There's no service center in Chicago, only field offices but those are used only for those in the US already of course. Do you mean the Chicago lockbox? The lockbox intakes all forms and then sends them to a service center, lockboxes don't process petitions

no they dont process petitions but from there to service center

I am beginning to think that our IOE receipts are all arranged in a central server in order of filing. As in first in first out kind of arrangement.

 

So irrespective of service center, our receipts are in same central queue. So approval is not dependent on the service center either.

 

Just my thought though...

We are all praying that this is the case but until we see some from Nebraska get approved too we won’t know for sure 🙏🏻

Hello everyone,

 

we received our first NOA1 July 25th 2019 and VJ is estimating to hear more in January. 
 

any other people apply in July & receive any progress yet? Getting so impatient (I know it’s all about patience!)

 

thanks!

all you can do is wait. Look in the timeline sub forum for people who filed in july and see what is happening with them.
