Hi. Okay I'll give it a few more days. what do you mean it's okay that they cashed it out? Is it possible that they're processing it or there's still a chance that they'll regret it? I read somewhere that starting Sept 12 2018 they will no longer give out RFEs and can instantly reject or deny an application. Are you familiar with that?

That doesn't affect the K-1 visa what you read (Sept 12, 2018).

@Greenbaum do you happen to know the number of days before contacting USCIS if you haven't received a NOA, but the check has cleared? I think this was @mixiegirl's main issue.

Hi. So here's our timeline for K-1 Visa:

-Oct 20 2018, packet sent

-Oct 24 2018, check was cashed out.

 

But until now, we haven't heard or received anything yet The best silent indicator is that your package was received (I hope you sent your package with tracking information) and that your check has been cashed. Now the waiting begins. We didn't fill out the e-notif form so we won't get any text or e-mail from them. Is that normal? Yes this is normal. Can someone tell me what to do? See below.

 

Calling to USCIS for inquiry requires the Case num which we don't have yet.  You do not have to USCIS. You will call NVC in another 6-7 months. Your mileage may vary.

It's early in the game and I have noticed by your questions your very tense as to what is about to happen. There is so much that has been written about this process. If you take a little time and begin from page one on this thread and even the thread dated a month prior to this one, you'll learn so much.

 

There is a process in place but if you don't trust the process by the time you reach your interview in 8-9 months you are going to be crazy. This is why I say that you need to read the thread as most of your questions have already been asked a 1,000 times.

 

Then, if you have a question we are here to help.

2-3 weeks is the normal time that one needs to wait for the NOA1.

1. If the check has been cashed by USCIS, then they have accepted your petition and have started processing on it (this takes 6.5 - 7.5 months currently).
2. They are processing it, if they had already rejected your application you would have received a rejection notice via mail.
3. I have no idea about this, I don't think that's entirely accurate. Their website states that the USCIS Adjudicator can deny it without asking for more evidence, but for an Alien Fiancé visa I doubt they would do this. I may be wrong, but I think some people have recently posted about a RFE. You wouldn't get an RFE this early anyway, so this is definitely not the issue.

 

In the mean time, check the details on your application are correct. Check the mailing address you supplied for the USC.

 

 

 

 

 

 

Thank you very much. I do hope we’d get the hard copy soon. Have a nice day!

Your mileage may vary. Just give a little more time.

Agreed with Greenbaum. Mine was misplaced sometimes somewhere at the Lock Box for 1.5 month. After 30 days we did not receive NOA1 nor cheque being cashed. I was supposed in August filers, initially, but unfortunately ONLY received our NOA 1 dated 18 October.

 

Ours be liked:

I-129F sent: 8/17/18

Received at Lock Box: 8/21/18

Called USCIS 1st: 9/21/18 (asked to wait another 2 weeks for them to check)

Called USCIS 2nd: 1st week Oct (with 2nd tier officer, they will resend the receipt)

Cheque being cashed: 2nd week Oct

Received text message NOA1: 10/20/18

Received hard copy NOA1: 10/26/18 (NOA 1 dated 10/18/18)

NOA 2: xx/xx/19 (by VJ timeline 15/4/19)

Our check was cashed last Oct 24. I just find it strange that we haven’t received any hard copy unlike others who files like a week after us already got their hard copies last week

Did you get around to checking if the address you provided on the I-129F was correct?

Also, I looked at my tracking notice and it says to call this number if you don't receive a receipt: 1-800-375-5283

Yes. USPS. 

 

I recommend signing up for informed delivery to see what mail is arriving

Please don't compare what is happening to your process to others as every case is different. You'll get a copy soon. If not, pick up the phone and call USCIS for a copy. Ask them to fax it if you want it sooner then mail.
