Sent ours Friday, Nov. 7th. (sent to Lewisville address) - priority express mail (USPS)

They received and signed for packet (per online USPS confirmation) Nov. 10th

Received electronic notification (text & email) of receipt from USCIS Nov. 13th (awaiting mailed paper confirmation)

They cashed "check" Nov 13th.

Rerouted to California Service Center.

So even with the holiday this week (Veterans Day) it took them about 3 days to notify us.

I actually have a quick question... Is the electronic copy considered the NOA1?

Hi there! Congrats! I believe the NOA1 is technically when you receive the letter in the mail. I didn't request text/email, but it took about 8 business days for me to get my hard copy letter. Not too bad :)

Welcome to the team! I think the hardcopy is the real NOA1 and the electronic version is just notifying you that youre NOA1 is on its way? Not 100% sure though!

Hi all. Just start my application today. So excited and ready to be in the process. Best of luck for all of us.

Hello and welcome! Good luck to you!

In other news, I had all four of my wisdom teeth out today so I am feeling rather sorry for myself :ot:
