Hi everyone,

I was wondering if anybody knows whether a request for an
update of automated status on the USCIS system might automatically
generate a paper copy of an approval notice.

Background: Just talked to
the No-Customer-Service Representative of USCIS regarding an NOA2 for a
129F from VSC which my ficance/husband never received (and which was
never updated online either). As expected, I was told that the only way
to go is filing an I-824. When I insisted on not wanting to re-apply for
something that was never received in the first place, she cut me off
with the words that in this case the petitioner should request an update
of the automated status.

Does anyone have a suggestion about whether it
is worth the effort to request this update?

Thank you in advance- and
good luck to all!

Rebecca.

I would suggest you take this story to your local Congressional
Representative instead. Representatives have a more direct connection to
USCIS, specifically to help their constituents straighten out such
messups.

Don't file an I-824. It would take forever to get processed, and costs
substantial fees to boot. And if the case status is really messed up, who
knows what would happen with the I-824.
