I-129F NOA1 not yet received

[lanza_david 1]

Hi, I mailed the I-129F on December 6th 2024, marked delivered by USPS on December 11th, and the check was cashed on December 16th. 

I have not received the NOA1 yet. It does not show up on my USCIS online account either. 

I hear people get the NOA1 within a couple of weeks. When should I call them? what number should I call them to?

Thanks for the help.

Based on this, I assume you filed the G-1145 with your petition and received the text from USCIS with your receipt number? With the online account that you can create for the I-129F, there is no way to look at documents related to your case. If you did get the text with the receipt number, and I see they cashed the check, that means they received your case officially and it is in the system. The NOA1s via USPS  lately seem to be taking longer than they used to. I've seen comments of 4-6 sometimes even 8 weeks to receive it.

No, I did not file a  G-1145, I did not know I could do that  

 

Thanks for your reply, I will wait patiently for the NOA1 then. 

 

G-1145 says that should be mailed within 10 days after application has been accepted though, but oh well. Maybe it has not been accepted yet, just the check was cashed. 

 

Is there a number to call if there has been more than 8 weeks with no response?

If you didn't file the G-1145 with the petition or within 10 days of acceptance then you will probably just have to wait. If they cashed your check then the petition was accepted (meaning they had no reason at the initial inspection to reject it and send it back to you). You can try to go to uscis.gov and click on "Chat with Emma" and request to chat with a live agent.
