NOA1??????

[B&P 0]

What actually is a NOA1 and NOA2? Is it something you recieve? I noticed everyone gets the NOA1 a few days after they file. My US Postal Service confirmation says it arrived in Vermont on May 19th 2010. It was signed for at VSC I have heard nothing what should I be looking for?

these 'NOA's, or 'Notice of Action' - come in the form of a formletter, an I-797-C, via postal mail.

NOA-1 is the receipt notice

NOA-2 is the approval notice

I see everyone gets this really quick like in 3 to 5 days! Just kind of wondering when I should look for it too come?

B&P-I was just looking into more info on this. I sent my I 129f and it was delivered and signed for on May 19th, 2010. I looked at my bank account and the check was cashed yesterday, May 27, 2010 (Vermont). But I don't have my NOA1 yet, but I am guessing that's because it's in the mail. NOA1 is notice of action-1, means they received it and are starting to slowly go through it. NOA2 is that they have approved the package and are sending it onto the next step and then abroad to the Embassy. A couple things could make a difference-right now it seems things are a bit slower for some reason, and two how you mailed it. When people write sent-they may be writing when it arrived (as many do it overnight mail or priority-I did mine priority and knew then with sig and delivery confirmation when and who signed for it). Also I have heard of people getting emails-I don't know about this part-if anyone does please fill us in. But we were both on the same day, so I am guessing our NOA1s are in the mail. Check to see if your check was cashed, this gave me some peace of mind as I am eagerly awaiting the NOA1, all the way through to getting to be with the man I love!

Best of luck!

Maybe a bad time of the month, there have been a rash of posts lately for petitions that were sent in the last 10-15 days that have not received NOA1 yet.

-So we have the same situation, I looked more online here and one post thread said that you can check your status with the back of the check-where we using VT, would find a number followed by EAC, the EAC# you could put into UCIS website to track your status and progress. I looked online and even called my bank because there were so many numbers on the back of the check and some stamped over each other. I couldn't see anything starting with EAC the bank had never heard of it, but maybe someone out there can help us out for exactly what we should look for on the back. We both got a sig. confirmation on the same date, so I'm sure we both are very close as far as NOA1 goes (though nothing in the mail today for me).

So does anyone know what to look for on the back of the check that I can see online to find my EAC#???
