Thanks Declee, lion lioness and Ftr Mrs!!! I set up my account with USCIS. Now the wait begins

Future Mrs, you should receive your NOA1 today if they cashed your check already. I received my NOA1 and my check was cashed on the same day.

Lets hope for more January NOA1's

Here's a question:

If we receive our NOA1 that means we won't get an RFE?

NOA1 basically means 'we got it'.

Maybe "NOA" is not the best string of letters to use. The NOA1 merely represents receipt of the application and is the official notice that your immigration case has been created. At this point, your case is at the bottom of a long list and has not been reviewed, scrutinized or judged.

The only thing you can be sure of is that your application materials were sufficiently prepared that a human worker knew to add you to the K-1 inbox

Thus, your "NOA1" is not an indication that your application is complete and satisfactory.

'NOA' stands for 'notice of action' - not sure what other string of letters could be used.

Right; I just mean the 'NOA' bit is easily confused. The NOA1 is a notice of receipt (that's what the action is).

Just for fun, let's change NOA1 to NOR, and NOA2 to Holy Grail.

I'm kidding. There's no need to mess with tradition.

[TracyTN 237]

Right, I gotcha.

I got my NOA1 in the mail yesterday!!!! I sent my package to TSC on 1/16, it was transfered to CSC (Why couldn't it have been VSC?! I can be impatient and this is just the worst! lol). CSC received it on 1/22, NOA1 issued on 1/26, and got it in the mail on 1/31. Whew! We're on our way!!!!

I just checked with my bank and the check was cashed today, but I can't get the case number until tomorrow morning. I am excited, but I better calm down!!

Typical reaction following NOA1 :

Six weeks later...

Typical private reaction after reading about other people's NOA1 :

Congratulations and welcome to the long ride that is 'January'

I can't read the stamp on the back of my check so I will just have to wait for the paper copy in the mail. Congrats!
