Just started myself actually. Mailed the I-130 over the weekend! We're both living abroad in Canada, so I'm hoping for the slightly expedited processing. My work permit in Canada ends August 31, so hopefully we can minimize the time apart as possible!

Hey All,

We are a bit worried here as our I-130 package was signed for at the Chicago Lockbox on April 28th but we have not received NOA1 by email or SMS despite requesting it and nothing in the mail yet.

We cannot see if our check was cashed as was got a check issued from our bank (a bank check) and as such the funds were taken from our account when we got the check.

We're not sure exactly what to do :/

Anyone got any thoughts?

Zach & Liz.
