Hello I’m the beneficiary here , my wife filed the form 1-30 on 6th feb 19 and the money was deducted on the 13th .. please what does it mean ? 

Hello welcome and that means they cashed the money you and your wife should receive or should have received the NOA1. you might want to call them if you didn't get an email or letter in the mail to find out your receipt and service center information

Hello all I thought I wrote in this topic before I filed 1/25 they received 1/29 information sent to via text my office is Potomac and I got my letter 2/4. I know they say every month the processing date changes. last month it was telling me June something the same time I will be with my husband. Well since it's a new month I check and now it says April I hope to hear something soon but I'm not going to stress I figured 2 more visits video and working like crazy next year will be here soon. It's already March lol. Good Luck to all and congrats to us all because we already winning the fight

Hi everyone,

 

We finally received the NOA1 in our mail with notice date 21-2.

We are assigned to Nebraska unfortunately I read on the other forums that process time is now taking up to 14 months before receiving a NOA2 from Nebraska!! Anyone any idea when/why this will take this long?

The visa indicator says 7,5/10 months.

 

Who else is assigned to Nebraska?

14 months is very rare, most approvals I’ve been seeing on this website have been around 9 months. I have Nebraska as well unfortunately, same NOA1 as you! We’ll get through this together!

So many people getting sent to Nebraska, even from petitions from states outside Nebraska's usual jurisdiction!! It's crazy! The workload for the service centers is SO unbalanced.

Heyy guys 

 

We filed by the end of January and got NOA1 in February 6th, our case was sent to Potomac. 

Hopfully the wait wouldn't be long because last I checked they were processing November filers so I'm estimating 3 more months to get NOA2 

 

Good luck everyone

We sent our packet in and it was delivered on Feb 23rd. It was sent to Chicago lock box. They have yet to cash our checks, which makes me worried! No text or email notification of receipt. Nothing in the mail.

For us it took a little longer too,  18 days and than we received it by mail.

some people are waiting for 4 weeks, not sure why.

Hi al, I'm practically new here and wondering if anyone else got their documents returned ? :((

Our lawyer sent our I-130 petition around Feb 21st, and we received NOA (March 12) saying that my husband's G-1450 was invalid, or the credit card info supplied was denied. My husband and lawyer double checked the credit card info so we don't think it was a mistake on our side, he was just never charged the $535.

We filed this thorugh a lawyer and they told us they got several other petitions back, so we figured it was related to govt lockdown, but looking thorugh this topic it seems that everyone's been charged as expected.

Anyway we sent the documents again but this time sent a check, we were so sad it's like going back to square one but oh well.

We got married in late December and intended to apply by late January but ended up doing so in late February, and now started all over in mid March.. good luck everyone!

Our lawyer used a money order and they didn't have issue charging it. We got married in June 2018 and only managed to send ours by Jan 29th 2019 so I get how you must be feeling, but you will get there, stay strong!!

Phoenix lockbox received my package on 22nd February 2019. Got NOA1 on February 27 2019. Processing center is Texas. Long wait for NOA2 starts now. We will get through this long wait guys. I know it is difficult to be apart from your spouse for a good 1 year or so. Let's stay positive and patient and we will be reunited with our loved one very soon!
