We never got our NOA2s for either of our approved forms. I called CSC using the RFE trick after 30 days and told them we never recieved it. The person we talked to told us that their system shows they sent them so she can't send them again. She said contact my post office because she was sure they had been sent. (Funny in all my life I've never had things mailed to me that haven't arrived, but CSC seems to have this problem a lot.) Any ideas what we should do next?

Wife's visa journey:

03/19/07: Initial mailing of I-129F.

07/07/11: U.S. Citizenship approved and Oath Ceremony!

MIL's visa journey:

07/26/11: Initial mailing of I-130.

05/22/12: Interview passed!

Maybe you can call the FBI and report that your mail has been stolen and oddly it was only two pieces of USCIS mail that you know of for sure. And I'm not completely kidding you. Or call the local police first, then the FBI.

Ask for a statement or some type of official report/document, because you need it as proof that you never received your approval letters they swore they mailed to you. State that your wife will not be able to join you if they do not investigate the theft and make a report. Or point out an option is to ask CSC to send something they refused to do -- send a "copy." Then mention their time is being wasted due to USCIS not working with you.

But I am being serious in a way. I don't want to waste the FBI's time. But if USCIS knows 100% !!! sure they sent them, you just had mail stolen from a Federal system. That is very serious.

All I know is I would LOVE to give them as much hell as they have heaped upon us. (CSC that is.)

Hmm. I'm hoping they are just slow or something, but the more time that goes by the more I get nervous.

Does anyone know when I have to have the NOA2s? I don't think we need them for the K3 visa, but do we need them for the AOS or other stuff that needs to be done in the USA?

Hi, my situation is weird, does any one care to comment or clarify?

I called NVC last week. They told me that they have received the paperwork, and are going to be sending it to my lawyer within a week's time and from there my lawyer will send it to the consulate... Does that sound right? They said if you have a lawyer, he takes care of the steps after NVC receives the paper work. Any comments on this?

You will need NOA2 for I130 it for AOS for sure. I am still puzzled as to why they wouldn't resend it. Did they say that you should call back in say 30 days or 60 days if it hasn't arrived to have it resent? I would call back again anyway.

Cheers.

Jas, only your I130 was approved right? The RFE was for the I130? No more movement on the I129F? Was your I130 sent to NVC? If that is the case, they are probably saying that the lawyer (who is probably already designated as your wife's agent of choice) will receive the various NVC bills and forms and must take care of them (with your input and funds of course). Once the necessary docs are in place and fees paid, the case is considered complete and sent to consulate from NVC. You lawyer won't get the approved I130 (or I129F) to send to the consulate.
