How long do I wait?

Hello. I mailed my I-129f for a K3 visa on February 22nd and according to delivery confirmation it arrived on Feb. 24th (in Nebraska). I still have not received the NOA1 and the check has not been cashed. At what point should I start to worry and what can I do?

That doesn't seem like a long time to me, particularly for Nebraska. But I know when you're waiting for a reply, it seems like an eternity.

I hope you hear something soon!

Well the only reason I'm worrying is because on this site it says it takes an average of 10 days and looking at peoples timelines seems to suggest that as well.

You sent the I-129F for your spouse to Nebraska???? An I-129F which enables your spouse on approval to apply for a K-3 visa should of been sent to the Chicago Lockbox address and they then forwarded it to the NBC for processing. Had you already submitted an I-130 to Nebraska and received an NOA1? The NOA1 which has to be included along with a I-129F??

EDITED to say 0ops i didnt see your post saying it was I-130
