OCTOBER FILERS

[albkos 1]

My check cleared yesterday. yippee. Now I have one question... Does the NOA1 actually say NOA1 online, or is this what everyone else is seeing?

Application Type: I129F, PETITION FOR FIANCE(E)

Current Status: Case received and pending.

On October 15, 2007, we received this I129F PETITION FOR FIANCE(E), and mailed you a notice describing how we will process your case. Please follow any instructions on this notice. We will notify you by mail when we make a decision or if we need something from you. If you move while this case is pending, call customer service. We process cases in the order we receive them.

Wow.......we sent our peitions in on the same day...Nothing yet for me...

Happy that at least you know they have acknowleged your petition.

Lucy4, yep, that is the NOA1 (proviso: I've never seen an NOA1; my check hasn't even cleared!). I think officially they just call it "Notice of Action" and it is form I-797. VJ uses NOA1 and NOA2 to differentiate between the notice that they've opened the file and the notice that they've approved you; USCIS just uses "Notice of Action" for both.

Well, I may not have any good news about our petition, but at least i have a plane ticket for the next visit.

Thanks guys. Please keep in mind though that I haven't received anything in the mail yet either. I sent mine certified express mail with return receipt requested on the 10th. I saw that it was delivered to VSC on the 12th through the USPS website, and I still haven't received the green receipt card back from VSC. Luckily for me, they finally cashed the check yesterday evening, and so I am able to follow up online. I was never so happy to see money gone from my account. Best wishes to everyone, myself included.

since we are new on this journey.. would like to understand a few things regarding the processing time..

on this website https://egov.uscis.gov/cris/jsps/Processtim...eviceCenter=CSC it says the processing time for K1 is now up to april 12 2007.. however, on the other link http://www.uscis.gov/portal/site/uscis/men...00045f3d6a1RCRD the receipting time is up to 7/30/2007 for CSC..

what's the difference here..

does the first link refer to from the date of receiving package to case approved??

2nd link means from the date of receiving package to NOA1 issued?

I do hope it doesn't take 3 months to receive NOA1.. seems the oct. filers who post here got quite some good luck if the 3 months is the truth.

One other thing that confused us is the time line still shows TSC and NSC.. I thought they don't handle K1 anymore?

Ok.. just found this link

***removed***/forum/showthread.phpt=1364. (Gosh.. can't believe they censor the other website.. that's not very helpful if their intention is to help the waiting ones!).. anyway.. the other website is the family based immigration dot com (all together without space).

something wrong with my eyes or?? Seems like on Sept 21st they are handling application up to sept 13th.. and on oct 12th.. they are going backwards instead???

Someone can correct me if I'm wrong, but I believe the first link shows the date of the oldest petitions they are currently working on right now (yes, for NOA2). The second I'm not entirely clear on but I think it is the same thing--oldest petitions they are still getting out the NOA1 for?

The timeline still shows TSC and NSC because, even though they have not actually been processing petitions for a long time, people who filed before July 30 were still told to send their petitions there. People who sent their petitions to Nebraska or Texas earlier this year would still have them pending (though those petitions were forwarded to California to be processed---gotta love the efficiency of our government, no?).

I just received notification that my NOA1 was mailed on the 12th at CSC.

Lucy4, VSC recieved my I-129F on Oct. 13th, so hopfully my check will be cashed soon also. I keep checking, but nothing yet. I see myself going crazy if I keep this up....lol. Good luck!

After calling the customer service number, really nothing can be done until 4 weeks have passed and haven't received any information...

I'm going crazy, considering the petition was received 2 weeks ago today....And it seems like Vermont is sending out NOA1s for cases received last week!?

Lucy -

Since your check just cleared. Maybe you have the same bank as the VSC??

But how did u get the number on the back of the check so quickly?

I do online banking, so I can view my check front and back online.

If you do not do online banking, your bank can get the image of the check for you immediately. But it has to clear first.

Newest October Filer is here. I sent my I-129F package to CSC on the 16th and was delivered on the 17th. Good luck to everyone on the journey.

Hello, my I129F was sent to CSC on October 5th, so I thought I'd add my name to the list of October filers! Wish me luck and great patience...

NOA1 arrived quickly, it was mailed on October 11th and landed in my fiances mailbox on October 16th! Word is that CSC has added extra staff to deal with the backlog, so hopefully our waits won't be as long as some of the others before us that I've read on the forums... Have to stay positive, right?

Good luck everyone!

By the way, I can't figure out how to add the nifty timeline at the bottom of my posts like the rest of you, I assume that's an automatic signature or something? How do you do it?
