Original NOA2 Hardcopy for Embassy?

 Share

Hi all,

I'm wondering if we'll need the original hardcopy of the NOA2 for our Embassy appointment? I live in South America with my fiancé and our NOA2 went to my parents' house in the States. They scanned it and emailed it to me and I have printed it out here. Is that good enough? Or will the embassy want the 'actual' thing? I'm nervous about it taking too long/getting lost in the mail, but don't want to pay a TON for FedEx. My printout is clearly not the original, but it's perfectly legible and looks just like the original would.

TIA!

No, you won't. But you want to keep that NOA2 safe and handy because you'll need it to apply for AOS later down the road . USCIS charges you about 500 dollars to get a replacement copy and they also take like 3 months to send said copy .

You should complete your profile too, so we can assist you better good.gif

EDIT: They shouldn't ask you for your NOA2, but if you feel better having a copy.. by all means, take one.

It doesn't hurt to bring copies, but originals of the NOAs are not necessary.

NOA2 is specifically asked for during AOS.
