Just received text message that my case was received from USCIS. Just to clarify is this the NOA1? I mailed my package this Monday 7/17, and received text message from USPS that it was available for pick up on Tuesday 7/18 and then a text message saying delivered Wednesday 7/19 at 3:45 in the morning. 

We got an email from "DO NOT REPLY LOCKBOX" that indicated our case was being sent to CA and to wait until we receive the paper notification before we log in the website. Our USPS notification was something completely separate.

Hi everybody!

 

I'm in England and my fiancé is living in Atlanta. He sent the i129f through the mail on Thursday 20th July (when he was in New York).

 

Excited to get the ball rolling :D

Hi everyone, we just posted our file. Should arrive on Monday, anyone has heard back yet? Thanks

Congrats!

 

Several of us have gotten our NOA1s. Keep in mind once it actually arrives at the lockbox, it might take a few business days to process before you get yours.

Hello everyone
We sent our form on 07/12/2017 but I do not know what day it was, we still have not had the check cashed, and for now no answer.
May my patience be the sufficient one, because I am very anxious

Good luck to everyone

Hello all! I wanted to join this thread for encouragement during the long wait! I petitioned for my fiance to come over from the Philippines.

Here is the progress so far:

July 20: NOA receipt came by email

 

It is being process by the California service center. Hopefully the wait is not too long!

Make yourself at home over in the subforum for the Philippines here is the link: http://www.visajourney.com/forums/forum/129-philippines/

2/14/18 - NOA2 Received

5/16/18 - Medical

We just sent ours in on Monday. I wish I had over-nighted it because it's a day late in arriving and will be there tomorrow (the 27th). I'm very stressed because we are expecting our first child come 2nd of March, and we're terrified that he won't get approved in time.
