AOS March 2011 Filers

[Little_My 464]

Bogart, did you fill out the email notification form? We got the email notification in little less than a week after mailing the package (we did FedEx), and then hardcopy NOA1 two days from that. It'll come, trust me And they use regular mail, so it can travel for a few days too even after it's been mailed. Once you get the NOA and your reference numbers for your forms, you can sign up for email notifications on USCIS website so you know whenever there's an update with your case.

At this point, I am just so happy to have that thing out of my hands.. the night before I sent it out, I sat in my living room with a printer making a copy of the entire monstrous thing. Took me about 3 hours. Now it's just waiting and hoping for the best.. I am really keeping my fingers crossed that EAD would come swiftly. We'll see how that goes.. Good luck to all fellow March filers!

I regret not using Fed EX or UPS. I used the USPS express mail and my package was delivered a day late than originally promised. And a day makes a difference in my opinion. I am hoping to soon get that email and NOA1. And, never have I wanted someone to cash my check so badly

I have had SO many problems with USPS in the past, that I am reluctant to mail even a post card using regular postal service here Hence the FedEx. For fellow March filers who have not yet mailed their packages, mine cost $48 through FedEx, and was delivered on time to a person who signed for it in less than 24 hours from when I mailed it. It's a bit more expensive then the USPS express mail, but maybe also a bit more secure.

Its been 1week and 4 days and no NOA1 in my mailbox. Im so worried. I hope this not a sign of denial..

[Little_My 464]

Well, no one is gonna deny your application without processing it and interviewing you guys. Worst case scenario is that you missed something in the forms or a piece of suporting documentation that is crucial, and they will either send the whole application back to you with a letter explaining what was wrong / missing, or they'll eventually send you an RFE. Both are unfortunate in the sence that they'll prolong your application processing time a bit, but it's not the end of the world. I'd say it is more likely that they are just taking their time, and the NOA will arrive this week.

Did you use regular USPS? Not express? And no email notification form?

mrsfinland is right, there's no such thing as denial unless you have criminal records etc.etc.

You did sign up for the g-1145, right?

1 week and 4 days yes that's a long time for the first NOA, let's hope it'll arrive this week.

To me it's been 4 days so far, if we minus the weekends then it's been only the second day, I am hoping to get my first NOA within this week.

I am actually fine as long as I receive the EAD by the end of may (when school's out)

We just received 3 text and email alerts saying our 3 applications have been received, along with their case numbers. Yay! That was fast. We mailed our stuff in on the 9th! Any others get notified today?

[bogart 3]

Maybe ur right about the taking their time.. I think my lawyer used FedEx and for sure he didnt miss or forget a single thing in the package.. My lawyer just emailed me saying just be patient, it takes approximately 4 weeks for the NOAs to be sent in our attention.. *sigh*

I think he didn't sent the 1145 form well then know that hard copies usually comes 3-4 days after when the NOA issued, (3-4 days after when you usually receive electronic notification).

Registering my presence as a co-March 2011 filer! I had to wait until I received some confirmation from USCIS before gaining the confidence to heave a sigh of relief!
