Does anyone know what a I-797 Notice of Action Authorisation is?
Hello everyone,
Further to my last post regarding Spouse of E-2 Visa application, I have been sent a final checklist before the interview.
I have an interview with the US Embassy for a Spouse of E-2 Visa during the 2nd week in July. However, in the checklist of the documents to take with me, I have been asked for the following:
- "Photocopy of the I-797 Notice of Action Authorization for an adjustment or extension of status granted by USCIS for the principle and/or beneficiaries for a principle residing in the U.S. without a valid E visa"
Can anyone explain please:
1. What is the I-797?
2. How do I acquire this form?
3. Is this something that the USCIS provide me at registration?
4. Is it classed as an email that they send me, if so, what part of the application process, for example confirmation of interview?
5. I need to understand how I can acquire the form in order to photocopy it!
Thank you very much for your time.

Unless you are in the US already it doesn't apply to you. As it says, "for a principle residing in the U.S. without a valid E visa". So it only applies to those already in the USA under some other visa (e.g. student visa) who are adjusting to this category.
