OCTOBER FILERS

[sweety&baby 0]

NOA1 recieved in the mail today. It is dated Oct. 17th even though they sent my application back because of the amount on my check. I'm very happy to see that they still process it even with that.

I'm glad they kept your receipt date the same!

Okay, stupid question here, but I have a copy of the back of the check (blown up to about twice the size of a check, too) and there are MANY different numbers on there and I have no idea which is the file number/case number/whatever they call it. Is there a certain number of digits in it? Or a certain part of the check it would be on?

[SonoranSongbird 3]

Okay, ignore the above question. It was obvious when I got on the website for USCIS.

For anyone else whose check has just cleared who has not gotten their NOA1 yet, just go on USCIS website and follow the links for "check status online." Their description of which number is the receipt number is very clear (13-digit number beginning with certain 3-letter codes, which are listed there).

I was hoping I would be able to figure it out when I got on the site, but I really never dreamed it would be that clear.

And...

WOOHOO! NOA1 was October 16th! If I did not live in the middle of the cornfields, I'd probably already have it in the mail.

I'm so glad I found this thread, well someone told me about it after I started one just like it lol.

The VSC received my I-129F on Oct. 9 and I recieved my I-797C on Oct. 17, I think that's the NOA1 isn't it?

Well still a while to go unfortunately but, it's nice to know me and my love are not alone, good luck to all of you.

Hi guys,

I noticed this morning my check posted to my account. I went to the mailbox and there was the NOA1. It was a nice feeling. Now come the WAIT! I am trying to get my Juliana to understand that this process takes time. She is under the illusion it will only take 4 months. I keep telling her 6-8 but I will let her dream.

Here is a toast to all! Here is to the first step and expensive phone bills! Salu!

JKD 88--- Parabéns e boa sorte. Nós iremos estar esperando com vocês.

It was nice to wake up and see my NOA 1 and that my check was cashed. Could this be the " The End of the Begininig:)" Good Luck to all of the October filers.

Just curious, how many touches do you guys get following the week after you received NOA1? Ours were received on the 17th and hardcopy arrived on the 22nd, since then, we've been touched twice.

Since holiday season is coming, i wish USCIS still work during those days for the sake we paid for the more expensive price - however, we are receiving a slower service instead!

Wow you both have been touched twice, I've checked the case status religiously since I received the NOA1 and still no touches
