Shoot! We put the email notification right under the cover letter. I hope they see it! I'm a little worried about the NOA 1 as my American fiance is still in Canada until the 26th. He's been here on a work visa for 2.5 years. We made the current, moving and new address (in Texas) dates very clear so hoping it'll be understood. Looking for an email notification or check cash on Mon or Tues.....fingers crossed!!

Hey People! I wouldn't stress over the e-notification form. When they sent our package back they had checked every single paper in that package... we know cuz it had a little e-sign on each and one of them. We placed the notification in the lasttt part... and they sent it behind the green "special atention" cover that they send with rejections, and before our actual cover. So they check everything. No worries!! =)

I'm so glad we are more each day, that means we can keep each other posted with more info!! =)

God bless!

Diana.

We just sent our package January 10 in Chicago Lockbox via Fedex and was received January 12 signed by D. Nesbit.

@maggiemax: Unfortunately, you're in the wrong forum. This is the forum for K-1 Fiance(e) visa case filing and progress reports. You might want to check under the CR-1/IR-1 forums and see if there's a thread for folks doing spousal visas there. Good luck!

Shoot! We put the email notification right under the cover letter. I hope they see it! I'm a little worried about the NOA 1 as my American fiance is still in Canada until the 26th.

I wouldn't worry yourselves or stress about it. The fact is, even if you have the most organized application in the world, they are going to open it up and re-organize it in whatever way they need it for processing. As long as it's in there, they'll see it. (Hopefully. :whistle:)

As for the timing, it looks like (from the all of two e-mail notifications we have thus-far) that VSC is processing incoming applications a bit faster (faster e-mail and NOA1 mailing - not necessarily anything else).

I hope that means good news for later processing too. Their new year resolution should definitely be faster K1 processing :-p

I'm not sure that has anything to do with Vermont, but more to do with Texas which is where the application is received (and payment is processed) before sending off to the correct service center.

Not sure.

Could be just that the two petitions we have electronic notifications for were sent to different desks and one is faster than another. Who knows.

:unsure:

Just making conversation on what little we know to pass the time.

Hm you're probably right, I got so excited that totally slipped my mind that it's not Vermont sending out the E-notifications...but hey, there's still hope VSC might pick up processing times in the new year. I'm trying to be positive right now, even though it's not easy reading about all those long 5-6 months waiting periods of other VJ members. Hoping for the best but expecting the worst :P

I thought the email NOA1 is sent due to the E-notification form and otherwise one would only get the hardcopy via regular mail. Anyone correct me please if I'm wrong :)

Congrats btw, it would be great if 3 day NOA1's were the norm :yes: I'm anxiously waiting for my fiancé to tell me he got an email and/or text, or that the check was cashed. I don't think he checked yet though since the petition only arrived in Texas 2.5 days ago...
