So I finally decided to give USCIS a call about not receiving my NOA1 and they told me it was sent out 1/26. They don't  know why I haven't received it yet, but they did give me my case/receipt number over the phone so I can track my case online. Is there any way to tell what service center it was sent to without the actual NOA1?

 

I'm no expert, but as far as I'm aware... All of the K1 visas go to the California SC by default. They may transfer your case to one of the other centres, and I'm not clear on the circumstances that this happens for, but if they do, you will get a notification of where you're being transferred to. Hope that helps!

Hi everyone!

 

I am new to the forum, but also a fellow January filer.

 

We submitted on 13/1 and got NOA1 20/1. 

 

I agree with all of you on keeping positive. It seems to have taken about 2,5 months for November filers, and tbh thats the timeline I thought this would take

 

One day at a time, soon we will be together with our loved ones for the rest of our lives! <3

Wow!. Congratulation Art786 and thank you for the new info. I hope it won't take any longer for all December and January filers to get Noa2. 

 

Hope will start moving. Many October files was processed within a month, but some still not done.

Everyone seems to be sending their I-129F applications via FedEx overnight! I was just going to mail it via USPS to the Dallas, TX facility for the cheapest option with delivery confirmation like recommended on http://www.visajourney.com/content/k1guide#proof:
 

 

Is anyone using USPS at all? Why does it seem like everyone's sending it overnight? Just so it's faster? I'm still learning about this process but any advice would be great. Thanks!

I just sent my packet on Friday, Jan. 27, 2017. I used USPS with return receipt requested. I'm pretty sure it's fine...trying to be optimistic.

We sent ours via USPS and it got there without any problems, 2 days after sending. You should be able to track it online, if that helps ease your mind. If you do, you'll see that you get a notification along the lines of 'ready for collection' when it reaches Texas. Don't worry (like I did), that just means that it's ready for someone at the nu-manned lockbox to come and collect.

Just an update, I received my NOA1 hard copy in the mail yesterday (2/2)

So:

1/20 - Sent date
1/24 - Received date
1/27 - Check cashed and Receipt date (from the NOA1)
2/2 - NOA1 Hard copy

Jamaica will be just fine. Make sure all your files are correct and sign.

Hello all! I'm in the waiting game also and am starting to get nervous, I included a G-1145, used overnight FedEx on Jan 9, confirmation of delivery Jan 10 in Lewisville. Nothing since. I've received no text, no email, nothing in the mail, and my personal check hasn't been cashed. Have I done something wrong?

What amount did you send on the check? The fees increased quite recently, so if you were using the old information, perhaps that's why nothing has happened...

Thanks for the reply, I enclosed $340. Is that not the correct amount?

[henljo2 0]

Just saw the fee is more. Grrr. So, should I call their customer service number? Where do I send the excess? Will they reject it wholesale? Mildly freaking out.
