I added you to the VSC list! ^_^ Welcome to the thread! I'm so glad to be part of a big group! ^___^ It makes the process a little easier, being able to share news with other people who know how stressful it can be waiting...

That's a great idea! Jim is getting the day off work for my Biometrics appointment (since I can't drive myself yet) and we'll probably celebrate at a nice restaurant too (we don't have many "restaurants" up here, LOL). I really miss being in a bigger city ^__^;;

I updated your info with the early bio! ^___^ I was wondering when somebody would try to do a walk in - we'd do it too if the ASC office wasn't 5 hours away and we don't want to risk getting turned away after such a long drive :(

I agree I honestly wouldn't risk driving 5 hours to be turned down :( unless you can find forums on you bio office and see if they are lenient towards walk ins, that is how I found out I could go to mine, I saw in a thread that many people were going early without a problem, so I thought I do if too and I was in and out in 15minutes, not sure if this wil help to speed up process but I much rather get it out of the way and wait for the next letter (hope the green card not rfe/interview)

So my attorneys office received the NOA for my application on 01/23. The receipt date on the NOA is 01/13. I had sent the package on 01/10.

But until today I have not received the NOA at my address. My understanding was that I was supposed to get the original NOA.

I am kinda worried about the whole thing now. Not sure why I havent received it yet and about the future notifications...

Anyone know if they send the biometrics appt notice to the petitioner or the attorney.

Wow NOA arrived today!! (dated 1/23/12) was joking with Jon as we collected the mail about a letter from USCIS being in there :) yey!!!!!!

Yay!!! ^___^ I love it when that happens! :D

So my attorneys office received the NOA for my application on 01/23. The receipt date on the NOA is 01/13. I had sent the package on 01/10.

But until today I have not received the NOA at my address. My understanding was that I was supposed to get the original NOA.

I am kinda worried about the whole thing now. Not sure why I havent received it yet and about the future notifications...

Anyone know if they send the biometrics appt notice to the petitioner or the attorney.

I'm not sure if they send the NOA to both the lawyer and the applicant if you have a lawyer. Is the one they sent your lawyer just a copy or is it an original NOA printed on the official USCIS blue paper too?

The lawyer emailed me the electronic copy of what they received. Its a scan copy and hence doesnt show the actual color of the document. The top right of the doc says 'I-797, Notice of Action'. Is there any other way to identify if its the original NOA or the copy?

I'm sorry, I'm not sure :( You should definitely ask your lawyer if what they received is a photocopy (black & white) and you might want to call USCIS and ask if you'll still be receiving a NOA in the mail or if the one they sent to your lawyer is your only copy. I think I remember reading something a while back that said that USCIS will start mailing notices to the applicant instead of lawyers / representatives but I can't remember what it said exactly. I do know that you need the original NOA to be able to travel overseas and return to the U.S. once your green card is expired - there was a member here on VJ whose wife got stuck in another country because she didn't have the original NOA with her, just a photocopy.

Ok, I looked at the notice again - it has light red and gray way lines (like security paper?) all over the paper and it's not really blue (sorry about that! I guess it's just some type of off-white cardstock) and there's a red seal in the middle of the paper of Lady Liberty's hand holding the torch.

Thanks for your inputs.. I guess I will talk to my lawyer next week and then decide the next steps...Have a good weekend

I hope you have a good weekend too! I hope you get it sorted out!

*** If someone else here hired a lawyer to help with your I-751 petition, please post whether you received a separate NOA1 in the mail aside from the one your lawyer received :)

Still no biometric letter appointment... how long did it take for you guys to receive the biometric letter appointment after receiving NOA? Just curious...

It might depend on whether your local ASC office has any available appointments. We received ours 5 days after we received our NOA1 in the mail but that may be because our ASC isn't very busy right now.

https://egov.uscis.gov/cris/Dashboard/CaseStatus/BucketDescriptions.do#2

"The timing of your appointment is determined by the number of applicants ahead of you that also need a biometric appointment. We try to schedule biometric appointments as quickly as possible and in most cases you will receive your appointment notice within 30 days of submitting your application. We will send your appointment notice approximately 14 days ahead of your scheduled appointment. It is important that you keep this appointment. If absolutely necessary, you can request that your appointment be rescheduled however, please be aware that rescheduling may delay the processing of your application. Please follow the instructions on your appointment notice if you need to reschedule. Occasionally, you may receive an appointment notice to appear at an Application Support Center to have your fingerprints taken when you have filed a form other than those listed above. In these situations, you may receive your appointment notice more than 30 days after submitting your application or petition."

I have a question: We sent paperwork on the 18th, as today 27th did not receive NOA letter on the mail yet. They cashed check already. Why is taking this long? Can we see it online ?????

Thank you!!!

The USCIS website says you should receive the NOA1 within 30 days of filing your application: https://egov.uscis.gov/cris/Dashboard/CaseStatus/BucketDescriptions.do#1

"The acceptance step is typically completed within 2 business days of when the application is received. With mail time it may take several weeks for you to get the receipt or rejection notice in the mail. If you do not receive your notice within 30 days of mailing your application, please contact our national customer service center at 1-800-375-5283."
