Priority Dates for Family Sponsored Preference Cases

For family sponsored immigration, the priority date is the date that the petition is properly filed with U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS). A properly filed petition contains the required signature(s), filing fee, and any supporting documentation required at the time of filing.

the above link is from the USCIS website.

I think you start count down using your priority date, my NOA1 form had receive and priority of 9th aug, and noa of 17th aug, i think 17th is when they sent noa1 in the mail, cos i did not recieve it on the 17th.

does that make sense?

but some threads i have read show people who have the priority date blank,.......

I think while your papers are still at the Chicago lockbox, this is the priority date, once

correct Service center receives them, it's NOA1 date, but this is just my thought.

I can't figure it out, suppose it doesn't matter anyway, we all still have to wait a long time.

but to clarify, I definitely think the NOA is when USCIS mark when they sent the hard copy to the petitioner, and the priority date is when they put you in the system,so they would adjudicate the priority date, not the date they sent you the notice.

I am sure someone will shed some light, even still this whole putting your life on hold for a visa, is so frustrating, some people are lucky, and get there noa2 in weeks, or a couple of months, and some wait wait and wait some more.

I kind of feel like I can't make plans, for next year, to travel, work or anything, cos this visa is pretty much controlling the next couple of years. its crazy.

you get married, and your whole life gets inspected and picked apart, by the government, to see if they believe you and your USC are really married, and not just doing it for 'other' reasons.

and its something you have to go through for years until you hopefully become a citizen, and can just live your life without paperwork, visa's, fees and waiting around.

I wish they put this much inspection, time and effort into criminals they let back out into the community so easily!

Infact criminals don't even have to pay for lawyers, fees or forms for the crimes they commit.

sorry for the rant, bored of waiting, and its only been 2 months.

I tirelessly checked those who has Aug24 NOA1 date. I found out that there were 14 who got approved for this month already. Whew! It could be more though, but I'm sure about the 14.

Nothing for us this week

[Ribs & Beans 19]

Not an application status update, but I just needed to vent. My husband is in the Dominican Republic and has been sick for a few days...it turns out he has dengue fever :-(. He'll probably be hospitalized tomorrow...and there's nothing I can do about it!

I try to be patient with this whole process, but it's times like this that I get frustrated and upset. I just want to take care of my husband .

Anyway, thanks for letting me share.

[Saylin 1,605]

Oh, Kikapoo! I hope your husband gets well really fast. It sucks not being able to help your loved one. My husband's sick as well (just the common cold, though) and I feel bad that I can't do anything for him either. Let's go USCIS so we can be with our loved ones!
