Missing I-129S - I-797 as replacement?
Hi,
I am currently having a minor heart attack.
I travel to New York tomorrow on an L1-B visa. I have the visa inserted in my passport but it says to present an 'Endorsed I-129S at POE'.
I took 3 copies of this form to the Embassy where they took two copies from me. However, these were never returned to me. As such I do not have an endorsed copy.
Are these forms needed on entry? I have an approved I-797, can this be used instead?
Any replies would be massively appreciated.

Sorry, I should have been more precise.
I have the L1 visa sticker in my passport. The visa has my photograph, the issue and expiry date for the visa and my employer's name.
Also listed is a control number and the EAC receipt number of my visa application.
Under the annotation section it states 'Blanket L1 must present approved I-129S at POE'.
The issue being that when two copies of this form were taken at the Embassy along with a single copy of my I-797, they were not stamped or returned to me.
I therefore only have a single un-stamped copy of the I-129S and a copy of the I-797.
Thanks for your reply!
