i've got NOA1 by e-mail after sending the I-130 but not the Hard copy

[malekkk 1]

hi guys,

my wife which is the USC has got the e-mail of NOA1 stating that the USCIS has received the application and routed to the California Service Center for processing and that within 7-10 days by standard mail we will receive our official Receipt Notice (Form I-797) with the Receipt Number. BUT my wife hasn't received the Mail yet, and it has been more than 20 days since she has got the e-mail. so normally she has got the mail now

but she wrote down a letter stating that she doesn't receive mails and to send her the mail to her P.O.Box and she wrote it down in that letter. i have 4 questions :

1- do you guys think that the USCIS didn't notice that letter and they've sent the mail to her address and not to the P.O.BOx ? then the Mail is probably lost in the post mails ?

2- if so, what can we do now for we get the hard copy of I-797 ? and what is its importance if we will not get it at all ?

3- do we need it for something ? like for the inteview in the embassy ? or it is not important to have it ?

4- my wife got an appointment after 2 weeks for she explain to them that they may put the wrong adress in their System, so that they need to change it with the P.O.Box one for the futur Mails.

is it good idea ?

thank you guys for any suggestion

Just call them and make sure the address is correct in their computer

she called them but they never gave her a direct answer

she has got an appointment for she go in person to the Local office of USCIS which is the one of Atlanta for she tells them to change the address by the P.O.Box one

BUT

what about that she has not received the Hard copy !!! do we need it for the interview in the embassy or something ? or it doesn't matter if we don't have it ?

You will not need the hard copy of the NOA1 for the interview.

Direct answers are given by ISOs. Ask yer wife to get an ISO.

No clue about ISO? Use the advanced search feature here - search term = 'ISO'

Good Luck !
