Why do you need duplicate approval notice? When your case is approved, then it should go straight to NVC, then you can carry forward your process.

Well the websight said the notice was mailed on dec 27 2012....and to follow any directions noted on the I-797c. As I dont know specifically if there was any "directions" Am I wasting time? OR......does the NVC send somthing in the mail to let you know what to do next.....like AOS...or whatnot..

[spn1025 38]

well if it was approved on Dec 27th, you can call NVC and give them your USCIS case number to see if they've received your case.

Probably like a month after you get a case# you will get a email stating NVC assigned you a case#. That's why the NVC filers thread always says call.

If you were approved you should have been calling NVC after 1 week of NOA2 have you yet.

Why do you need a notice for anyway?

Well anyway call NOW soonest!!

Also go to the NVC fcilers thread read Post #1 and #2 so u know what to do. ASAP.

whoa.

for a CR-1/IR-1 visa - the I-130 approval notice is never needed.

stop stressing.

if you wish to chase it down, in about 3 weeks, call into USCIS, get an ISO, and ask:

--Do you have any returned postal mail pieces on me?

If the answer is yes, go over the address with the ISO, giving the correct address on you.

Tape a name card inside of your postal box that has your name and yer spouse's name plus all derivations thereof.

Good Luck !

You might want to verify your address the you gave them if you haven't received your NOA2 yet. I bet you same thing happen to you also.

My case.

Received approval on Jan 4, 2013.

Got NOA2 hardcopy Jan 11, 2013 in the mail.

When I received my I-797 it was saying BS stuff like my daughter is in the US already and should file for I-485(Adjustment of Status) <-- really really wrong. My daughter was never in the US.

Second paragraph reads that if my alien relative decides to apply for a visa outside US, that I need to file for I-824(Application for Action on an Approved Petition) <---same thing as topic starter.

So Jan 18, I called NVC and got told they don't have the case yet. I have to wait 15 BUSINESS days to submit an INQUIRY(really?).

Called USCIS Jan 28 to see ####### is going on. Got helped and they said they forwarded the case to NVC and should wait 30 days(wth!). I asked to them verify that they send my files to NVC and got a service request to get another NOA2 because apparently the NOA2 I originally received was a TYPO on their end. Hopefully I get the NOA2 soon and NVC case. But I will plan on bugging them since its already over 1month.

Forgot to add.

Jan 31, 2013.

Emailed NVC Inquiry to find out what's going on. Scanned hardcopy of I-797 as attachment to email.

Feb 6, 2013

A minute before I typed this reply:) Called NVC and was told they have the case in the building, just waiting for it to be entered in the system. Hooray.

woo hooo!!!.....As I said,,,,got things under control now.....have not yet recieved the noa2 hard copy but as another reader said......if your approved,,,do you really need the damn thing....I guess I am just gonna continue dealing with NVC and go through the process as it comes now. I will not continue to worry about the hard copy of the Noa2.

I am in the same situation, I received an NOA2 and I did not realize it was saying my wife will get adjustment of status as if she is here when she is not.

I called USCIS and the guy filed a service request and tol me to wait for a letter in 10-14 days.

Was this what they told you?

Thank you so much!
