Qq - I recently noticed that I am missing an old (not current) i-797 approval notice. I have the scanned (soft) copy but not the original notice. Do we need older notices for any future filings (e.g. green card, AOS filing, naturalization etc.)? Wondering if I should order a copy or not needed.

Yes you need the approval notice demonstrate maintenance of lawful status. Your green card application should include a photocopy. You’re unlikely to be interviewed for an EB green card but if you happen to be, then simply explain the original was misplaced. If you really want a replacement, you can file an I-824 ($465) but it might not be necessary.

Don’t sweat it. I retained only the notice numbers for everything except 485. I am a naturalized citizen now.

PERM question.

Hi everyone I work at EY and have 3 YOE. EY started the perm process after 2.5 years, the role is for manager. It is standard that managers have 5 years of experience, does this mean that the green card will only be available in 2 years from now when you typically make manager (maybe 1 if early promoted)? From my understanding I have another 6 months with the PWD, Recruitment and then filing items, so it will be ready relatively soon. Just trying to make heads or tails of it.
