Requesting H1b approval duplicate

[DSRB4U]

Hi all,

Is it possible that as a benificiary i can request a copy of h1b approval for myself from uscis . If yes please let me know the procedure.

Thanks in advance

There is nothing in the I-824 or its instructions that indicates only the original petitioner can request a duplicate approval notice-though I think that (original petitioner/applicant only) is the way it should be. I suppose a beneficiary can try requesting the notice for his/her own, as long as the beneficiary is willing to pay $340 filing fee. The worst thing that can happen is that USCIS returns your application and check.

Thanks for your response
yeah but that takes a lot of time accoring to the current time frames. is there any other way

You can try to call USCIS customer service but I'm pretty sure that is the only way. And there is no premium processing in I-824....
