By the way, for people who file in Nebraska who get sent to California, should we keep Nebraska as our service center or should we change it to California? What is more useful for getting statistics up on the time lines that are accurate?

Lol my fiancee was here visiting still when we recieved our NOA1, we got very excited called all of our friends and went out for drinks and celebrating! Be excited every step no matter how small it seems is at least another step down and something to be happy for Congratulations.

every time something happens on your case you should celebrate because that means it's moving along. Congrats.

It is always exciting to know anything gets you one step closer, all information will come from Calif now until the 2 is complete. Register your receipt number/acct number and follow the progress if you havent already.

It is definitely something. They are processing your paperworks!!! Congrats As for the service center, I believe people who file through Nebraska would eventually get their petitions transferred to California for NOA2 issuance. Sit back and relax, buddy! good luck with your journey.

Congratulations! Now you can join the obsessive compulsive checking-the-status-of-your-case-on-USCIS club! Getting NOA1 with case number is a great relief - welcome to the next step!

I would say keep your service center as Nebraska on this site. Though you know it went to CA, you did file through NE first, so you are technically still in the NE category.

Newbie,

There are some rules:

1) Although you won't get a NOA2 for between 70-90 days, you must compulsively check this website and the USCIS website.

2) Since you are now at the CSC, you must look at the people who filed at the VSC with contempt....their NOA2 is approved in about 30 days.

3) Waiting is a virtue, and you will become extremely virtuous.

I'd say to change it to California because that is where your case is.

We sent our application to Texas who forwarded it to CSC so I changed my timeline/settings to California.

You know the logical thing to do would be to distribute the cases more uniformly so that the service centers had closer processing times. I mean, if one service center is overloaded, you'd think they'd try sending more to the one finishing applications in 30 days. I wonder why this hasn't been done.
