October 08 K1 Filers

[Laura+Tom 2]

As Laura+Tom said earlier, it's only going to be for the major notices e.g. RFE or status changes. However some who have been issued K-1 already have commented that even after receiving an NOA2, they never got an email.

ruby_mtl: Although you could check daily and/or weekly for each touch, it is not so informative. It does indicate that someone has 'touched' or, in other words, physically opened or moved your petition, but that hardly indicates adjudication or faster processing.

From looking over timelines, it appears as though many petitions that currently are receiving NOA2 had filed approximately 4 to 5 months ago. Any others who filed before 5 and are just receiving NOA2 almost always had received an RFE (which is shown in timelines).

Perhaps in about 4 months from now, I'll check back at the USCIS website (ok, maybe 3 months ) however I already know that my case is not likely to be seen until then and the watched pot just doesn't seem to boil for me!

I bet you end up checking nearly every day! I know I do, it's addictive.

Very addicting! I told myself to would check once a month, but I can't help it! I even check it once in the morning, once in the evening sometimes....it's crazy!

What happened with the other two? I sent ours via UPS and they never scanned the delivery. They launched an investigation and told me two weeks later they "lost" it. In reality the VSC *DID* get it as they cashed my check.

Hope third time is a charm for you guys.

everyone else, still no cheque cashed

Beans,

Did you ever get your check cashed?

Well the first one we got told by an officer to send in a new one because they did not have us in the system.

2nd one.. over 1 month and still no check cashed, nothing at uscis.

3rd one.. Who knows, lets hope for the best, atleast now we are experienced, but our patience is soon running out.

But we just hope for the best, and I have a feeling that it will succed this time

Guess we have been very unlucky.

Thanks all

Glad someone started this thread!!

I filled last week on 10/7 and they cashed the check on 10/10, so I'm hoping for NOA1 soon. Quick question -- how do they send the NOA1 via email or regular mail?

Look forward to waiting and celebrating this process together.

You can check the NOA1 date online. If you have access to your cashed check image (available to me from my bank), you can get your receipt number which should be stamped on the back of the check. The number will probably start with the letters EAC followed by 10 digits. Go to the following link:

https://egov.uscis.gov/cris/caseStatusSearchDisplay.do

and enter this number. It should list the NOA1 date. I don't know if they'll email the NOA1 but you'll definitely receive one in the mail. Hope this helps.
