Tracking Febuary Filers

[lkekandi 0]

still no news on my side...come wednesday it'll be a month since they got our applications. i think i'm the "ugly duckling" of the group who's gonna have been the first to submit but the last to hear anything...or my application will just vanish entirely. congrats to those who have heard things within the last week!!

I haven't receiver my receipts either so I called USCIS and an immigration officer told me filing both forms at the same time could result in delays. I'm now thinking maybe I should just send another I-130 petition on its own

I wonder if they have sent both petitions to the service centre rather than send the receipts from Chicago

i don't know if sending another i-130 would be such a smart idea. my husband called yesterday and spoke to 2 different ladies about our situation. both said that we should not worry they a.) have not cancelled the k-3 visa and it won't happen for a while and b.) shouldn't have caused issues if we sent the applications in together so long as we provided all the needed information. we then asked about having him come out here and doing DCF because apparently it's a lot quicker and they both said that you have to cancel your old applications before you submit any new ones to prevent them putting your case on hold until they find out what the problem is. she said just because we haven't gotten our noa1 or had our check cashed doesn't mean nothing is happening to our case. they handle cases differently if you submit both applications together. so my thinking is if you cancel your old application and submit a new i-130 yes you may get a noa1 sooner but you don't know how it will affect you in the long run. we decided we're just going to wait it out and see what happens. they have to cash the check within 90 because otherwise it is no longer valid. i have read stories about people who wait almost two months for their noa1 and then right after they get it they get their noa2. so just have some faith and all will be sorted out. i know its hard believe me i'm going insane waiting for this and trying to plan the arrival of our first baby but you just have to realise you really don't have any control over the situation so it's not worth stressing yourself out. good luck and keep in touch!

Hey everybody! How are you all?

We've just sent our i-129F package, this time we've got an attourney doing everything for us (my husband thought it will help us make things perfectly) and we're hoping everything will be just fine.

I-129F sent to CSC today, 03/06/2008

Danyel - its so weird because just him talking to them and knowing that we had done all we could do some how took the pressure off my shoulders. Amazing thing is they told him they couldn't do anything until 90 days had passed and guess who's check got cashed that night? I'M FINALLY ON MY WAY TOWARDS SOMETHING!!! I'm going to try pulling my reciept number off the back of the check and checking it online. I'll let you know what happens!!

[hilkka28586 0]

well i got the number as best as i could off the check but alas nothing online. i emailed my mother-in-law cause she works for the bank and hopefully can get the number and we can make sure i'm trying the right number.

how long after your checks did it take to show up online?

does anyone know what the different letters at the beginning of the receipt number means?

[rue2you 0]

My check was cashed and my letters were EACxxxxxx. I could not match my receipt number on the back of my cashed check with the number on my NOA1. Doesn't mean they don't match just that I couldn't make them. I believe it will be three letters and and ten numbers.

Hope that helps are consoles you........

Take care.
