10/01/2007 Filed I-130 with NSC

10/05/2007 were asked for additional paperwork

10/15/2007 sent them to NSC

Hi Evgeniya - in your timeline you say you were asked for additional paperwork quite quickly after you filed - was there something in particular missing? - at least you know they got your form in the first place if they noticed something missing. Perhaps that slowed it down for some reason when they got sent on to the Chicago place - you might have been bumped back to a later box in whatever system they use and so your NOA1 is a little later than other Oct filers? Just speculating about that of course - still not sure how they work the receipting system when we have people from Aug and Sept still without NOA1s but some people from Oct have them.

Hi Isma. They asked for more letters from our friends to prove bonefide marriage. We sent them on Oct. 15th and they got it on Oct. 22nd. You might be right it could slow down the process. I just worry nevertheless. And thank you for the good point, since they have asked for more letters it means they did recieve our petition. Good luck to everybody who filed in August, September, October and November (LUCKY US!!!!!)

That's really interesting that they asked you immediately for letters to prove bonefide marriage - there's been lots of speculation on these boards what people should send when they live in separate countries to prove their marriage. Had you sent anything else in the original application apart from your marriage cert? Photos, etc. Did they ask for a specific number of letters?

We sent 3 letters from friends/family, some wedding photos and proof of flights to see each other over the last three years. But we were just guessing really what they might want.

With our petition we didn't send any letters at first or pics. When they asked for letters from our friends vouching for our marriage, my husband sent I think 10 of them and information about our joint bank account in the US and wedding pics. I think that is all. They didn't signify a number of letters.

E-

They asked for all that on the first go around........but u had your marrige certificate in there yes? Strange, but not a NOA1 just for scanning purposes??? hmm...... did you call to see if there was one issued or is your check/money order not cashed - this one is a thump in the head for sure///// It sounds like an RFE but yet I was under the impression that a basic scan was done with the first go around, i.e., meaning everything signed, check in correct amount and all areas filled in correctly...

Confused shakes sleep from head and wonders on this.

HI All,

This is a very nice effort by some one who created this thread,by this we can check out similar cases, now coming to point my wife sent i-130 petition on nov 7th and they received on nov 9th( as per usps tracking number).

As per the USCIS Application and Receipting Update of chicago lock box, the date we should get the receipt is passed,my wife called them on 1-800-375-5283 but there is no person respnding only automatic voice recorder is playing around.

can anybody help what i should do now.

Thanks in Advance.

recd our NOA1 today -- late Oct filer -- Vermont

[Evgeniya 3]

Hey guys! Our check was cleared today, which means we are going to get our NOA1 in a mail soon. We originally sent our petition on October 1st but had to send more papers on October 15th and NSC got it on October 22nd. So I guess we are late October filer. Which also means that early November filers will catch up next week or so. So Roza, jus a little more wait for you. Zorro, I don't know what to say.... sigh

SusieK, yes of course we sent our marriage sertificate, we married in the US two years ago so that should've been very straight forward. Most important thing is we are not lost in USCIS cyber space.

[MsZ 6]

I've no evidence they cashed the check, suprisingly enough. I check for it every day.

Hiya

heyjimi, how are you doing? I think Asians have their turn at the end.LOLOLOLOLOL

Only vermont is doing well while CSC and Texas are moving like the tortoise.

The thing we can do is only wait. Wait and see.

Finally we got our NOA1 too!!

(sent on july 27-28 (as i remember), they had lost that petition, then sent the second one (copy) on the october 27)

They cashed our check today and today also we got the NOA1 by the post!

*sighs* I'm still without any word, and I sent mine sept 4th, coure, I didn't think of a tracking number, so the only proof that I sent it then is now the petitio itself. I'm just assuming its lost, so I sent in another one.... so now I guess I'll follow the early january group. If they some how "find" mine then great!!! but I'm not going to try waiting another month or so only to find its hopless. I suggest to those of you who are waaay behind, to maybe try sending in yours again, just to be safe. *shrugs* the worst that can happen is you are getting in line now, rather than later, best case senario they will find our misplaced petitons today!!!! *sighs*

yeah,i think about doing this everyday,just sending in a new one.Thats the frustrating part,not knowing if it got lost or not,and lets face it,USCIS has not proven to me that they got their act together.I worry very much mine also got lost.
