Hi Amy!

Our I-130 just got delivered to the USCIS Lockbox via Fed Ex. Now to see how long they take to cash the check!

Nobody else filed in June?

June looks like a slow month......one third completed and just two of us.

Hi candyland!

You got the NOA1 4 days after you sent the I-130? Wow that was fast! :lol: I hope we are that lucky.

I am hoping they will put through the check so I can see what number is written on the back of it.

Yes you are right, waiting is the hard part....let's hope it's a speedy process!

JL - did you have tracking on your package sent to the Chicago box? Do you know if they received it yet. I'm assuming it is just a slight delay with them receiving the package, especially if you did not use overnight or a express delivery method.

Question for you guys - I have the receipt number off of the scan of the check. It begins with WAC. Any idea how long it would take before I can track my case online on the USCIS website?

Hi Madmax....Yup. The package got delivered on Jun 10th I sent it overnight and got confirmation.

You should be able to check your status online right away. Just keep in mind that the number that will work for you to see your case online - the last digit will be one higher than what is on the back of the check.

So if your number is Blahblahblah0 on the back of the check then you'd put in blahblahblah1 to see it online.

Good Luck and I hope they cash my check by the end of the week!

Thanks JL!

I received my NOA1 today so yours shouldn't be far behind.

Is there anything that I can do while waiting for NOA2 or is it just a waiting game?

Just wanted to say hello to everyone. The waiting game is really awful..... on the otherhand, I guess I'm a little relieved to have some time to get some more money saved. My husband and I are running two households with 5 kids between us. All of the fees and trip to Montreal for their interview- not to mention travel expense when they can finally come to the States is going to be a real blow.... :( Guess I'll be working alot of overtime....

How is everyone doing ?
