I129f September 2017 filers

[Mrsjackson 300]

Hey other sept filers, 

 

We filed ours on the 17th - does anyone have an estimate for how long we should expect the NOA1 to take? I tracked the USPS delivery and it made it to the PO box a few days after (wednesday) but the money is still in my fiancé's account. Any September filers that filed earlier that can give me an idea? Thanks and good luck

You should have him check his account either tomorrow or Tuesday morning. That's how I found out. I sent mine on the 1st and it arrived on the 5th due to the holiday. On the 7th I checked my account during the day and nothing had been withdrawn. Friday morning I checked at 7am and had an email from my bank stating the large withdraw and when I checked the account it had the USCIS draft. Later that day (8th) I received the text and email and the NOA1 arrived on the 14th.

About 3-4 weeks for NOA1 but some have been sooner.

 

If you go back through some of the postings here in this forum, and look in their signature box or at the bottom of their posting you will get a glimpse of their timelines. Also, if you create a timeline and their is a box just above the information on the left column that says "show similar timelines" and if you select that you will be taken to a page that shows about 10 ppl that are near or close to your processing dates and you can see what they are experiencing.

my package arrived now im awaiting my NOA1 

[Teza 4]

Hi September filers! We mailed our package on September 9 and received NOA1 on sep 23

[Ёжик 32]

Hello September!
We sent our package June 27. But we had problems.
We waited very long, 3 months, to receive our NOA1. And yesterday we received our NOA1. 

Good luck to all, I really hope that we will be lucky with you, and we will all be happy soon.

Hi fellow September filers!  

 

We just received our NOA1 yesterday and the waiting game begins. Hoping for a smooth and fast approval for all our NOA2. Good luck and God Bless to everyone!

OK, so one thing has been bothering me about our petition. My fiance only has one name, "Juliana". I searched and found people saying to use FNU. But some say it means "Family name unknown" and some say "First name unknown". On the I-129f I entered "Juliana" as first name, then put "FNU/NONE" for last name. 

 

Does getting the NOA1 (which we received last Friday) mean that the name was deemed acceptable? Or could we potentially wait months for NOA2, only to be told that FNU should be in fist name and "Juliana" in Last name?

 

Thanks

I am not well versed when it comes to naming nomenclatures so I will reserve comment. But what I can tell you is that getting the NOA1 only states that USCIS has received your file. That's all it is. It doesn't mean your submission is error free or that FNU is in the wrong spot on your application.  At this point, I recommend that you sit back and wait till either a 221g arrives or you get a notification that you been given an approval a the NOA2 is on its way.

 

Read up on what happens when your file arrives at the TX lockbox. https://www.uscis.gov/about-us/directorates-and-program-offices/lockbox-intake/lockbox-intake-processing-tip-sheet  Scroll half way down the page for the intake procedures.
