I-130 Filers March 2019

[scotland2florida 19]

Hi all March filers!

 

We just got our NOA1 via text message today (3/21/19). We sent off our application 3/14/2019.

I’m a little bummed after seeing Nebraska Service Centers processing times. 😭

Unfortunately it is Nebraska. 😭😭

I don’t know why my timeline is showing Texas. It shows Nebraska on my end.

Oh weird, it was showing Texas before and now it says Nebraska.

Welp, at least you're not alone. Plenty of us here in the same boat!

Have they processed your payment? We paid by credit card and they processed it on the 20th. The NOA1 was sent the next day. 

I hope you hear something soon!

Thank you!!! Yeah our lawyer sent ours on 14th and we used a money order so I am just waiting. I have no patience and this process is really testing it.

We sent our petition on Feb 21st and tried to pay by credit card but they gave our docs back on the basis of 'credit card transaction is invalid due to incomplete information and/or the credit card information was denied'

My husband and our lawyer double checked his G-1450, but he was just never charged 😪

 

So we sent everything again on the 14th (or our lawyer did), along with a money order and we haven't heard anything since. 

The last time my hubby got the notice in the mail, not text, I'm wondering how people are getting texts, is it a text from uscis or the bank? Bank would make more sense :P

The text is from USCIS saying that your case was received and it gives you your receipt number, if you included form g-1145 (e-notification) in your petition to be able to receive text and email updates. After you receive your receipt number, you can log into the USCIS website to be sure you have these notifications turned on.

You and I got married on the same day and sent the i-130 package in the same week! I love it. Hopefully by our one-year anniversaries we'll be reunited with our husbands? Maybe?

 

Welcome to the thread--and to the long wait!

What a coincidence! Congratulations!

Of course there's a form for everything 😂 I don't think we filed it, thanks for the info !

I submitted the form and never received a notification, only the letter in the mail. So for anyone else reading this if you don't receive that first notification don't be alarmed, sometimes you just never get it for whatever reason.

But once you get the letter, it has your case # and then you can sign up online to track your progress and receive notifications (10+ months from now if you're with Nebraska lol).

And for what it's worth, I only ever received a text, not an email. It's only really useful in having a heads-up as to when you will receive NOA 1&2
