Your letter should arrive within 3 or 4 days. (:

Well the thing here is that both me and my husband are outside of the U.S. so I don't think any physical letter will arrive all the way here to Georgia. There is an option thought on USCIS website to report the absence of notice .. maybe i'll try doing that and changing the mailing address. I'm really curious to which service center was our petition transferred to.

Nyokie, have you still not received your letter yet?

No not yet, maybe today or tomorrow, but I told my husband to call and find out. See if they will tell him.

But I do know whenever I do get it I will put a date to when I get it, I already putted when they sent it so I know for next time I will know how long it will take before I get it. 

I AOS1 letter did take a bit long , we did get it on the 22,23 or 24 of September I can’t remember but I know it was one of them.

 

fingers cross

Girl trust me this waiting is not easy, maybe they said since yall want be cheap when it comes to shipment we will be cheap too.

I believe it was the 23 because they don’t deliver on weekend so it was on a Friday so that was the 23 of September.

Just saying.

Lord I pray they start approving a lot of September filers in March or else we have to wait for April to be approve.

 I pray that don’t happen.

My husband called USCIS, the lady told him the case is  at Nebraska, the  computer  wouldn't tell her which center it was or where it came from.

 

 

she also say they wouldn't know anything until March 22. That when we will get an update.

 

 

i don't know if it really at Nebraska.

 

 

i wonder if that why we didn't get any letter as yet.

Same goes for us here (we are in Zambia though).  Our update (on USCIS website) says: 

If you do not receive your notice by March 11, 2017, please go to www.uscis.gov/e-request to request a copy of the notice. 

My assumption is that they will electronically send a copy of the notice if you request it?  But I believe you have to wait until the date specified before you can do it.  Might be a good option for you as well?

Wow, it seems like most gets transferred to Texas, which is great I guess? I'm soooo curious to know where we got transferred to! It's killing me haha. I called USCIS yesterday and of course they told me to call back and try talking to an actual immigration officer or whatever so idk. I will try calling today again in a little bit. And I can't request a copy of the notice until march 25 th either so... Did any of you guys who got transferred from Nebraska got approved yet?? :mellow:
