On this link, I see that as of 2/1, Chicago had "completed initial data entry and issued receipt notices" for I-130 petitions received up to 12/27:

http://www.uscis.gov/portal/site/uscis/men...00045f3d6a1RCRD

Does this mean that in theory, if they got your I-130 in the mail on 12/27 you should be receiving your NOA1 shortly?

Yes and if you didn't, you can call the number listed on the website!

Good luck

Form Number Date Received

I-130 1/11/2008

Is this true? Or just to keep our hopes up?

there's still lots of november filers and december filers who's waiting for their NOA1 hardcopy (ATLEAST)...

but, who knows whats happening at USCIS...

God bless....

I saw that, and I can't decide if it's a relief, or just more apprehension about whether mine is included in that or not. Should be, it was received 1/9.

Anyway, tomorrow I am leaving for Italy to meet my hubby, so for 10 days I will be free of obsessively checking my bank account to see if the check was cashed. I hope to return to many messages of success from all of you who had your checks cashed and NOA1 numbers, etc. (isn't it odd what we consider "success" at this point!)

Onward!

USCIS received my application for I-130, I-485, I-765, I-131 on January 18th. As of this morning, February 8th, the checks have been cashed :) !!!!! I was getting way too impatient... Now I have to wait for the receipt letter and hopefully my EAD will come soon.

I am currently on F-1 OPT status.

Hope this bring some good news to everyone else who is waiting!

God luck to all ;)

hey all ...

I filed my I-130 and I-129F together to the Chi. Lockbox on 1/15 and saw via USPS tracking that it arrived 1/17/08. By extrapolating from the notion that they were entering I-130s into the system from 1/11 on 2/6/08, I figured that maybe they would have seen mine today :)

Now the question becomes two-fold - 1) When should I expect my check to be cashed? 2) When do I expect my NOA1? (for either or both)

Actually, there are more "folds" lol ...

- Will they send back BOTH to me and screw me over because I sent both?

- Will they send back just the 129F because they can easily enter the 130 in the system (separate petition/packet in a separate envelope and clearly marked)?

MOST IMPORTANTLY - WHEN CAN I CALL IN TO (HOPEFULLY) GET A CASE # AND START TRACKING ONLINE! lol

NEETU IS HERE!
