What should I do?

[eric_and_teresa 10]

I sent my 129F on the 8th of may. And I noticed that most people get their first NOA within 10 days. I called USCIS and they said I should call back the 5 of June if I havent heard of anything. Should I be concerned? Should I call them again? Is this unusual?

I'm just freaking out because it seems like everything I do turns astray, and I want to make sure they recieved it so I can send another if they didnt get it or whatnot.

As mentioned the Fed Ex could track it if you registered it. How did you pay? If with a check, has it been cashed yet?

Which office did you go through? west coast is a bit slower in there response times.

I sent it through USPS, and they were rushing me out the door because it took so long to get my passport photo. I'm from washington and I sent it to Nebraska. I didn't send it ground or anything, but first class so it shouldve got there in 2-3 business days.

I'm just wondering if this is normal, or a cause for concern, because im assuming like everyone else, this is seriously putting a strain on my relationship with my fiance.

Edit* oh yeah, I did write a check, and it hasnt been cashed yet. otherwise I wouldnt be so worried.

Hi - I'm from Washington too so that meant I had to send my I-129F to Nebraska. It was received there a few days later (I sent it return receipt requested). Upon reading various threads here I learned that my packet was likely gonna be forwarded over to the Califonria Service Center, where it did eventually get to, where it sat in a pile for nearly a month. I just got my chcek cashed a week or so ago (I was checking my bank account online at least 20 times a day) and saw on the back of the check that I had a case number, and yes I HAD been transferred to CSC just like everyone told me I would on here. Then a few days later I got my NOA1 via snail mail.

I know it's difficult but I would wait another week or so before you called. Don't beat yourself up about how you mailed it and such, what's done is done, I am sure it got there ok. I would keep checking your bank statements online to see when they cash your check and also what was very helpful to me was finding 'freinds' who sent off packets around the same time I did as when one of my new friends here got her check cashed and an NOA1 in the mail, I got mine shortly after.

Keep the faith. Best of luck to you, and keep us posted.

Annette is right, there's nothing wrong with your application. For those of us who file at the NSC it takes a lot more than 10 days to get our NOA1!!! I know it's frustrating cuz we were in your shoes a month ago! Remember than the NSC forwards the applications to the CSC, so it takes longer... for what I've seen it's taking from 30 to 35 days! Check the timelines of other people who applied on NSC since April, and you'll see.

If you call right now, I don't think they will be able to give you any info, other than what we already know.

Be patient, (Yes! It's hard!) But we have no other option during this process but wait

GOOD LUCK!

Thanks for all the support

Its nice knowing that James and I aren't the only ones going through all of this ridiculousness.

But, has all of the cases been sent to california? why didnt they tell us so we could send it there in the first place?

I don't know anything about that

fill me in?

thanks a ton

Just the way it goes it seems, I asked myself that same question being so close to CA to begin with why didn't we just get to file there and save all this forwarding around? *sigh* I am sure there is a logical reason as to why it's all done this way maybe some wise visajourney sage can give us the scoop one day, eh? In the meantime hang in there and vent away, we all feel and understand your frustration.

All the best,

Annette
