Since the average time to get the NOA1 is 10 days, its been nearly 30 and for word from the California office. However they did cash my check on the 14th. I have not recieved my NOA1 and its worrysome. Any idea whats u with those people?

June 8 they revieved it

June 18 '07 check cashed got WAC#

No NOA1, touches, or progress given

NOA2 approved Oct 17

NOA2 card copy in mail Oct 20 (Surprise to us)

Package sent from USCIS to NVC Nov 7. (called USCIS to get this)

Nov 15, I got email at 6:57pm that our package was sent to Rio from NVC.

DON"T WAIT FOR THEM TO SEND ANYTHING, CALL AND MAKE SURE THEY GOT IT.

IF THEY DO, GO AHEAD AND SEND IN ds230,ds2001, the pics, and copy of passport

USE SEDEX AND GET THE TRACKING NUMBER.

Interview Set: Jan 29. Found this out on the embassy website under VISA's. It shows a list of visa types including K1 and shows the interview dates.

Visa granted but they mailed it using their own package delivery service. Took a week. Have money when you go to the appointment. They may also make you go and get more photos taken if they dont like the pics you bring. Just relax and dress wark because they keep the place really cold. Make sure your financials mmet the criteria or they will eat you alive.

MARRIED March 22. Sent in $1,010 in fees to Chicago to get change of status, apply for advanced parole, and ability to work documentation. Things work faster now.

May 22'08: Biometrics appointment in Santa Barbara.

Take a look at some of the posts regarding receiving your NOA1 from the CSC. Some people receive it in a few days, others the get it in like 30 days. Sometimes you don't even get one. If you can get your case number off the back of your check, that is all you really need to track the progress of your petition.

Yep, happened to lots of folks. Do a search on the topic of missing or delayed NOA1s. Computer glitches, H1B backlogs, all sorts of stuff happening lately that blows the whole 10 days or less for an NOA1 right out of the water.
