NOA2 for Adjustment of Status package
Hey all,
Wondering if someone can help me out here - it appears my fiance misplaced the NOA2 approval from the I-129F petition, and we can't find it. I've done a bit of research around this as I was under the impression this is required for the AOS package - but it turns out a fair amount of people have had success without it, and instead screenshotting the USCIS case checker online with the approval notification on there. Anyone got any insight? Kind of a weird thing they'd ask for, as I would assume the actual K-1 visa in of itself is proof you've been approved?

... would you include alternative documentation...
... would you just add the photocopy of the passport...

You should also have a copy of the approved I-129F form from when the London Consulate first got in touch with you, but as the others have said, the K1 visa in itself should be enough.

Yeah I do have that - I pulled it out last night. Has a big 'Approved' DoHS stamp on it. I've also read that other people book InfoPass appointments and get the USCIS field office to print something out - not sure if that's a bit of an overkill though, as the lack of an NOA2 probably won't even be RFE'd.

Re: NOA2 for Adjustment of Status package
Just one more question, though, we've established the NOA2 isn't needed - how would you address this in the package? I know earlier you said you wouldn't include alternatives as the K-1 itself is proof, but would you just not make a mention of the NOA2 at all when assembling the AOS package?
