How long does it take to get a hard copy of the NOA1 paper from them.

Is there anyway I can check if I will be receiving one with a phone call or something to the USCIS?

I have been hearing about people receiving their NOA1 paper 2 weeks after they sent their I-130 off.

I am in CA and sent it to IL lockbox

04/06/11 Automatic recorder on the NVC machine stated that my package was received this date and have to wait 6-8 weeks for next responds

04/16/11 RFE issing my spouse passport biopage

04/18/11 Email back the missing paperwork for NVC

04/19/11 Email from NVC they recieved the RFE I sent.

04/20/11 Spoke with NVC they say have to wait 20days for change

05/16/11 Spoke with NVC they say "case is complete, and that their interview appointment is full for June- to call back in June 17 for a interview appointment time for July most likely."

05/16/11 SIF on the payment portal website

05/20/11 Interview letter arrived via email for June 15 interview date in Guz

06/13/11 Medical Test today

06/15/11 Doc intake

06/16/11 Interview day waited for my wife at the embassy

06/16/11 APPROVE

06/18/11 Visa in her hand at China post office

6/23/11 Land in US at San Francisco airport

Typical is 7-10 days by US Mail. Did you file a G-1145 E-notification form with the I-130? If so you would have gotten your USCIS file number and could look up your status on the USCIS website. If you did not file a G-1145 you have to wait till you get your NOA1 to get the number.

Thanks,

Yeah I forgot to send the E-notification, I wanted to do it, but I think it's to late now to send it during this wait period.

Yes, you have to send with your filing. Sorry, now you have to wait. Don't worry though. It won't take long for you to get your NOA1.

From reading your signature it says the "Check was cleared" which is good news!

I would think you should have the physical NOA1 soon.

The NOA1 is nice to have as a milestone. I hope your not planning on using as part of an I-129F filing. Doing so will just slow down your I-130. K3 is a dead visa. Follow the IR1/CR1 guide.

Yeah, I'm going through the CR-1 route. So I guess I will not be doing the I-129F. That's for the K3 process.

*** not a K-3 visa topic, moving to IR-1/CR-1 forum ***

Sometimes my language usage seems confusing - please feel free to 'read it twice', just in case !
