Why Would
I Need a Duplicate Approval Notice?
You may wish
to ask for a duplicate notice of approval if you have found out
that your USCIS
application or petition has been approved and:
- You need
a new copy to replace a lost copy, or
- You never
received the original notice of approval.
For example,
if your petition to bring a relative to live in the United States
was approved (Form I-130), but you lost the original notice, you
may ask for a duplicate notice of approval. You should plan to make
a copy of the approval notice for your own records, especially if
the visa may not be issued for a long time.
How Do I
Request a Duplicate Notice of Approval?
You must file
USCIS
Form I-824 (Application for Action on an Approved Application or
Petition) with the appropriate fee at the USCIS office that approved
your original application or petition. You must file Form I-824
while the original application or petition is still in effect. Detailed
information is provided in the instructions for Form I-824.
Forms are available
online, or by calling
1-800-870-3676, or by submitting an online request to receive forms
by mail. Further information on forms, filing fees, and fee
waivers is available in Forms,
Fees & Filing Locations.
