Hi, I am Israel and my wife and I are married. We got married on Feb 14, 2008 in the Philippines. I just filed for my I130 about two weeks ago and I still got no response from them yet. I look on the UPS site and it states that my papers did get received at the Chicago PO box. I really hope it did not get lost or anything. How long does it normally take for them to send the NOA1 and when I do get that NOA1 in the mail will I have a confirmation number on how to check on my paper work and what to do next. I am really new to this Visa Journey stuff and my wife knows more than I do. She wants me to be on here a lot more so you will probably get to hear me asking a lot of question within the next few weeks. Any good advice I can take from the people who will read this on what is the best ways to get my wife here and what should I do. It's so hard being far away from each other and it's having an affect on both us. We are going for the CR 1 and my father is going to the joined sponsor for us. Does anyone have any good details to help me with. Whatever that works I want to hear about it. I got many questions so give me a holler back. Thank you and God bless.

A month for me as well. Dont worry it'll be knocking at your door before you know it. You must be prepared for the NOA2 waiting time. Processing time for the approval takes way longer than the receipt. And this site will surely give you an idea on what to expect. Welcome to VJ! :D

(F) ... I feel the pain as what Kath is feeling right now.

I was just talking with her past hour, and she indeed told me what's goin on.

As couples, we indeed have misunderstanding due this stoning to death process, but just hang on guys, we will have our time soon. You should let her feel that no matter what happen, that you are with her in this process. Show some effort that you indeed care what will be the next step after NOA1 and so on and so forth, don't let her do all the work. Read with her, discuss things with her, ask and find out the answer together.

My husband and I haven't gotten that $%#$%^$& NOA1... and we are looking forward to it this week.

If your papers wasn't deliver it will be sent back to you, but it was received, so let's all be patient... and I'm getting good at it.

My prayers are all with us!

Got our NOA-1 after 19 days, so relax, you will get it.

FYI--A few people didn't get their NOA-1 at all but did receive their NOA-2.

The one is not the problem its the NOA2 that takes prob up to 6 months, no need to think hurry now its going to be a little wait. Read all the instructions and short cuts listed on here and be ready once it can go on to the NVC as this will go quicker if your prepared, but for now its just a wait. Also one way to know is if your check has been cashed and you will see the number on the back.

read some of the timelines and you can see the differences in times received

I MAY NOT BE WHERE I WANT TO BE BUT IM SURE NOT WHERE I WAS
