Hello everyone! Our package was sent yesterday (Sept 21) via USPS. Expected delivery  will be on Sept 24. We started preparing for it since June. Both of us are super busy with work. Our fiancé letter of intent were both dated June 30. Do you guys think it’s ok? Both being dated on the same day will not affect your application.

Good luck.

There is a service provided by the USPS (US Postal Service) whereby each morning USPS will scan your incoming mail (just the address side of the envelope) and email you an update. It's very convenient these days to have advance notice that an important piece of mail is being delivered.

 

The service is available to most communities but some are still being rolling out so not all areas are available. Check the website with your zip code to verify your location is available for the service. A person in the USA can sign up for this free service here: https://informeddelivery.usps.com/box/pages/intro/start.action

Thank you! I checked but it looks like it’s not available in my town. Maybe because it’s population of less than 550 and we don’t even have mail delivery. We all have a P.O. Box. Haha!

Here is a tip for using another feature here on VJ. Use the tools here in VJ to answer "when I am going to get etc. etc." question. Near your picture there is a link for your timeline. Select it and once you're on the next page near your picture  you will see "follow similar timelines" and it will populate 12 other couples who are near your dates. Scroll down and you will see a "spreadsheet" style page showing all the variables for measurement for when others are getting the same notice of approval or action.  Try it. It really works!

 

I followed those that were in my group to give me an idea where they were in processing so I could judge if I was ahead or behind.  It's pretty accurate, maybe within a day or so.  If you choose to follow those twelve members then you will get an email every time their status updates.

 

Have fun with this new found information.

Thanks so much! I just followed them all.

 

I also got my official NOA1 in the mail and mine is at the California Service Center. 

 

Thanks again @Greenbaum for all of your knowledgeable information!!!!

Hi! Thank you! But I mean that the dates of it are all from June but we just sent our package this September. Do you think that they will think that we took a lot of time before we sent it? Will it be a bad thing? Thank you.

I don't think it could be a problem. They know it takes time to get everything you need to get your package ready.

It's going to be ok. They aren't concerned with that timetable that you used. Just don't over think the process.

Hehe thank you! I’m glad to know that it won’t be a problem. And yeh it took us some time to finish it because he has been really busy with work.

So, because of unforseen circumstances, I'm not at the address listed on the petition anymore and don't have a permanent address yet until maybe the end of the week. I also do not have the option to request my old mail nor pick it up at my old address.

 

The problem is my Receipt date is September 12th and they probably sent the NOA1 to the house, which if they did it's lost to me now. Would I be able to call them next week and request a new one when I get a new address?
