Did they cashed your check? If so, your NOA1 hard copy should arrive soon. Usually, it'll take 1 week to receive but there are some rare cases that reached up to month.

Proverbs 3:5-6

Trust in the Lord with all your heart

and lean not on your own understanding;

in all your ways submit to Him,
and He will make your paths straight.

In GOD we trust. † = ♥

I-129F received 12/24/12

I-797C notice received 12/27/12

how long does it usually take to receive NOA1?

just being impatient/nervous. Sorry.

I-797C=NOA1 (notice that at the top heading of your document, it states "Form I797C, Notice of Action"

Don't worry bud, hang in there. Remember, you can always go to uscis.gov and put your receipt number (WAC##########) and see where your petition is at. National goal for processing time is 5 months. I got mine in about 1 week after yours, and it's killing me being apart, but I'm just buckling down with work, studying for more IT certs, and getting things ready to build a life with my beautiful sweetheart. Just takes time.

Looks like you already have NOA1. Approval notice (NOA2) will more than likely be 5 to 7 months down the road. Hang in there. Patience is needed in every step of this process.

Yes, check was cashed back in 12/28/12.

Hopefully because its been close to 3 weeks already. :(

heres to hoping and praying.

I-797C=NOA1 (notice that at the top heading of your document, it states "Form I797C, Notice of Action"

Really? the I-797C is the NOA1??? I did not know that. If thats true I have a big smile on my face right now! thank you!!!

EDIT: just googled it. I-797C is indeed NOA1 and it all makes sense now.. NOA = Notice of action

my mind id officially blown! lol.. thank you all for the help! :bonk: :bonk:
