It's not needed for the interview.

However, it is needed for the AOS - so better find it or pony up the $.

Well, we have the case number and all that good stuff. I have the information they sent to my e-mail address.

But seeing how its definitely needed for the AOS I guess I'll have to refile for it, maybe not for the interview but eventually. Thanks for the help.

Should this document be misplaced/lost/never received you can file an I-824 to receive a duplicate copy via mail.

I hope you can find it and save all that $$$$

Yes, But the filing fee for the I-824 is 340$ :x

It's cool, If I don't find it in a few days I'll just pay for another one

There are a few cases I have seen where the person called, shed some tears/gnashing of teeth, and managed to get a copy sent for free.

But don't count on it...

Well, I was about to start yelling at the guy on the phone. But it's not his fault. Just don't quite understand the logic behind 340$ Pricetag on a copy of a document that could literally be reprinted in minutes.

But it is what it is, and if I have to pay for another one So be it. That's how the government works I suppose

I'm grateful for your responses, thanks for the information.
