Ok...so I received this in my email inbox this evening:

"Your case has been accepted and routed to the USCIS Nebraska Service Center for processing. Within 7-10 days by standard mail you will receive your official Receipt Notice (Form I-797) with your Receipt Number XXXXXXXXXXXXX. With the official Receipt Notice (Form I-797) you may visit www.uscis.gov where you can check the status of your case using My Case Status. We suggest you wait until you have received your Form I-797 before checking My Case Status."

When I receive the official Receipt Notice within7-10 business days - would that be considered as my NOA1?

Or can I consider the email as my NOA1 and update my timeline with today's date as receiving my NOA1?

I want to be as accurate as possible with dating my timeline.

Basically once you have your receipt number, that's your NOA1. Congratulations. All the best!

Thanks - I know it's the first step and then the anguish of waiting at least 5 months begins. But exciting nonetheless.

I will occupy my time learning as much as I can about the next steps and preparing.

The cold is gone- Spring is here....time to hit the gym and keep myself busy while playing the waiting game.

Hey. Don't worry. At least you know the reason for the rejection. I suggest you start all over again and this time, use FedEx to send your package. I believe things will be just fine. Hang in there.

Sorry to hear - but get right back at it.

Resend using Fed Ex or UPS. I believe it would be another address if you decide to use private mail. Check the I-130 instructions to confirm.
