I have a question: I've noticed that I'm falling behind in the timeline here since a couple of people have received their NOAs even though they filed a few days later than me...could it be due to the fact that I filed a I-130/AOS/EAD/AP and most people here have already taken care of the I-130 part before? Or is it just random bad luck on my end? :unsure:

Last I heard, the K-3's were taking a while to process, but I'm not sure if that effects the NOA1.

Hmmm, I don't know but I don't think so...I filed the same way as you, as did Lili, and we both received our NOAs and Bio letter pretty quickly. But, I still can't track my I 130 online even though I have received the NOA-1. I can track the other three cases but no that one. I think the 130 and 145 definitely get dealt with separately. I think it is all just random and you will get your NOAs soon!

I'm on an H-1B too. I can imagine how you feel-- I was getting worried when my NOAs were just a few days late (and I haven't gotten my biometrics notice yet although others have) but have decided to stop agonizing-- at least I have a job and a work visa.

There doesn't seem to be any logic behind the process, just try not to take it personally. ;)

Thanks Carpe Diem....I guess we will continue waiting (as if there is anything else we can do, hehe).....

Did anyone receive their NOAs before their checks cleared or they always clear before the NOAs?

Sent in personal checks (noteworthy: written out to USCIS and not US Dept of Homeland Security...my slip-up...maybe that's causing a delay?)

I don't think that will cause a delay actually. I wrote mine out to USCIS and when I looked at the check online, it was crossed out and had a stamp over it saying US dept of homeland security.

I had my NOA's before my checks were cashed. I do not think there is a specific order.

AOS Approved on 10-17-08 (details in profile)

Removal of Conditions on 07-19-10

In this tedious process, we tend to forget that this is all worth it.

I love my hubby beyond anything in this world.
