My case is finally showing up on the status page. It also just says it was received.

I just checked my status and it shows a RFE on Oct 6th. They actually received my I-130 on Oct 16th, must be a typo. It's not good getting a RFE, but at least they are working on it I guess. How long does it take to get the reason or can I call?

Request for Additional Evidence Notice Was Mailed

On November 6, 2014, we suspended processing of your Form I-130, Immigrant Petition for Relative, Fiance(E), or Orphan, Receipt Number LIN1590xxxxxx, because we need more information from you. Your notice explains what we need from you to resume working on your case. We will not take action on your case until we receive the evidence or the deadline to submit it expires. Please follow the instructions in the notice. If you do not receive your request for additional evidence notice by December 6, 2014, please go to www.uscis.gov/e-request to request a copy of the notice. If you move, go to www.uscis.gov/addresschange to give us your new mailing address.

I got the RFE in the mail today wanting a NSO Marriage Certificate. Normally from my research on this fourm the local is accepted at USCIS and the NSO copy is needed at the NVC.

These take a long time, but I did ask my finance to request advance endorsement so hopefully we will get it soon. I'll also make a request online.

I guess the good part is they are already adjudicating. I hope I get it in time as they gave me a deadline.

Nebraska and I checked with my wife and our request for a NSO Marriage Certificate was expedited on Sept 30th so hopefully she can get it now. She will go there Monday Philippines time. I will also call as I see they can send by courier to me for a fee.

Did you turn in the NSO copy or local register?

I don't think an NSO copy at our end was needed because we got married in the US. Where was your marriage taken place? We submitted certified copies of the courthouse marriage.

We were married in the Philippines so it's a different requirement. Good luck to you!

Hi guys, I'm new here and just as confused.

I mailed my husband's I-130 on October 27th, got an email on november 5th stating they received our case and fowarded to California center. We still have not received our NOA1 hardcopy in the mail. I am a bit worried. I checked the status online and says:

On November 3, 2014, we received your Form I-130, Immigrant Petition for Relative, Fiance(E), or Orphan, Receipt Number XXXXXXXX, and sent you the receipt notice that describes how we will process your case. Please follow the instructions in the notice. If you do not receive your receipt notice by December 3, 2014, please call Customer Service at 1-800-375-5283. If you move, go to www.uscis.gov/addresschange to give us your new mailing address.

So what now?? What is the next step once I receive it? Once it gets approved will they send the NOA2 packet? Sorry, very confused keeping all these steps straight.

hopefully you'll get the hardcopy soon! if not don't forgot to inquire with them regarding it because you'll need the hardcopy for later.

I hope this page will help you in understanding the process:

When do you actually need the hardcopy of your NOA1? I have read here how many couples have not received either one of their NOAs by mail due to unreliable postal services, but still gone through the process successfully.

Good luck on your journey as well Velvety! Hope you'll receive your hardcopy after all, whether you need it or not. Eases your mind to see it on paper !

You are correct Susan, my apologies for that. For some reason it stuck to my mind (after going through so many sites) that hard copies might be asked during an interview but that might not make sense at all. thank you for correcting me and I apologise to Velvety if I had made her worry about it.
