I PMed Pushbrk and he said by all means look into it. And make sure we have the most updated version. We are just worried about the generating of the bar code, and making mistakes, which could be detrimental. We are at a point where we should get this stuff going.

My husband called customer service to inquire about when to expect the receipt and they told him that he should wait up to 15 weeks to get it.They just told him what's already written on their website.I hope it doesn't take that long because we haven't filed 129F yet and we are not sure what to do next.If it takes that long for NOA1to arrives then there is no point in filing 129F.Well, we'll just have to wait and see.Good luck to all of you guys at your journeys.

Jeca, we need you help to find which telephone number your husband called. We filed I-130 for wife and baby at the same time on 1/8 and get NOA1 for Wife on 2/8, we did not get NOA1 for baby even the check was cashed too. The numbers on the back of check is terrible and we fail to figure it out. Call 800 service but all the computer voice, no people serves there, we need some help on how can we find out the number. Thanks!

HOpefully, those checks cleared last week, will all get the NOA1 this week...

Did you try checking your case online already? what service center? CSC or VCS?

tried ours, but not working yet...

God Bless

We haven't tried checking online yet. Kip emailed me the back of the check but I have no idea which set of numbers we should use. There are none that start with letters. Just a lot of numbers which over lap.

Kip lives in Georgia so we thought it would be the Texas service centre, but I'm beginning to realise that I-130's don't go there anymore .... so, I don't know yet.

Do you know which set of numbers should be used from the back of the check?

The USCIS website says it must be 13 characters long, yet the only set of numbers which look useable is only 10 characters long.

I guess I should've checked my emails from Kip first ...... NOA1 has been scanned and sent to me!!! Amazing!!! :lol:

The case number is nothing like on the back of the check he sent earlier ..... have now checked the USCIS site, and the case is not on as yet ..... but, the bottom of the NOA1 say Vermont .... so, does that means it will be slow??

NOA1 notice date is February 12th 2008.

How much time do James's Shortcuts save?

At what stage of the process are these shortcuts useful?

I was told it can turn 4 to 6 months into 6 to 8 weeks. And this is from a reliable source. It is being used by many VJers.
