October / November I-130 2007 Filers

[kitty loves moudi 0]

Hi friend how are you doing?

On 22nd September 2007 sent 1-130 to California center

24th September was received there

4th February 2008 got receipt number,

check was en cashed on 6th february2008.

26th February i checked my case status on line ,it says approval notice has been sent to you, i wanna know is that called the NOA2? plz guide me.

Our check was cashed on Friday so I have had a look at the average processing times based on the timelines here. I have come up with the following estimates.

NOA2 received - Late July 2008

Leave NVC - First week of January 2009

Interview in London - Mid February 2009

Move to USA - Late February 2009

With a bit of luck the extra staff at USCIS will speed up the processing to the NOA2 stage so we will all get to the US quicker.

I still hope that October filers are going to be with their spouses for Christmas this year. If our petitions are approved in May-June from there it is another 5-6 months till getting a visa. I have read timelines of folks who filed in early July their petitions got approved in 3 months!!!!!! Why weren't we so lucky? We had to wait as long just to get NOA1. sigh

Yes, the approval notice is referred to as NOA2. Congratulations on your approval!

For all those people who can finally view there case online...has anyone received a touch yet...i know its probably too early to ask that since my case was just inputted on Feb 24th but this whole process is so torturing...I probably would have rather not see my case at all until I got my approval...i probably look at my case status every 10mins....I'm going nuts here....

Well i noticed that 1 of the K3 visa that i sent (The Most recent One) has been touched!

2/24/08 on system

2/26/08 Saw change on date and today 2/27/08

I think this one will be closed, since i sent K3 petition on November and never received noa

and when i called USCIS on 2/25/08 and spoke to Official Vazquez saw on system that the address was incompleted

thats why i never received my NOAs and sent another K3 Application on february 12 and also never received this NOA.

They corrected the error, but told me that they cant send another copy of NOA.

IM SORRY TO HEAR that... even though it was there fault from the start.. how can they send a incomplete address?? i hope things work out for you quick..

Well they had the street name shorted out, no number of my house.

They only had the correct zip code and city.

Since that NOA is generated by a system it will be sent because it has a correct City and Zip code.

But when it reaches to the local post office automatically will be returned to USCIS, since it doesnt

included correct street name and number of the house.

I'm assuming that even though we are Oct/Nov filers that if we received our NOA1 and it says received January 2008 then this is the date we should be going by for processing times?

My husband has called USCIS and told them that we sent our petition in Nov and they said they can not changed the received date which has been entered into their system.
