my fiance got here in the US on nov 16, 2012 thru K1 visa. we got married on january 15, 2013. now we are ready to file for adjustment of status. the thing is, we never received the hard copy of the petition approval, I797 or what you refer as NOA2. i've been calling USCIS before but they just made me wait and wait but i never got the i797 in the mail. my husband already received his Social security card and we already have most of the necessary paperwork for AOS except for the i797. However,, we have a copy of the email notification saying our petition is approved and my husband has a copy of the letter that we received from NVC saying they received the approved petition. How are we going to file for AOS without i-797?? please advise. thank you.

I would just include a copy of the email and the NVC letter.. and maybe mention a brief comment on the cover letter why you are including those instead of NOA2. I don't even understand why they would need NOA2 when we are sending them copy of the VISA that is in the immigrant passport.....
