Good thing because the WAC# was not readable off the check.

The purpose in creating this thread is two-fold; it would be good to keep a track on each other's progress but also because there is seemingly an issue with some applications received by California Service Center in mid-August, it seems necessary to maintain contact with people who are concerned about the filing of their petitions. I noticed a few people have posted concerns on another thread but it might be useful to keep things all in one place.

Here's my story: I mailed my K1 Visa application to CSC on 27th July but it was not received until 15th August, therefore I am technically an August Filer (although I would love to say I am a July filer, ho-hum )

Anyway, I have yet to receive an NOA1 or have my check cashed and under some good advice from a member on the July Filer thread I did a timeline search to see what the status is for NOA1 issuing for August.

What I noticed was very interesting; There is a range of 11 applications sent between the 8th August and the 24th August and not one of us have received NOA1's as yet. There are NOA1's for all other applications sent in August before the 8th and for most after the 25th.

My fiance and I have been wondering whether to resubmit our petition (in our case, this would mean resubmitting with the new fee, which I'm less worried about than the actual time lost) but, it looks to me like CSC have a wad of petitions they are unaware of. This is not one or two applications we are talking about - this is a whole set of applications received between two specific dates (and these are just 11 we know about).

Those of you planning on resubmitting might want to hold off for a while - not least because USCIS have said they will honour the received date as the start date for queuing purposes.

I hope this information is of use to some of you. Those of you who have received NOA1s: congratulations and good luck! Let's keep in touch with one another on our progress.

Thanks,

Tracy

the thread you linked to is a general thread for August filers; babblesgirl was trying to keep tabs on that specific NOA1 situation she highlighted

I don't see why a second thread wasn't warranted (or why it bothers you)

Yes, the thread certainly served a purpose and I will make no apologies for starting it. I think I explained clearly and fully in the introductory post what the purpose of the thread was and it brought together a number of people in a similar situation, which I felt was important under the circumstances. It also attracted comments from more experienced VJers about how to handle this specific issue and as a result we were able to keep our spirits up, keep informed and understand the process more clearly. I believe this information would have been lost amongst a more general 'August filers' thread.

A few of us have only learned in the past two or three days that our petitions have actually received a case number, we are still to hear from others whether they have been as fortunate. Prior to that there was a possibility that we may have to contact congress and take up some form of dispute with USCIS about the loss of our petitions OR resubmit all our petitions next month. This thread would therefore have moved into different territory, but the point is that we had made contact and could have helped one another.

It appears that this issue has just about been resolved and the thread will slow down as people move onto the general filer threads and share, hopefully, a more joyous experience. I too can't understand why the thread would bother anyone but I expect it will disappear in time into the vault of resolved threads and as such will not be a threat to anyone's sensibilities.

Stilltheprettiest, thanks for your support throughout the last few weeks on this thread and others. You have definitely demonstrated a generosity of spirit and posted many encouraging words to everyone going through this process regardless of their situation. Thank you

Hi,

Just for the update - NOA1 was finally in the mail box today. The check has not been cashed yet so I think we are a little bit behind. But we are very happy to know that things are moving again!

This thread has been very helpful for me and I hope to keep staying in touch with August filers here.

Yes, everything is going well. CSC have accepted your petition into the process by cashing your check and issuing an NOA1. You need to use the 'received date' on the notice as an indication to how your application might be prioritised for processing. You can use the receipt number to check the status of your application online. You will hear from USCIS if they require any further information from you. The NOA2 should hopefully be the next thing you receive, but this will take a while yet. Good luck!

YAY! I'm so pleased we all got our NOA1's, what a relief!
