Hello everyone!!!!

I have a quick question. I want to make sure I have an accurate timeline, so this can help other VJ members as well as me to predict when our !-129F and I-130 will be approved.

My question is, for the section that asks to enter Date of NOA1, do I enter the day I actually got it in the mail, or the day that US CIS received it (the day that shows in my receipt notice)---receipt date.

Please give me your feedback.

Thank you,

7.14.07 - Received NOA1 (WOW after 6 weeks, I was worried...called INS and told me CSC had a computer "glitch" causing delays on printing Receipt notices and approvals)

I entered the issue date on the NOA. A couple of days won't matter too much so don't worry about it.

Thanks for the response jasman, actually there is a big difference on mine (the I-130). The difference on mine is 6 weeks...there was a computer glitch at the California Service Center and it took really long for me to get it.

But thanks for the heads up....

In that case, definitely better to enter the date on the NOA1 rather than the date you actually received it in the mail. :)
