Interview Letter - Not Like Original?

[rdxxs8513]

I just received my interview letter by mail today. However, it looks like a photocopy. It doesn't look like the original letter - unlike the case receipt and fingerprint notice which are in light green with a torch in middle as background.

Is this normal? Anyone has the same experience?

Yah, mine was the same. I don't know why. It was a last minute approval after I sued them. It's probably fine.

Hi rdxx,

Just FYI, my NOA is not like the original I-797 receipt and a 'photocopy' like letter. I think USCIS is cutting money printing it on cheap paper

My IL looks the same as yours, plain white paper. It's OK.

Good to know I'm not alone. Looks like they are saving money on paper.

USCIS Changes Look and Feel of Form I-797C

March 30, 2012

WASHINGTON - On April 2, 2012, USCIS will issue Form I-797C, Notice of Action, with a new look and feel. We will print the Form I-797C on plain bond paper. This change is estimated to save the agency about $1.1 million per year.

This form change will help reduce public perception that the Form I-797C demonstrates evidence of an immigration benefit or status. The top of the new Form I-797C will clearly display: “THIS NOTICE DOES NOT GRANT ANY IMMIGRATION STATUS OR BENEFIT.” The following is a sample of how this disclaimer will appear on the Form I-797C:

Good link, Joe, thanks. Wow $1 million! I wonder if they can afford to hire more employees now, or at least provide some snacks in the waiting room!

Good Job Bigjoe5! That's the official answer I'm looking for. Thanks!

Interesting that they are switching to cheaper paper. Good move.

Still, they do sometimes send photocopies of the notice. I don't know why.
