Hi all. I need some advice / assistance.
BACKGROUND
Entered US in 1997 on a TN visa (renewed it once). Transitioned to an H1-B visa. Applied for and transitioned to LPR, where I have remained for the past 9 years. Current age is 36.
LPR received in November 2001 at age 27. At that time I obtained letter saying I may need to apply for selective service, which I did, but was unable to due to age.
PROBLEM
I no longer have the Notice of Approval (Form I-797) for the H1-B document.
QUESTION
Without the above document, I'm not sure how I can prove to either USCIS or SSS that I was on a non-immigrant via during my time on the H1-B.
Selective service suggests I file a FOIA request with USCIS to try to obtain my status records.
BIGGER PROBLEM
Our interview is scheduled for June 30.
Any thoughts?
