I wish I would have found this forum BEFORE I filed. Answered so many questions I was unsure of.

Anyway. Anyone have an idea of how long before I should receive my NOA1. It's been two weeks. I will go ahead and check with the bank tomorrow to see if the check has been cashed.

I'm just worried because I didn't realize how unreliable the post may be in Cyprus.

Thanks in advance.

Due to employment opportunities, we stalled our process for a bit.

First you should look here www.visajourney.com/forums/topic/529624-january-2015-i-130-filers/

and also, did you do DCF, or mail your petition to the lockbox?

Do you have a tracking number on your package?

I mailed my petition 2 day mail on January 14 and got my NOA1 on January 20.

Thank you for the response.

I mailed my petition to the lockbox. And our postal service didn't offer tracking. Said they could only do it if someone could sign for it at the end, and I wasn't sure how the lockbox worked.

And thanks for pointing me to the other filers. However, it just made me even more worried because everyone seemed to get their NOA1 quickly. Just looking to see if anyone else from abroad had to wait so long, who didn't use express. This wait is killing me :(

The thread that Kastrs linked is a good place to start, as you'll find posters who filed around the same time and some to the lockbox from abroad. You could also try searching VJ for threads by people who have filed from Cyprus and see how long it took them to receive the NOA1.

Did you add the G-1145 to your packet? (I'm not sure where I've seen it mentioned outside of VJ, so you may not have known about it.) If so, my understanding is that they'll email or text the NOA1.
