No NOA1 hardcopy

[arlex223 0]

we have received an email on November 29,2012 saying that our case has been accepted and that we will receive by standard mail an official receipt within 7-10 days but we never got any,I checked our case with the receipt number that they gave in the text,using MY CASE STATUS in their website and it says-INITIAL REVIEW...

is this normal?are we ok?

do we need the NOA1 in the future?

should we call USCIS ?or should we just wait?

You are OK with ur petition, but better to call them n let them know about ur hard copy of NOA1, but sometimes it takes 15 to 20 days.

NOA1 is not that important, but if I were you I would call them to check if the address they have is correct. Cause if they dont have the right address then you wont receive the hard copy of NOA2, and that one is very important, your fiance will need it for the interview.

Here are some tips for when you call USCIS: http://www.visajourney.com/forums/topic/293330-calling-uscis/

The important thing about the NOA1 is the receipt number, since you already have that by way of the USCIS email…. you are good to go.

Now, the I-797, K-1 Petition approval (NOA2) is a different matter. A copy of the NOA2 is necessary later on in your immigration journey for the AOS process.

Good luck.

we have the same situations.we received our noa1 jan 16 but until now we have not yet receive the hard copy. when i checked our status online it's in initial review and says alien # was changed relating to your i129f. confusing..

I also am in the same situation. Received my NOA 1 on March 8th, 2013 and its April 1st, 2013 now and haven't received my hardcopy yet. I'm seeing where it's not too important to have and I rechecked my paperwork and I have the correct address listed. Maybe this is a new paper saving thing they are doing by not sending the NOA 1? I'm worried because I may not receive my NOA 2 if I haven't got my NOA 1 in the mail. I will call this week. My case says also "Initial Review".

Don't need the hard copy...took 45 days to finally receive mine.
