plz can u tell me what is NOA1 how did you get it that fast ? and how you get it thank u so much

NOA stands for NOTICE OF ACTION. its a letter the USCIS mails to you letting you know they're processing your application. It will also extend your expired greencard for a Year. There is nothing you can do to get it faster than others. it depends on who gets their hands on your application and how quick they start working on it! its just luck!.. so good luck to you

I think you are a little confused. Read the instructions at the bottom of the list again and everything will be clearer.

The NOA1 is an unofficial name for the letter USCIS sends you confirming they got your petition and that your green card is extended for another year past its expiration date, work and travel authorized.

The date you see on the list is the date of receipt ON THE LETTER (so the date the application was received by USCIS), NOT the date we received the letter in the mail. I sent my package on April 2, it got there April 3 (Southern California to Southern California, s it was quick). They issued the letter apparently on the day when they received it, and I got the actual letter in the mail on APRIL 8, even though it was issued April 3.

If one lives in a state that is far away from their Service Center, then it could take a week or more for the letter to reach them. Don't worry too much. You only filed a week ago, my guess is you will be getting your letter later this week or early next week sometime.

Hope this clarifies things.

wow thank you so much , you made it clear for me i appreciate it (F)

Here we go...

As much as I love you all, I didn't miss this process, and I certainly didn't miss dealing with the California Service Center.

That is correct, however the NOA1 and the biometrics appointment letter are in most cases received within a month of filing I-751. So it's safe to assume that the vast majority of people will get their letters within a month of filing. If not, a call to USCIS or an InfoPass appointment may be in order, in case the letter has been lost in the mail etc.

It seems like California tends to be a little quicker in that department, with NOA1 and biometrics letters received within 2 weeks or so of filing, whereas Vermont tends to be on the slower end of this timeline. Yet, with both Service Centers, the vast majority of filers get their letters within the above time frame.

Then for the actual adjudication of the petition, it is indeed pure luck. Some get processed quicker, others are processed slower and there isn't much (if anything) one can do to speed it up.

Still waiting for my check to be cashed... and still waiting for NOA1. Hopefully we hear something this week, because if we don't, we're going to have to make an infopass appointment or something to see about an extension as his green card expires on the 26th of this month. :|

Did you send your package with a tracking number (i.e. do you know when it was received?)

The date on my NOA1 was 4/3 (the same day when it was received, according to USPS tracking), but our check wasn't cashed until 4/8.

Yeah, they got it. I got the card in the mail a few days ago. We went ahead and set up an infopass appointment for Thursday since it's so close to his expiry date.

Sara L · April 16, 2013

I sent my I 751 last week too. I will add mine to the list too.

My check is not cashed yet until today, 4/16/13. I am really starting to get worried.
