Well, guys, I was surprised today when my hubby got home for dinner and handed me a First Notice of Action(NOA1). It seems the process begins. At least, it warmed me up. :)

Just wondering....how did you know you got the NOA1 on 4/6 if you just got it in the mail yesterday?

Is there a way to find out online before getting it in the mail?

Yep, I got it yesterday but in the notice it is stated there the "Received Date" and the "NOA1 Date" with given Receipt Number. Once you get your NOA1, you can check your status online by registering the USCIS site using your Receipt Number. For me, may be it's not the matter when you received it in the mail but it's the matter when they touched or started the process.(Correct me if I am wrong.)

I see that many of you are still posting on the March filers thread, and thought I'd start one for April since a search didn't reveal one.

We began the AOS process when our attorney filed on 3/27/07, and docs were sent to the lockbox. They weren't signed for until 4/2, so I guess we can put ourselves in the April group. :D

Let the process begin!

We hope to file in the next week or so and frankly, I'm just ready to get this paperwork out of the way!! We thought we'd be filing at the end of March, then last week (Good Friday), and here we are - still dawdling!

I think we will feel better once the paperwork is out - but for now there's this immense feeling of nervousness of "starting the process" (at least on my part).

Anyway, I'm determined to be an April filer...and hopefully receive my first NOA soon:-) :wacko:

Naturalization:

06 July 2011 - finally mailed of N-400 package. Not sure why I sat on my #### for about a year...

11 July 2011 - NOA and 23 Aug 2011 - Biometrics (rescheduled at my request; initial one Aug 3)

25 Oct 2011 - Interview - Approved

15 Dec 2011 - OATH DATE - US Citizen!!!

Removal of Conditions:

27 Aug 2009 mailed RoC documents and check (GC expires 09/21/09)

28 Aug 2009: NOA receipt date - received letter in mail on Sept 1 2009 (from ESC)

25 Sept 2009: Biometrics appt - quick, easy...done

01 Oct 2009: Green Card approval - Letter of Approval received Oct 5, 2009 from CSC 06 Oct 2009: Perm GC in mail; Resident since 21 Sept 2007

Adjustment of Status:

1 May 2007 Mailed AoS package:

9 May 2007 NoA date [day 6] 15 May NoA for Biometrics [day 12]

6 June Biometrics Exam [day 34]

6 July - EAD CARD production ordered - WOO HOO!!! [day 73]

26 July - EAD card received in mail [day 83] 30 July - Interview notice received in mail [day 87]

21 September - GREEN CARD INTERVIEW -- Approved!!!!! Acceptance letter handed to us - waiting for GC in mail... [day 140]

I know how you both feel! We were supposed to married in a court wedding shortly after I arrived in Feb. but family persisted and we waited until March...then things came up and not having a computer, and lacking in cash at that moment meant working from the library and saving up money before we could file!

And I know what you mean by having papers all over the place! lol

Hoping we all get our NOA soon! *crossing fingers* :)

Our Mayor did our wedding this past weekend, and we didn't tell anyone in order to prevent that from happening!! Everyone would have wanted to be there!!

We're just waiting on the marriage certificate to get filing!!

Good luck April filers!

I sent the AOS on 4/4 and it arrived in Chicago on 4/8. I am now waiting for the NOA, hope it will be here soon.

I will move to the west coast by the end of this month, hope we can find a place to live soon, so I can file for change of address and I will not miss anything!

I am really worried about this!
