Another member claims to have just received NOA1 after having mailed June 13th. I questioned why I had not received mine and another member told me that it was being transferred to California from the Texas Service Center. My check has also not been cashed. Knowing that my paperwork has been transfered to California explains the delay in response and my check cashing. This might also be the case with you

I just looked at the processing times and TSC doesn't have any I-129F's...Vermont does. And Vermont says they are processing files that were received on March 6th! When you sent your form, did you address it as Vermont, TSC?

Hey Guys....

My fiance sent our application on 06/19 via Fedex next day and they still haven't cashed our cheque yet. Granted, we are at NSC for now (until they decide to forward us to CSC).....

Hopefully we will all be touched and cashed soon.

"Let your legs carry your body and your heart carry your dreams."

June 19th, 2006 - I129-F sent via Fedex (courtesy of my Honey's work) to arrive using next day delivery

Mid- July - Found out I129-F never left his company but is lost there.....need to gather and try again

August 2006 - Still waiting...maybe not the I-129F route anymore
