people tend to hang out here to track case status; there's a whole thread of October filers, so you might get more answers if you post there

my husband who is a USC did not receive our NOA1 too. We got our case numbers at the back of the check online from his account at Citibank when it was cashed by CSC. I registered at USCIS website so that I can found out any updates on our cases.

Well if they send you nothing you can place a service request after 90 days like we did and they will send you a NOA1 hardcopy

I don't know how this will help really.

But we sent from WI to CA on the 2nd October

Arrived CA on the 4th of October

NOA1 issued on the 10th of October

I would call USCIS as I believe they give 30 days for the first NOA before reporting problems.. Have they deposited your check? Do you have any proof that your packet was in fact delivered? Good luck...

Forgot to mention, USCIS has an advisory posted:

Processing Times and Case Status

Applications are processed in the order they are received by application type. The average processing times for all applications are posted on our website. Processing times are an estimate of how long it will take to complete your case. Each case is different; so some cases may take longer than others. You can use your receipt to check your case status on Case Status Online (See the "Related Links" section of this page). Please be advised that we will only research your case if it is beyond our posted processing times (You can also find a link to processing times in the Related Links section).

The processing times are for applications that have been just completed. If you have just filed your application, these timeframes may not reflect how long your application will take to be completed. We encourage you to check processing times before inquiring about your case. The processing times are updated monthly.

USCIS has received a significant increase in the number of applications filed. In July and August, nearly 2.5 million applications and petitions of all types were received. This compares to 1.2 million applications and petitions received in the same time period last year. This fiscal year, we received 1.4 million applications for naturalization; nearly double the volume we received the year before. The agency is working to improve processes and focus increased resources, including hiring approximately 1,500 new employees, to address this workload.

As a result, average processing times for certain application types may become longer. In particular, naturalization applications filed after June 1, 2007 may take approximately 16 - 18 months to process.

When your application is received by a USCIS Service Center or the National Benefits Center, we will mail you a receipt notice. The receipt notice will have all of the important information you need about your case. With your receipt number you can check the status of your case on our website and also register on our website for automatic case status updates as we process your case.

For more information about when and how to contact us, whether your case is outside our processing time, or if there are other issues, please see our customer guide Case Services - How Do I... know what kind of services are available to me after I file my application or petition? also available in the Related Links section of this page.

So this is probably one of the reasons why you are experiencing delays on your NOA1.

Just wait!!! I'm going to make this very specific so you will undertand clearly. I sent mine Sept. 4, I got the respond after two months and two days (November 6, 2007) you just have to wait because can't help it since the holiday is coming too. Base on my accurate calculation you just have to wait 1 or 2 weeks and the NOA1 soon will arrive in your mailbox. However, if that's not going to happen you need to contact the center...

thanks for all your advices, the check wasnt encashed yet UP TO NOW. me and my fiance caught in an argument already due to this. we dont knw where the heck our application is! i read that someone waited for 2 mos and 2 days b4 they receive the NOA1, but ours already lapsed that span of time, its been more than 3 mos since we sent the I129F and til now no NOA1 and check cashed out yet! i hope that before december 2007 ends, we'll get that Noa1 WITHOUT AN RFE.. you think guys its the right time for us to call the uscis to inform about this?

You won't get an RFE until (and if at all) after you receive NOA1, and even that won't happen until they start the actual work on your petition.

If you call USCIS now, they will tell you that you must wait 90 days from the time you sent it before they will initiate an investigation. This investigation can take up to 30 days to complete. However, anecdotal evidence suggests that it almost never takes this long, with more typical times being less than a few weeks.

The good news for you is that USCIS process applications based on the received date. That means that even though you haven't received NOA1 yet, your application will be processed as an "October" petition.

Hope this helps, sorry I can't give you better news. Best of luck to you.
