Welcome, another fast NOA1 person :-)

Loto

Thanks Loto...I am debating now to try to expidite my case but I don't know if it will qualify...To make a long story short the 2nd week in April we found out my mom has cancer and at that time they gave her 10 months to live...She has been through 3 very tough chemo sessions and things are looking better but the cancer is still there...I just want my mom to be here to meet my husband...But the questio I keep asking my self do I want the added stress of gathering info from the Dr and what not LOL...Right now I have to keep a very positive attitude and think God does not give me more than I can handle...But anyways What do you think should I try?

And Loto get on the phone and call them it is too long for you not to even get someting from USCIS...

Thnaks and good luck

The below are the expedite criteria.

http://www.uscis.gov/portal/site/uscis/menuitem.5af9bb95919f35e66f614176543f6d1a/?vgnextoid=16a6b1be1ce85210VgnVCM100000082ca60aRCRD&vgnextchannel=db029c7755cb9010VgnVCM10000045f3d6a1RCRD

I am not sure if they expedite your case. But you have nothing to lose to try based on "Humanitarian situation". You need to provide all the proof to the USCIS regarding her health matters.

Thanks Loto...I think I was reading someone else tried to expedite on a similar situation and it was not approved that is why I was debating on doing it or not...But I will talk with my step-dad and maybe her Dr.(he is a Brazilian man) so I am sure he knows the immigration process and see what they think???

If I was you I would call them and find out why it is not online yet because you have a recipt number and it should be there...But when you get online to check it will give you a date it was last updated and I have read it means your case was touched...

Welcome to the July filers!!! Good luck

Overnight to Chicago on July 20, signed for the following day by R MERCADO.

Have not seen anything since, the personal check still hasn't been cashed.............18 days and nothing.

It took almost exactly one year for my wife to get here on a K-1, we did not file AOS after we married due to me being laid off twice and moving to Florida where our son was born. She went back home the end of March to visit family since her mom was ill and we wanted to make sure she could see her new grandson, just in case she took a turn for the worse. I am so tired of this slow immigration process. Almost be better off flying her and my son into Mexico and making a border run, the borders seem wide open anyways............I am back in California now, got a good solid job this time. <knock on wood>

Good luck to everyone else.

Welcome to all in this July filers group!

I didn't have NOA1 so far.

Called the USCIS today to check the delay of NOA1. After first level representative collected the basic information, the call was escalated to the second level. They asked my last name and zip code and advised that their mail room is full with 1000s of applications and to wait until the check is cashed, after routing to the appropriate service center. I asked them how many more weeks (mine is going to be 3 weeks on this Wed) to wait. Then I was told another 2 more weeks! Also, I was told that there will be a receipt# at the back of the cleared check. Good thing they told was I won't lose the priority date of I-130 which is July 21, even if there is a delay in entering the application into their system or not.

Hope this helps to others who are also stuck like me not having NOA1 for more than 10 days after the submission!
