Visitor Visa Extension Approval Letter Lost -Airlines Declined to board because of it

[akosanam]

Hi all,
My mom visited us in the year 2005. She got 10 year multiple entry visa. We extended her I_94 in Nebraska service centre. Her extension was approved. Unfortunately we didn't know that we would need the extension approval letter again and we didn't save it properly. My mom went to board the flight yesterday and Air India declined to check her in or issue boarding pass and told her that she needs to show extension approval letter. She went back home :-( Now, my question is how do I get a copy of extension approval letter? The above post talks about G_639 and when I called USCIS officer, he told me to file I-824. But, the problem with I-824 is that the estimated process time is 3 months. I want my mom to come in summer time so, that would be too long of a time to wait. Is there any quicker process? Please let me know your comments/suggestions/experiences.

Naren24, you didn't post to say if you got the copy of extension approval notice or not. Please let me know if going through G_639 worked for you and if you would recommend that process?

Thanks,
Anitha

Appreciate your help .
