January 2011 Filers!!!

[TwoCats 55]

im so nervous we havent recieved anything yet from CSC no NOA1 not even an email goodness this proccess just started and im already getting really nervous...

You might want to put your timeline in your signature instead of each post.

Go under settings (upper right under your name) -> profile -> change signature.

And don't worry too much just yet. California does seem to be taking longer to mail out NOA1s and to send texts/emails.

Did you fill out the form to get a text/e-mail notification of acceptance?

Just updating the master list and fixing some typos/issues with it.

Welcome to the new January filers.

I hope we get some NOA1s and electronic acceptances this week.

ima do that right know i got to get used to this site emm well i did but at the last minute i dropped the packet at the post office everything fell out and i tried looking for it but it wasnt there this passport pics were found but im not sure it went with the packet??? i sent it priority mail but nothing...

Okay.

If you didn't submit that form, then you just have to wait for the hard copy NOA1. Keep checking your mailbox.

The worst that could happen is you missed something and they will send your packet back with an explanation of what needs to be fixed. You'd just have to fix the error and send it back out. So, one way or the other, just watch your mail-box.

[Reiny and Carlos 0]

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?

i doubled checked everything but i think the e-notification is a loss so that why im even more nervous its going to have to take even longer if i did something wrong i sent money order instead of a personal check...

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.

Thats a great idea....although I'm not to good with all the computer stuff. So it may take me a while to figure out how to do things on here or any where else.

If computers were people I would do just fine. haha Thats why I love my job and it only requires minimal computer work.

Would you mind explaining some questions I might have in the future on how to navigate through this site? I think I have done alright but still figuring it out day by day.

Oh...we were sent to CSC also. I'm not liking the fact that we can't check on our status either. Wish CSC would do the same as VSC. Then we could see when we have been touched too. Its already going to be a long wait but not knowing anything or having anyway to check just sucks!!! Oh well, I'll keep hoping for fast results.

Thanks for all your hard work on this.

Hi there! We got our e-notification two nights ago and were routed to VSC, and have not been able to check our case status online yet either. So it's not just CSC right now I guess I'm gonna wait for the hardcopy now and not check again, or it's gonna drive me nuts.

Hi,

Congrats on your notification . But about the service center, I dont have much to say on that. I am a bit surprised you can't check your case status yet (considering other that filed this month have been able to) but maybe in a few days you will be able to. I'm not expecting that I will be able to check mine any time soon. But I seem to hope for the best and check about every 2 days anyhow. I will hope with you though and just maybe someone will do the unexpected and surprise us both.

Good Luck!!

Lol, don't have me worried now I really hope we will be able to check it soon and that our applications is not one of those who never show up online. And I hope all the CSC January filers will be able to check theirs soon as well.

I don't mind answering questions on it.

Basically it works like any other spreadsheet.

You should be able to just use the edit button without logging in or anything, and just enter dates in the right columns.

The calculated fields are already set up, so once you enter dates, it should recalculate them.

[Jen and Mario 2]

I'm sorry I didn't mean to make you worry more. I'm sure it just takes a few days to get in their system and the initial letter does say to wait till you get the hardcopy so I'm pretty confident you will be able to check soon like everyone else from VSC. At least I hope I'm right.

If they only knew what we go through over the simplest of things they would definitely put it in their systems asap. haha

Ok sounds good!!! I think I can handle that. lol

Hey guys!

This might be stupid question, but Im wondering how you know that your petition has been "touched"? is there something specific on the USCIS website if someone's fiddled our paperwork? I keep manically checking our petition reference number on the website to see if anything's changed and I should STOP.... thanks! -Eve

So true. I cling to the smallest things and darn it, I wanna obsessively check our case status I'll wait for the hardcopy and if it's still not accessible, THEN I'll start worrying.
