My name isn't Alice- but I'm definitely living in Wonderland too. :) Thoughts and dreams can and do become things... reality. If some of us didn't believe this- I doubt many would be here. I think John Lennon sums it up nicely.... "You may say I'm a dreamer but I'm not the only one.... "

*Getting off my soap box now*

Go confidently in the direction of your dreams and live the life you have imagined.... ~Thoreau

Hi Everyone

I am just wondering how long does it take for them to send the NOA, my husband sent out the package on 23 June and arrived there on 25 June. And still nothing come in and they don't cash the check yet either.

I saw most of you guys who filed this month got the NOA pretty quick so i am just worrying abit.

Hi Mommy,

My hubby got the NOA1 in the mail exactly 2 weeks after it was sent off. The USCIS got it from the 10th according to Fed Ex but they said they got it on the 16th and it took a week for the hardcopy to get to him...he's in iraq though so maybe normally it doesn't take that long.

I had to apply for a passport renewal for my work, so I sent that off on the 30th- they already cashed my check, why hasn't USCIS? I don'tthink I've ever wanted something to take my money so badly in my life!

Hello all,

I just lodged on to this site and joined in mid June. I hope to find some hope here in this long and confusing process and time.

I was living and working in Japan got married on 03/27/06 and moved back to the US and got a good job as to support my wife, (also for the I-864 form A.O.S.) and filed my I-130 this month, they received it June 15th. You should be able to check my time line..

I hope the wait is not as long as some places I've read. I have read from other web places that it can take 2+ years to be with my wife again..

I have some photos of us posted and would like to see some of the June Filers too..

Good luck to us all in this process. Keep you chins up and a smile on your face.

David
