Hey there we got ors off on the same day as yours on the 05/02/2013 by next day delivery USPS. We checked the tracking and it said it was delivered to Dallas lockbox on 05/03/2013 signed by a T Grimett. We are now waiting for Noa1 as well. We sent the payment via a money order so I don't know how to check if it got cashed yet. I hope it gets accepted as its now going on day 5 and nothing yet. From what I have read on this website it seams there is a average wait of between 3-10 days before noa1 is sent.

We are probably going to be re-directed to the Vermont centre.

Let us know how things go with you application so we can see the differences in processing times of the 2 centres as I have heard Vermont centre takes forever to process you probably get through quicker than us .

If you get noa1 pls post the date and I will do the same.

Our petition didn't arrive to Dallas until 05-06-13 (it actually arrived on Saturday the 4th, but USPS could only drop it off at the box without getting a signature and they wouldn't have checked the box until Monday). The check hasn't been cashed yet, so I'm not expecting the NOA1 until maybe early next week. I believe our petition will end up at the California Service center.

Hi all

We just got Noa1 a few hours ago my fiance text me.hooray now the waiting begins. We filed on the 05/02/2013 and it arrived at dallas lock box on the 05/03/2013 Noa1 on 05/08/2013 .I told him to keep a eye out for the hard copy in the mail. I asked him if he had a receipt number in the text but he said he didn't see anything. Anyone able to tell me if the number comes in the text or do we need to wait for the snail mail to come?

Good luck to all waiting.

Glad to hear you guys got it, too! Good luck. :) There was a number in the email my fiance got, which he forwarded to me, but it said not to check the status online with it till the hard copy was received.

Hey there.

I just tried to check the receipt number online on the Uscis website but itsvsaying the Number doesn't exist. I read previous post on this site and it seems for some the number has never worked for them to check the status of their case. So why don't they ever update the website. Now I can't follow how things are moving along.

You guys or anyone else had the same problem?

Does this mean they will drag their feet since the receipt number doesn't work and the sites not been updated regularly.

Timeline

Cool. Lets hope things move along quickly I have November 12-16 timeline according to the calculator it seems a long way away but then again looking through the thread I see some people didnt get a reply for well over 9-10 months god I pray we don't go that long.

The estimate on mine says December 7 - 25. I was hoping my fiancee could be here before the end of the year but it looks like that's not going to happen.
