It is one month and there is no any NOA1

[ZD&LG 0]

Hello VisaJourney members,

I know it is a quite often asked question and there are some people who have not gotten their noa1 for quite a long time. Still so concerned about it.. In our case, my fiance sent the documents to Texas USCIS office back in Dec.19, 2011 and if to count days we have not heard anything more than a month. I do not wanna stress him so much asking about this that is why I am hoping that somebody here had similar situation and can explain what to do..

We know though ( after a call to USCIS operators) that we are in their system and check is cashed. But nothing came electronically either by mail. When my honey called them like couple of weeks ago, they promised to send noa1 in couple of days, but still there is nothing from them. I really find it weird. The petition was sent with all supporive docs and I dont have any idea why it takes forever.

I will be very happy if somebody can explain what is happening and probably there are people out there with similar experiences and can share their thoughts on it? Thanks for any piece of advice

You don't mail the petition to Texas USCIS office. The petition is mailed to Dallas lockbox from there the petition is then sent to VSC or CSC.

Your filing location is not Texas Service Center.

Was a form G-1145 included? That form sets things up for electronic notification.

Did they give the receipt number? I would not worry too much if you have the receipt number; EAC Vermont Service Center, WAC California Service Center.

Texas is not a service center that is just the lockbox to mail the petition too.

Maybe they mistakenly sent it to an actual field office in Texas and that's why they haven't

received their NOA1 yet?

hi!!!

We have send our application I130 on 30 august , we got our NOA1 15 Days after ,

and we are stressing about the NOA2 that still pending ..

im tired to compare my timeline to other's petitioners ....04 months now and have not heard nothing

by the way, dont even try to call uscis cause they dont do anything ;;; they dont care at all

about emails request,

if your check is cashed and your apllication is on system that means all is ok

just be patient ....

there is no logic for application .... it's about luck thats it

wish you gd luck and hope you hear soon about your noa1

He has already called USCIS and they verified they have the petition and cashed the check, this was stated in the earlier post.

Your response leaned towards you not reading that part of his post:

Yep, this is the thing. I know that the form for electronic notification was included. So it seems did not help, because nothing came electronically either.

Then we do know, that they got it, because the check was cashed.So it seems that he sent the petition to the right address. But I dont know about the recept number, I should ask him. What we should do now? keep calling or just waiting? really, 36 days I think is quite a long time for noa1 though..

Thanks for your support. We are trying to be patient, we just did not expect that weird waiting for the only noa1. and now dont know if we ever get it.
