Should I Be Worried

[mmiller2001 6]

I submitted my I-129f 37 days ago and roughly received my electronic NOA1 a week later. However, I never received my paper receipt and my case never showed up on the website. So today I called and was given to a tier 2 representative. She said the application is on file and in process, but that a representative would call me back in 24 to 48 hours to explain the problem. I asked, "was their a problem with the application" and she said no, but a rep. would call me to explain why its not in the system. Should I be worried about my application. FYI, it was sent to the Vermont processing center.

Hard to say if you should be worried…. Do you have a receipt number? A receipt number is generally included on the electronic NOA1 and also the official Form I-797c Receipt.

Get back with more details as they become available.

Yes, a receipt number was generated and my check was cashed.

Those are good signs, USCIS acknowledges that they have your petition (you have a receipt number), and you know that they have your money. It sounds like you just have to hang tough until the rep calls you back within 48 hours. If they don't call back in that allotted time, call the USCIS hotline, ask for a Tier 2 rep and get the explanation of the issue.

Hang in there.

Good luck on your visa journey.

You can check your status online at USCIS website every now and then. Just put your receipt number and you'll see which stage you're on.

Best of luck and God bless.

That's the original problem. 30 days from receiving my electronic NOA(1), it still shows as case not found on the web site.

Relax your case will be process the services center is just slow in processing cases. Since you got your recepit number and your check has been cash just wait. Moreover did u send all your evidences with the application if not you better do so now.

The real problem is that you didn't get your NOA1 in the mail. You will need a copy of this paper at the embassy for the interview I think(or maybe you can just print the NOA1 you get by e-mail... I don't know. But you should make sure to get the answer about this when you talk to a rep again.)

I wouldn't worry too much about the website thing... If you read some of the posts in the forum you'll find out that a lot of people never got their case status updated online, or they did but way after recieving papers by mail... So the fact that it is not updated doesn't necesarily means anything.

They have your file, you have a reciept number, they are going to call you back so it means they are checking everything is alright. I don't think you should worry. Relax and wait for their call.

Yes, all that was required and I also front loaded.

Hmm, I called and they are not able to print another copy of it. I did save the email, but I will not have the actual form to send to her. Shucks..

In reading, it doesn't appear that the NOA1 is something that needs to be sent to my fiance...Just the NOA2 when/ if I'm approved.

Your are right... so sorry. My mistake!... Seems you are fine then

Thanks for your help. I got worried because on the K1 flow chart it indicates paper receipt 2-3 weeks from when the processing center receives it. Not receiving it made me feel like the processing center never received my package.
