Hello VJ's.

My fiance sent the k-1 forms 03/05/2008 and 1 month later he called USCIS and asked about the forms and the only thing they could say they received the forms 03/12/2008.

We don't have the NOA1, NO2...nothing!!!!!!!!

What can we do? Will we send the forms again?

Thanks

DON'T send the forms again. My fiancee and I are in the same boat, and we sent the forms beginning of May, still no NOA1. We chased the application and we were told that instead of processing in 30 days they are currently running at 60 - 90. We asked if we should re-send the forms and they said that'd be the worst possible thing to do, as the two applications would confuse things up there. We were told the best possible way to track the application was by watching to see when the check was presented for payment (at time of writing this still has not been done). If you check with your bank, once the payment has been taken they receive a USCIS case number as a reference and apparently you can use this to track the case online.

I don't know why it's taking them so long. At the time we applied, we thought they were running ahead of schedule but it seems they've got some major setbacks up there which are affecting everyone's applications.

Still, you are 2 months ahead of us even! So that's worrying for me! I'll add you to my friend's list and if we receive our NOA1 any time soon, I'll send you a mail. In theory we shouldn't get ours before you get yours, assuming our applications were all completed correctly.

Hope it comes through for you soon, and good luck!

It is NOT taking that long to get NOA1. Of everyone with a timeline on VJ sending applications for K1 to VSC in the month of May 2008: 63 have sent petitions, 62 have NOA1 (All but you.) The average number of days from mailing to getting NOA1 (receipt) for May '08 VSC is 12 days. The NOA2 (approval) is taking about 90 days now. Call and explain you are not asking about approval, but just want your initial receipt number so you can track online.

You should keep calling and ask for a NOA1 number at least. Most March filers at VSC have NOA2 approvals now and some are already done with interviews and some are already in the USA.

Your timeline says you received NOA1 on 3/12/2008. Is this incorrect? Your post above says you have no NOA1.

I really need to change it, because the only happened in 03/12/2008 was USCIS told us they have received the forms.

When you talked to them did they give you a receipt number? It would start with EAC or WAC, some thing like that. If they did, you can track it at:

Done for 3 years or 10 years. Haven't decided yet.

(I'm going for the IR-1 and blowing off the K-3. Even if it takes an extra couple months, it's worth it to not have to deal with USCIS again)

"Give me your tired, your poor, your huddled masses yearning to breathe free, the wretched refuse of your teeming shore. Send these, the homeless, tempest-tost to me, I lift my lamp beside the golden door!"

Note:

Please fill out I-130, wait 6 months for approval, then 3 more months for an interview. (Unless of course we've bombed your country into the stone age, then you qualify for expedited processing.)

Welcome to the USA!!!
