how long to get noa1?

hi There

I just checked this morning. Similar to you. I mailed mine to texas lockbox but then it was sent to Vermont for processing. The current timeline as listed on the USCIS website is 5 months give or take a week or so. I would suggest that upon the official receipt you will receive from Dept of Homeland Security stating that they received your application (the document you will receive by mail is an I-797C, Notice of Action) you will be provided with a receipt number. If you go to www.uscis.gov you can enter in your receipt number and it will allow you to track your case. Additionally, if you sign up for e-mail notifications and create an account, if there are any updates made to your case you can be notified by txt or e-mail as opposed to waiting for paper notifications by mail. Hope this helps but if you need any additional information, please let me know.

Yes, the USCIS website states a processing time of 5 months but there have been many complaints of petitions taking 6 months and over to be processed. They need to update their site appropriately if they no longer can process applications withing 5 months. The OP is already freaking out, he/she is advised to add an extra month to the processing time (as that seems to be the trend now) in order to calm his/her nerves.

i just checked, they cashed the check the 27th. it still says intial review though on USCIS. is there a reason id get denied a NOA1?

Very few people get denied the NOA1 for whatever reasons, mostly paperwork. The interivew stage is where you will find more denials. Best wishes on your journey!

Posted processing times never change, but really they can change throughout the year.

Wondering since we filed on the same day if the OP has recieved NOA1 yet? we recieved ours today, so if you haven't recieved yours yet, I am sure it's not far away
