Hi!

I was following the April group since my fiancé sent the I-129F package on Aprils 24th and the USPS website showed it was delivered 2 days later.

Since we received the NOA1 on May 1st, we are officially the first May filers!

Anyone else out there who got their NOA1 since Wednesday?

Good luck to everyone! :)



huh why did it create two identical topics?

Cell phone log isnt of much importance to your application, you'll unlikely get denied because of it, just hopefully you included other communication and proof of relationship :)

Sent our I-129F package on MAy 1st (the day after I came back from visiting my fiance) and we just got the NOA1 email confirmation today. So excited! It may be a long wait, but it's less stressful to me than before. Now each day is a day less. :) Progress, right?

Looking forward to sharing this (albiet slow) journey with you all! Hopefully they pick up the pace a bit and get out of the slump.

Hey there we got ors off on the same day as yours on the 05/02/2013 by next day delivery USPS. We checked the tracking and it said it was delivered to Dallas lockbox on 05/03/2013 signed by a T Grimett. We are now waiting for Noa1 as well. We sent the payment via a money order so I don't know how to check if it got cashed yet. I hope it gets accepted as its now going on day 5 and nothing yet. From what I have read on this website it seams there is a average wait of between 3-10 days before noa1 is sent.

We are probably going to be re-directed to the Vermont centre.

Let us know how things go with you application so we can see the differences in processing times of the 2 centres as I have heard Vermont centre takes forever to process you probably get through quicker than us .

If you get noa1 pls post the date and I will do the same.
