Q.

I-797 approval notice not received from USCIS

Hello,I am on H1B,recently changed companies.New company did H-1B premium transfer for me and my wife.Our cases(H1/H4) were approved on 10/4/11.Till today,11/20,we haven't received our approval notices from USCIS.We moved from TX to CA due to job change,did a change of address with USPS,we even got a I539 application notice(not approval)to the newer address.Our company lawyer got a courtesy copy of our approval only for H1(not H4).But we did not get anything.I called USCIS,they said they'll get back in 15days.Meanwhile,we are applying for a H1 for my wife(COS from H4 to H1).Can we do this with just a copy of my H1+marriage certificate?Or do we need to have the H4 approval notice copy?This is urgent since the H1 cap is close to being reached for FY12,we need to file rightaway.Please advise
