So I just joined here so I'm really new (: But I just had a question about if there is a certain time it normally takes to receive the NOA1. We sent in the packet on June 27th and it got there on June 30th but were still waiting for it. I also sent in the E-notification and haven't gotten anything. I figure it could take some time but I noticed most people's took only a couple days. i'm pretty sure I didn't do anything wrong, but thought i'd ask anyways.

Thank you guys.

Olivia.

It can be a few weeks for the hard copy, few days to a week "generally"for the e-notification.

Was your cheque/ check cashed?

What address did you send the package to? Did you send it registered mail or just normal mail?

** keep in mind, the 4th was a public holiday.

I wouldn't stress yet; after all, it's only been 3 business days since the petition's arrival at Dallas Lockbox. The case won't get processed there anyway. It has to go either to the California or Vermont Service Center (depending on where in the country you live), and then it's a week or two before an NOA, usually. I've seen it take up to three weeks with some cases on here.

Do you know why it gets sent to the lock box first?
