Labor Day weekend is coming up which means we'll be waiting until Tuesday to see if our NOA1 has come yet making it 3 weeks. :( I know Vermont has been taking a long time lately but it seems everyone who filed before and after (except Shanira) has recieved it, making me worry.

Maybe we are just unlucky, i heard of people they actually never got a NOA1, but they got a NOA2..

I also read about people that got their NOA1 after 2 months.. Ya I read it to calm myself down here in VJ lol..

But i'm just as worry as you, if not more, you are not the only one, and i must admit Gemmie that it's calming me a little bit down that i'm not the only one either.

My check was cashed too, so I assume the NOA1 and NOA2 are already in the mail and should be here any second... Small steps...

NOA1 yes, NOA2 not for a while, maybe 4 to 5 months. That is if everything is all good with no RFE's.

But since we are all good and kind hearted people here, it should all be fine!

Goodluck to all of us!

I was joking, I figured throwing in the "any second" would give it away... I've read up on the timelines and know generally what to expect, and I can remember seeing a few cases where the check was cashed a week ahead of the NOA1 even being mailed, it took 6 days for my packet to get there and likely 6 to get back... I'm not expecting anything until a week into september (maybe the NOA1 will show up on september 4th and be a nice birthday surprise for my fiance).

Hewy everybody! Tt's been a week since VSC received our I129F and still no emails of our NOA1 nor anything in the mail. This is making me nervous. Any insights on what could have happened? Is there a way for us to track our application online on the USCIS website without the case number or maybe a workaround? Help? Puhleez? :clock:
