Hey everyone, I just wanted to let you all know that I mailed my I-751 today by Express Mail to the California Service Center. I am hoping that I have beaten the fee increase (it will be postmarked today, July 26, 2007). But we all know how the USCIS can be, and I'm not counting on anything! I will keep you updated on the progress, which will hopefully be soon. Does anyone know where we go to check the status of our petition online, or where we find out if it has been received or not? I remember checking online with my I-130 but that was forever ago now and I can't remember.

Also, I concentrated mainly on the time since I received my conditional residence, rather than from the time that we were married (the USCIS should already have all that info from our I-130 and CR1 applications, right?) for my evidence of our marriage. I know the instructions say from the time the marriage began, but I think my evidence would have been five hundred pages long that way, and even with the way I did it, the packet is about an inch thick. I know it's better safe than sorry, but I hope my evidence will be enough. Any opinions on this? I'd especially like to hear if anyone did their evidence in the same way as I did and didn't have any problems. :)

Thanks guys!

Congrats on beating the fee increase. Your NOA with a WAC number can be checked at USCIS website. If you sent out your paperwork Express Mail, you can ck USPS website with the tracking number to tell you when they received it. CSC seems to be going pretty fast lately...see our timeline.

Yay! I just found out that CSC cashed my check (which means I beat the fee increase which I was hoping to do) and I got my NOA1 in the mail today, August 14. The notice date on the letter is July 26, 2007, which was the day that I mailed my I-751 to the CSC. So I guess now I just have to wait for my biometrics appt. Could they still send me a RFE or would I usually have gotten that first? Either way, I'm feeling good now that I have the one year extension in my hand!

Good luck to all of you, I will keep you posted!
