Lost original I-797A Notice of Action
I'm in the process in getting an interview for my new H2b visa. Back in US after my H2B contract expired, I applied for a change of status to B2 visa so I won't be considered staying illegally. This is what the agency have told me to do. I stayed in US while waiting for the result of the application but eventually, I decided to go back to my home country. My application has been approved and they sent me an I-797A. Now, the owner of the place where I used to live in US have made a photocopy of the the I-797A and sent me the original one. The original one was now lost in the mail since it has been more than a month and I haven't received it. My interview is getting closer. I now have a photocopy of it with me. Will this be alright as a proof when I do my interview? If not, what do I need to do if I need to get a replacement copy? Can I do it here in my home country and how long would I need to wait for it? I need anyone's opinion on this. I don't want to get denied.
Thank you.
