Different Types of I-797

Recommended Posts

i'm happy to hear that there are some people who have received an I-797 letter.

however, i would like to point out that there are different type of I-797.

here is a table that explains the different types.

Form Number Description

I-797, Notice of Action Issued when an application or petition is approved.

I-797A, Notice of Action Issued to an applicant as a replacement Form I-94.

I-797B, Notice of Action Issued for approval of an alien worker petition.

I-797C, Notice of Action Issued to communicate receipt of payments,

rejection of applications, transfer of files,

fingerprint biometric, interview, re-scheduled

re-opened cases, etc

I-797D Accompanies benefit cards.

I-797E, Notice of Action Issued to request evidence.

I-797F, Transportation Letter Issued overseas to allow applicants to travel.

i guess the reason why i am writing this is because i dont want anyone to be mislead about the Notice Letters. please when you receive your I-797 letter, please see if there is a letter behind the last 7.

a straight I-797 means that your application has been approved which i would think would happen after your EAD gets approves.

the I-797C means that they have received your application, payments or any other step in your application progess
