I see in some peoples timelines that they got an electronic notification of NOA long before the snail mail one.

How does this happen, do they email you the NOA based on what you put on the application? Do all UCSIS offices do this?

I know you can check on line the status but not until you are assigned a case #, correct?

On average how long does it take to get some sign you are in the system, cashed check, email, or whatever is fastest.

Now I wish I used fed ex instead of certified mail, I hate the thought of my packet not getting there (however unlikely)

Thanks!

I think once your check has been cashed you can find your receipt number on the back of it... that's the number you need to enter to find the case status on the USCIS site. You can sign up for email updates at the same time, too.

2005 - We met

2006 - Filed I-129F

2007 - K-1 issued, moved to US, completed AOS (a busy year, immigration-wise)

2009 - Conditions lifted

2010 - Will be naturalising. Buh-bye, USCIS! smile.png

Did you pay by check? If so, when the check clears view the back of the cashed check in your online banking account and you can get the reciept number from there. Then go sign up for an online USCIS account and get your NOA1 date from there, before you get it in the mail. :)

thanks that information is very helpful (and fast!), this is a great forum.

I guess we are all in the same boat and I will probably be insane by the time this is all finished. At least my darling will be here to nurse me back to sanity once it is all over.

I will look online that once the check is cashed.

Does anyone know the average time from when the packet is sent to when the check is cashed? Do they cash it before forwarding to CSC or will I have to wait for it to get forwarded?

Thanks.

Yeah, I think we're all on the path to insanity here... really tests our love for our fiance(e)s. I don't know the answer to your other question as I'm going through VSC, but I'm sure someone will come along and answer you. :)

I did not get a email on my NOA1 I sent my 129F in on 11/22 and my check posted online 12/6 The bank web site said they receive it on 12/4. I got the case number off the back of the check online and went to the gov web site and found out they mail my NOA1 out and i receive that in the mail today 12/7

so it was 15 days since i mail out my 129F to Texas and receive my NOA1 in the mail, They also sent my packet to California from texas, I hope this info helps, Kyle

Kyle,

thanks for the info, it looks like our cases are similar. Same SC with us both being in florida and sent a few days apart. I will keep on the lookout then. Did you use the regular mail to send in your packet? Where is your Fiancee from?

You can look at my signature to get an idea of time and order of events. BUT keep in mind that every case is different. some people see the check cashed quickly and long before the NOA1 comes.

Hvae a smooth and quick journey!
