I don't know what to do with my extra 23 minutes per day. I used to use that time to check my bank account several times a day to see if USCIS had cashed my check and to keep tabs on I-130 receipting times.

Checking the USCIS site for changes to my case is rather dull and I don't expect anything for, I dont know.... lets say... 27 ice ages.

I guess I need a new hobby.

No problem, because you have only received your NOA1 the obsession with checking for updates hasn't really started yet, but it will, so you do have that to look forward to.

Trust me, there'll be other obsessions to replace your NOA1.
I could use some help in pestering our public servants regarding our security check/limbo. If you've got 23 minutes, I've got an exciting opportunity for you!

Been there, done that.. at least badgering the elected officials.

I received a call from my U.S. Senator's office about 1 week ago in response to an email I sent the Senator. The kindly assisstant was droning on about a bill that my senator was supporting in regards to immigration reform. Sadly, it was the bill that basically granted the long term illegals green cards.... not quite what I was emailing about, but whatever. Fortunately, the bill is stalled in the Senate and likely to be considered dead soon.
