NOA1 Delay

[KIMF 0]

Hi everyone

I tried keep my mind on other things and not be obsessive with this whole procedure, but my God! no NOA1 yet. How could it be that VSC is still processing the July filers? I mean we are in NOVEMBER...!!! ITS NOVEMBER.

So now I have a situation. My sister is getting married in February and it would be a perfect chance for my husband to meet my whole family. Is there anyway I can get him to P.R. on a tourist visa? From what I've heard I think I have the same chance as a Snow Ball in Hell but has anybody been able to do this?

Thanks

November 13, still no NOA1. Has anyone received theirs yet?

Your just so right, its because of the fee increase.

Just pray harder and have a lots of patience... *wink

No NOA for the I130, sent Oct 1, but oddly enough got an NOA for our I129f in like a day.

bizarre.

Hmmmm....this seems to be the case with most filers of the CR1 and then the K3. Did you put the type of visa on the outside of your package you sent in to the service center? I am wondering if they open all packages but just throw aside all the I-130's and proceed on to the I-129's.

For those filing through CSC there was good progress last week. I reckon within two weeks they will have caught up on the naturalisation applications and will then start on the I-130s. Even then I suspect it will be early January before us October filers start getting the NOA1s.

Hmm... that there is an interesting hypothesis....I wouldn't be surprised!!!

At this point, nothing will surprise me about this process

Hi All,

My I 130 was sent on 12th sept to CSC. still no NOA1. we called them they say to wait 90 days. n in the meantime if the cheque is cashed they say we can apply I 129 with a copy of the cheque...

I am not even going to start looking for the NOA1 until January. It's rather depressing, but it keeps me sane.

You do NOT have to wait until the check is cashed - we just sent a copy of the check and a copy of the I-130 and we got our NOA for I-129f the next day from receipt.

Don't wait, would be my advice!

This works unless you are doing the CR-1/IR-1 only.

Yeah, I know, but the poster said "they say we can apply I 129 with a copy of the cheque" - so they don't want to do the CR-1/IR-1 only.

My hubby and i were originally going to just apply for CR-1 because it's such a better visa but looking at the possible wait times we said what the heck.

Rhiannon,

I I filed I-130 on 09/09/2007 to the TCS and the check has not been cashed.

oh, man. this does not bode well.

I filed the I-130 on 10/17/07, have not received NOA1 nor has my check been cashed. Also, for I-130 TSC filers.. I heard that our cases will be transferred to CSC for processing as only Vermont and California Centers do the I-130 processing. Anybody's check been cashed yet?

I'm just as frustrated as everyone else who is also waiting for their NOA1 and for their check to be cashed. I've sent my I-130 on 11/09/07 and recieved by NSC on 11/13/07. As of today, nothing heard and check not yet cashed. In the USCIS website, it says that all forms current. Does this mean that they are not behind in processing or just simply not updating processing dates like other service centers? Both of my husband and I are very worry. PLEASE......... where is my NOA1?

Hey, we sent our package to our jurisdiction TSC but it was transferred to CSC so that might be the same for you too. I wouldn't worry, its nothing personal. There are people that have been waiting since the beginning of August and September for their NOA1. If you look at the USCIS receipting Update, it says as of December 7th, the app.'s have been trasferred, yet again, to Chicago Lockbox for data entry.

hope I was able to ease your mind.... at least a bit. It definitely isn't easy.
