January 2011 Filers!!!

[James And Oksana 19]

Hey guys.

I was fiddling around with some other ways of keeping track of our user list and making it more friendly for everyone to update. What I came up with is using a shared googledocument that anyone who has access to the link can edit. (I'll moderate it for now so that no one screws with our data too much).

I'd love to embed the page into a message, but that functionality doesn't seem possible and probably for very good reasons (security wise). So it would have to stay as an outside link if we decide to go to this format instead of in-message.

Take a look at it and see if you'd rather have this, or just the in-message list we're using now.

Give me some feedback!

P.S. As an alternative, I could download this every now and again and upload it as an image for viewing in-thread if that's what people would like.

I like it! When people are added or as a reminder every once in a while a post with the link, but I think it helps keep the forum cleaner and provide a summary to everyone that they can bookmark. My only suggestion would be perhaps down the road when we all get closer to NOA2, to add country and interview date and such data points, but there is PLENTY of time for that.

Went ahead and made the changes you suggested.

Amusing part is, the more changes, the more it starts looking like the timeline page.

Then again, this is just really for our little January support group.

Congrats to everyone who received emails!!! Thanks to Twocats for organizing all of the data....I'm not the best with computers so I really appreciate it. Does anyone know if USCIS will resend a hard copy of NOA1? I am worried that we won't get it as Matt moves from Calgary (Canada) to Texas next week. We told them both adresses and the move date but I'm thinking it may have been lost or sent to the new address too early. I'm hoping if it's not there when he arrives he can request another copy.

The email says 'We suggest you wait until you have received your Form I-797 before checking My Case Status'. Not sure what that means. I did get an EAC receipt number in the email though. I don't know if I should go register on the USCIS web site now or wait until I get the letter in the mail.... what to do, what to do :unsure:

I checked it right away and had my info in it already. It has ur NOA1 date there. =)

I agree, I thought the same thing but it is nice to have for our support group here.

Can we hire you to work at the processing centers...you know how to get things done!!!

Let me know if you need help with the "countdown to NOA2" equation for excel <3

Heh.

I'm a computer programmer. Stuff like this is 'fun' for me.

I ended up doing a count-up rather than a count-down.

Although if people would rather have 5months-(days they've been waiting) instead of seeing the days they've been waiting, I'm fine with that, too. I'll wait to see what some of the others think when they get around to logging in.

P.S. Those of you from Vermont who have your online status access might want to update your last 'Touched' date.

YIPEE!!! Congrats on your NOA1!!!!

@rebelliousheart : Glad you got your e-mail notification. Bet that takes a lot of the stress out of your wait for now.

Thanks guys, I'm relieved and ready for the looong wait ahead. Ok, at least I'm trying to be

Were you able to see your online status through the USCIS website?

Congratulations!

I haven't been able to yet. I've been routed to VSC too. I know the e-mail said to wait but I still tried and so far it says that case number is not in the online system yet. Hoping to get access soon.

All of those who got their notifications last night too...have your checks been cashed yet?

Wow, that's great! Thank you for that I can't access our case online yet but as soon as I can or when my fiance gets the hardcopy, I will update our NOA1 date.

Hm, did you send the petition to the right address? And did you include the E-notification form? If not then you might get your NOA1 hardcopy any day now.

Have you ckecked if your check was cashed?
