Maybe because we do not understand the question. Do you need the 2nd approval for what?

YMMV

My petition was recalled due to IMBRA, but my fiance had not received an interview appointment, he had just returned the pkt 3 checklist. I never received a second NOA2, just a letter from NVC saying that USCIS had reaffirmed the petition and sent it back to the embassy in Paris. My fiance had his interview Oct 4, and they didn't ask for a new approval letter (second NOA2), or to see the first one for that matter. They only asked for a handwritten letter from me saying I am still free and willing to go through with the marriage. I don't think you need to worry. I've read numerous other posts in the past saying you didn't need the NOAs until the AOS appt. B)

nannygirl,

No K-visa application or interview can take place without an approved petition. If an approval was called back for re-evaluation (e.g. for compliance with IMBRA), a re-issue or re-affirmation (call it what you will) of the approval is required before the visa process can procede.

anyone who had there interview cancelled then rescheduled because of IMBRA do you need the new approval or is the old one ok??

I can only share my experience about the NOA2. My petition was originally approved Mar 31, subsequently recalled and "reaffirmed" - NVC's term, not mine. I never received a second NOA2 from CSC, just a letter from NVC saying petition was reaffirmed by USCIS and sent back embassy in Paris. This was not a problem at the interview in Paris. ;)
