kumar_y Posted October 29, 2014 Report Share Posted October 29, 2014 If you have the I-797 you need apply for the duplicate copy for sure. Ask your employer to apply for I-824 form Link to comment
anilbeereddy Posted October 29, 2014 Report Share Posted October 29, 2014 You need to have an original of I-797.. Initially you would be issue a copy of I797A which is an approval notice and does not have the I-94 on it later another copy would be I-797C which is confirmation and comes with I-94. These document would be sent out by USCIS to your attorney or employer.. so check with them and get the second copy which should be good. Link to comment
Sum4105 Posted October 30, 2014 Report Share Posted October 30, 2014 Yes. Original I797 is needed for H1b interview... Link to comment
anynemous Posted October 30, 2014 Author Report Share Posted October 30, 2014 Thanks all for inputs. I checked with my attorney and he mentioned that, copy of I-797 is enough. Everything is in PIMS database and all consulates have online access to all these information. He suggested to go with copy of I-797. Link to comment
