I want to start out by saying that I am posting this thread in hopes of finding others like myself that are also going through the I-601A filing process. I cannot find anything on the internet besides lawyers guessing as to what the possible outcomes may be.

I filed the I-601A at the lock-box facility in Chicago, IL and they received it on March 20, 2013. Yesterday they send me a text and email stating that they had accepted my application a receipt number starting with MSC was given. I'm assuming this means it will be sent to the Missouri National Benefits Center. Today, March 22, my case status is online to check on the USCIS webpage. All it says is that it received my fingerprinting fees and they will send me an official letter in the mail explaining the next steps that need to be taken in this process.

I already have an approved I-130 (IR-1 status) and a pending case with the NVC.

There are a few folks using the forum immigrate2us.net to discuss 601A process. It's a nice community. You can see timelines, post your own, etc. Just a few of us so far, but it is great to have company!

I've searched this site before and I am having trouble finding a thread. Could you post one? I swear sometimes I'm the first one who has filed this form! Every time I send USCIS something, call them with a question, or get a notification, they update their website or correct an error.

Our lawyer sent our Provisional Waiver packet & NVC documentation (had already paid the NVC fees) on Thursday March 14. I received the email message from "Do Not Reply Lockbox" late this past Friday night saying the National Benefits Center received our case & gave the MSC number. I am under the impression Lockbox is solely related to the waiver packet, because I didn't think the Lockbox had anything to do with the NVC part, since the NVC stuff goes to the National Visa Center. I'm thinking the two sets of documents are going to two separate places, but I could be wrong.

I don't understand what you mean about the fingerprinting, unless your case is different because your profile says your consulate is Armenia. Our consulate is in Mexico and my husband isn't getting his fingerprints/medical exam until he's back there right before the interview.

I know how you feel about it feeling like we are the first ones to go through this new process. I think we will all be okay, I just don't want the amount of time he has to be in Mexico to be too longer. : /

I just received my NOA in the mail. It says they will schedule a biometric appointment soon and will mail me the appointment date and time. Thank you hellorebecca for recommending the immigrate2US.net. It has been very informative and I have the name desertflower on their blog now. They worry me a little because I didn't do things exactly the way some people did (especially those who have attorneys) ....but I followed all of the instructions on the form and did my homework (even made an appointment with an USCIS officer to confirm information...so we shall see! (crossing my fingers). And no, Mrs.A2010, my husband is from Mexico too :)

My lawyer told me they sent my I 601a application on March 7th. I had already noticed the NVC about my case and paid all fees. I'm a little concerned because as of today, March 26th I have not received any emails or texts saying that the lockbox received my application. Has this happened to anyone?

I recommend this link: http://immigrate2us.net/forum/showthread.php?115627-Provisional-Waiver-Discussion-and-Information/page51

They have many people like you who have not received anything and filed early March. My guess is that either your lawyer did not send a form G-1145 (for text and e-mail notification) or that only your lawyer received the receipt notice and you haven't gotten your copy yet. Call USCIS, they should be able to help you: 1-800-375-5283

How many hardships did you all send evidence of?

I wrote what many have suggested and according to Laural Scott's web site: http://www.scottimmigration.net/content/i601memo

She said to only use your top 4-5 strongest arguments. Any more than that would "overwhelm" the adjudicator.
