Duplicate February 2010 California Filers threads merged and topic title edited to remove 'Philippines' from title.

“...Isn't it splendid to think of all the things there are to find out about? It just makes me feel glad to be alive--it's such an interesting world. It wouldn't be half so interesting if we knew all about everything, would it? There'd be no scope for imagination then, would there?”

.― Lucy Maude Montgomery, Anne of Green Gables

I'm respectfully going to ask a mod to merge your post into it and see if they can take the subtitle off, so as to avoid confusion and keep us all in one place.

Welcome to the gang :)

Hi SunDrop. It looks like Kathryn did indeed merge the threads and removed Philippines.

I am looking at your timeline in the signature. You and I are going through at exactly the same times. My check was cashed and I saw it online today 02/11/2010. I got my WAC number and entered it in to the USCIS web site for email notifications. It looks like they have sent NOA1 out in the mail. But NOA1 not received yet.

Yeah CSC. Great job.

Yup, I reported my own post :D

So the race is on, huh? lol.. How did you see the NOA1 was sent? I'm presuming the 'touch' yesterday was it, but dunno if it's arrived. Doubt it'll be that quick in the mail. I signed up for email notification too.

I don't get how people are receiving their NOA1 by email...

Ok, so through the USCIS web site you can do two kinds of things. This will just give you more ways to worry and keep checking the internet 5 times a day like you posted the other day. LOL

Go to www.uscis.gov (I hope it is legal to post outside links.) On the left hand side of the page are links.

one is "Check My Case Status"

click on this. You will be taken to a new page. Enter your WAC number. I think you did this and saw a circle marked that said Initial Review. If you read the text in the first paragraph, at least for me, it says,

"On February 8, 2010, we received this I129F PETITION FOR FIANCE(E), and mailed you a notice describing how we will process your case. Please follow any instructions on this notice."

I am assuming this refers to NOA1.

The second thing to do is to sign up for email notification (and you can even signup for SMS or text messaging notification).

Again from USCIS home page, on the left side click on "Sign-up for Case Updates"

This will take you to a page where you can register with USCIS to receive email updates. You need to pick a username, enter a password, give an email address, enter your WAC receipt number, etc...

You can PM (private message) me here if you have any questions about signing up for email notification. For that matter anyone can.

The race is on. I am hoping for smooth sailing with no RFEs for all.

Yah, no Somali pirates taking us hostage, tyvm! lol...

I've done the same as you, checked my status online, saw the dots. And then also signed up for email updates.

The thing that puzzles me is that I've seen people make reference to receiving their NOA1 via email. Surely you can't get a number without getting your NOA1, and without the number, how do you sign up for email alerts? lol

If your check is cashed before they send the NOA1, you look on the back of the check. Enter your WAC or EAC number and sign up for email updates. Then when they issue the NOA1 letter, I think you would also get an email update with the NOA1 information.

I do not know this to be a fact.

Hello

yeah ! I am glad I found you guys !!

We are also a Feb10 ! It's good to know that I can share my stress with you guys !

The package is sadly still here with me :wacko: because we found out that the passeport that we used for US. citizenship proof will expire in 2011 so it'a not gonna be a valid proof...

Also the I-129F expired the 01/31/2010 ...I don't know if it really matter to them ? Did you guys used the same I129F form ?

Ho before I forget ! I saw one of you guys got a RFE for a missing copy of G325a ? Do I need two copy of my G325a ? I didn't know that ! Do I need 2 copy of the I-129F as well and an other passport-size picture of me ?

I can't wait to have send it and get a NOA1 ...

03/08/2010 - Apply for K1

07/29/2010 - K-1 Visa Received ! (141 days later)

08/10/2010 - POE

I see someone already answered the expiration date Q in your other post :) Good, cos I wouldn't know.

What I do know is that the G325a used to come as a 5-page pdf document (now i guess only 2). We had to send in 4 copies of the first (bio) page each - for me and my fiancé. so 8 pages i guess...

You only need to submit one copy of the i-129f. make sure to have at least one hardcopy at home before you send it though (you might need it later)

I don't remember how many pictures they needed... sorry

The Guides are great btw. (although sometimes outdates - seek second opinion) http://www.visajourney.com/forums/index.ph...amp;page=guides

Bonne chance! ;)

ég eri ekki lengur kalt, hef aftur líf. lifnar mín sál, heiminn mála.

bless bless Þýskalandi! ég elsker þig!

Haaaaaa ...I am a little confused there ! ( I only count one pdf at first ! )

I re-did the entire form after I read your answer, Now I have 2x 3 pages :

1st page : G325a form x2

2nd page: instruction x2

3rd page : additional sheet (job) x2

Does it sounds correct ?

Sometimes, I had to put "none" on the employment part, Am I suppose to specify my occupation ? I assume the answer is no but 2 opinions are better than one.

Ok I promess that is the last time I ask questions about I129F !

Congrats to those who received NOA1...I want one too !!!!!!!
