hi all,

This is my first post here. :dance: yippe! I'm filing paperworks so that I and my wife in Vietnam can be reunited. I'm a naturalized US citizen living in Florida.

Ok, I mailed the I-130 by ceritified mail to TSC on June 1, 2006. I received a Domestic Return Receipt from the Post Office on June 13, 2006. On it is a red stamp "Received from INS TSC Jun 06 2006".

So far I'm still waiting for the NOA1. I've read the CR-1/IR-1 Timeline Statistics on here. The average for TSC is around 16 days. As of today, it has been 34 days since I sent the I-130. Is it normal for the NOA1 to take that long? Plus I've checked the processing time for TSC but they don't list the I-130 for US citizen filing for a spouse. CSC and VSC does list them. Does anyone know if this is an oversight or something else.

Can I call TSC to check the status of my I-130?

Thanks everyone.

Usually, it takes about 2-3 weeks to receive the NOA-1. Did you send a personal check or money order for the application fee? Please check whether they are cased or not. If they are cashed, then you would get yoru NOA-1 within days. Another possibility would be, you may forget to send something or leave some space blanks, in that case, USCIS would send you another letter and explain what is needed from you. But I hope, the former is the case, not the latter.

I-130 Timeline with USCIS:

It took 92 days for I-130 to get approved from the filing date

NVC Process of I-130:

It took 78 days to complete the NVC process

Interview Process at The U.S. Embassy

Interview took 223 days from the I-130 filing date. Immigrant Visa was issued right after the interview

After I post here this afternoon, I got home and there it was. My NOA1 was waiting in the mail. I couldn't be happier. I know the NOA1 is just a tiny little steps in this mountain of paperworks, but seeing that letter made my day. What are the chance that on the same day I post here, I got my answer. Thanks VJ! You made it happened, somehow??!! I should have posted here sooner.

Oh, I think the reason it took over a month because my i-130 got transferred to CSC. The NOA1 I got was from CSC.

Ok, so now I went online to USCIS website and register an account. Do I just add my receipt number as a case to my portfolio? What do I do from here?

Thanks all.

Yes, that is correct...

And as for anyone else in a similiar timeline running through the TSC, these NOA1'a are taking 20-30 days or more because of the transfer and backup in CSC! Also dont figure the day you sent it - it is the day RECEIVED by USCIS - if you sent it 5-day mail then that is 5 more days to your timeline!
