Is this NOA#2, too fast???

[Pangga&Shine 7]

always pay attention to the form and what is said. Strange it would generate another I797C... I would contact hte USCIS and verify the reason for a second notice. If the second notice is not on security paper (green sheet or something similar) I would be looking for RFE or documents needed or something. Generally, RFE letters are not on security papr. The I-797c and I-797 look very very very similar. However, the I-797 approval notice

Check out this page for images and differences:

It's sad to think an RFE is coming. But how come on the 2nd I-797C there's given A# (Alien#)?? Don't you think its positive indication?

your situation is hard to say. You note the second I-797C is not on security paper. And looks nothing like a Notice of Action. It could be a duplicate notice. But either way I would be on the phone to USCIS asking what the letter I got in the is, and what it means. Also asking if there is an RFE, or is there a hold while checking evidence, or is the case pending on a desk, or is an ajudicator assigned to the case. You could have approval, you could have RFE or you could have nothing. The case could have moved from one ajudicator to another causing a second issuance of the first notice of action.

But calling UsCIS does not hurt. the key is asking is the case approved, or still pending approval, and if there is a request for evdence is an issue with ajugication. Ask for facts only. Best way to get answers.

Yeah Pangga will definitely call on Monday. Today's Sunday here in Philippines and Saturday night in his time. I just hope its not something for an rfe.. Thanks guys, we'll come back here and let you know what ever that is.

God bless.

Hello! My NOA1 came on a simple piece of paper!!!! I did not get the traditional USCIS receipt!!! Why is that?

[JC&Evelin 5]

I received my NOA1 on a simple piece of paper it looks like a copy of the original. Why I did not get the traditional more professional and secure I-797C?

Who knows its like why are some getting the text and email NOA1 and $OA2 and some like me don't and just get the hardcopy, despite filling out the form to get such notice.

Maybe it was just a bad copy and no one noticed. Its a shame cuz I plan to frame my husbands I love it. Sorry

Thanks Now I see why I got my NOA1 like that

We got our approval last April 5, but it seems we still got the "old form."

[didopage 337]

From what I understand from the link you sent, only I-797C (=NOA1) changed. NOA2 is a I-797.

Thanks for the link reginakrys. I wonder why we got I-797C twice and on 2nd it has A# (Alien#) but without the magic word "Approved".. Hope there's someone out there with same experience. Ugghhh wish its monday already so we can call USCIS..

[jkb11 26]

I got a rejection notice on watermark paper, form I-797, with my A# (I am the beneficiary of I-129F). I hope that is not your case. Make sure it doesn't say anywhere that your application has been rejected.

Cheers!

Mr Pangga here,

I just received a Second I-797C (Notice of Action). this looks very similar to my First I-797c (Notice of Action) Received Date 15 March and Notice Date 19 March.... This SECOND I-797C has added the AXXX XXX XXX and the same Received Date 15 March but also has NOTICE Date 20 April. Both from CSC.

this link says NOA#2 (I think) http://www.visajourney.com/faq/k1k2visa-I129f.html#3.1

Sunshine is peeing her pants right now with JOY & Happiness. I hope she is right, but seems WAY-TOO-FAST for me. Also I DID NOT ask for expedite.

What do you guys think???

TY God Bless

BEST THING U DO IS CALL THEN AND ASK MY FRIEND!!!!!!
