I just got proof from my auto insurance that my husband has been added. Funny since he is in India, but if he drove in the USA he would be covered. I wish I had it earlier to add to the file. Maybe I can sneak in a copy at the NVC stage!

BUT THE BEST MAIL TODAY!!! NOA1 BABY!!! Do I go by the notice date? or Received date?

NOA2, HERE WE COME

woo hooooo! i went by the notice date on mine, then i got a touch on the received date... hmm.

hello everyone else by the way!!! WELCOME to june filers madness!!

hope you all have a great weekend!



good luck!!!!!!!

June is where the party is, come one come all

Wooot!!!

Yeah we don't mind a couple of strays in here too hehe

What is everyone up to this weekend? It's freezing here in Melbourne!

My hubby is here with me for two more weeks so we might celebrate July 4th together, but apart from that I'm stocking up on cuddles before he leaves!

I am finally getting started my check was cashed july 2, now waiting for noa 1

yaay! Good news!

Nice I see your wedding was 11 days after mine, did you have it in Tunisa or the US?

heyyyy.... hope and pray that our NOA2 WILL KNOCK in our door this month of july....

Epey, that would be fabulous! Here's to wishful thinking I have seen I-130's approved in 22 days or less, not that it is the norm, but anything is possible



With Vermont re-validating returned K1 petitions, I was worried that California would do the same thing. Since we are now married, I needed to hurry and get the I-130 out to reference our returned K1, since marriage now nullifies a fiance visa.

Our journey was filled with twists and turns along the way, believe me. It was paved with many tears. But I am so glad I had this journey with my husband as my "traveling" companion. It has been a rough road, but I can see the sunshine breaking through the clouds

My fellow visa sojourners have been very helpful, and supportive, which is why I love forums like these. We can encourage each other and guide anyone who needs help Good luck to everyone!!

Another June Filer!

NOA1: June 12
NOA2: Hopefully soon :-)

Good Luck to all

Welcome! Good luck on your journey!!!

I got the photocopy of the NOA1 that my hubby sent today. Something kinda stroke me. We are in NJ so we depend on VSC, and the adress at the bottom of the NOA1 document says :
U.SS Citizenship and Immigration Services
USCIS California Service Center
P.O. Box 30111
Laguna Niguel, CA 92607-01111

Sooooooooooo it looks like we have been forwarded to CSC instead of VSC .
I hope this is good news. Btw, shall I understand that Laguna Niguel is the field office ?

Oh yeah, one more thing. Have anyone been able to check your case online yet ? Cuz I cant.

it sounds like your case is coming from california. have your husband check the envelope to verify which office is on the return address. i was able to check status immediately, and add it to my portfolio. keep trying, you should be able to get in eventually. remember no dashes. good luck to you, and welcome aboard the June filers

YES that happened to me too, and we are supposed to be VSC also.

if you login online in the USCIS website, you can see where it is too, just to double check.

i hope also that this is good news!

Yes, same adress on the return enveloppe, so looks like we have been forwarded to CSC cuz VSC cant keep up or sth like that.

We still cant check our case online though our notice is from June 24th, that should be added by now so this is strange. Or do we need to create an account on the website so that it works ? If so, should we go for Customer or Representative ? And what is the use of the portfolio actually ?
Sorry these are a lot of questions but I am kinda lost with what to do with this.

Thanks for help.

ooh i could check mine straight away with my "WAC" number... hmm.

If you create an account, you would be the customer. I think the representative is for someone else who filed on your behalf, like an attorney. the portfolio helps you if you have more than one case, or if you just want a quick reference to your case you have already filed without typing it every time. You can also sign up to receive email updates on your case status without having to constantly go to the uscis website. i don't think you get updated for "touches" but if your case was approved or if they are mailing you something. I am pretty much a fanatic about checking things online, so although my email address is listed on our account, i still check our case status religiously (just in case they forgot to email me )

how do we know it has been touched if there is no update? hmmm.... i wonder!

some people say "touched" a million times in their timelines! well not a million, but you get the drift hehe

I think what was meant, was that you won't get an email for touch updates (if you have it set to send-email-on-updates). Touch updates will still show up on the website. That is my understanding.

Oh ok that makes sense now thanks!!!

I check the website several times a day as well...though I know it's only been less than a month after we got our NOA1...

Anyway, best wishes to every one!

Haha that is SO me!!!! I keep looking at the login page where it says they're "watching" each login wondering if they think I'm nuts!!!!

hi everyone! we sent ours on june 25, it was received june 26 and our check was cashed yesterday, july 3. we're still waiting for our NOA1..

exactly what i meant

Welcome aboard, osen!

So if I want to receive email updates on my case I should register as a customer or is it something different again ?
I still cant sign in so if Monday we still cant my hubby is gonna call, this is kinda strage i think.

Thanks

hmm now i'm thinking that the approval estimate is not accurate. now mine says january 2010. that's like a year and a half from now. anyways, let's just wait.

I hope the process these days might take a lil' shorter than the past..like 6 months max..I wish..I hope..I hate to be alone..and I'm done..I miss my hubby and wanna be with him and have moments with him..lol

Jan 2010 is only 6 months away and sounds like an accurate estimate.. it'll go faster than you think!

Where exactly is the estimate? Is it on my timeline page? Mine said something like there aren't enough records in my area to estimate???!!

Weird!

Anyway, I know that 2010 seems like ages away but we have a lifetime of love awaiting us once we arrive

Hello she,
This is Aline glad you decide to apply for the CR1.
I hope and pray that you will have your Noa2 in an earlier time too.
God Bless us Always.

oh yeah, sorry about the "year and half from now" part. i'm saying it's inaccurate because last week, the estimate said november 2009. after a couple of days, it became dec 2009. and now it's jan 2010. it kept on changing. hehehe

but you're right, jan2010 seems to be normal. hopefully we all get approved before 2010. hehehehe

guys, can someone tell me WHERE the estimate shows up? i cant find mine!

okay found it..

turns out i had TEXAS in my timeline for some silly reason.

now with California it shows this...

Based on timeline data, your I130 may be adjudicated between February 6, 2010 and March 3, 2011*.

noooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo!

Goodluck everyone june09 filers. We are still waiting for the NOA2 and seems like our papers haven't touched even once.

I am hoping for a faster and smooth process for everyone.

Hi all. June 24 receipt date. Like a couple of others here, VSC is the service center for my state but the NOA1 came from the CSC. They must be transferring several there. I still can not see the case status online. I have tried to view it and to sign up for email alerts, but I get an error that the case can not be found. I also tried checking the case status through the phone line and got the same error. I got through to somebody at USCIS on Thursday and they said that they had been having a system glitch and several people were getting that error. I hope this "glitch" does not cause any problems down the road later.

My NOA1 is also from June 24th and I am having the exact same problem. I was wondering if I was the only one, guess not. I hope this will be fixed asap so we all can get news on our cases.

thats weird huh?

i got my noa1 on the 29th and i can see mine online. i also should have been VSC but went to CSC

hmmm, hoping you have good news soon guys!

xox

My check still hasn't been cashed. I'm getting really upset over this. My package was received june 27th. So i figured it would have been cashed by now.

ok I got the NOA1 today!!! Dated July 2nd! Funny thing is my check has not been cashed yet. But very excited to have NOA1 in my hands!!

NOA1 received today! Filed June 30. Weeeeeeee.


"Based on timeline data, your I130 may be adjudicated between March 4, 2010 and May 10, 2010*."

Thankfully, we already live together. Just such a long time go home, though.

Congrats on the NOA1s

Can I hang out with you guys too? We are are on the K-3 route, but may try to go back to the CR-1/IR-1 route depending on how the timing works out. There aren't too many K-3'rs around anyway... Good luck to everybody!

hey guys! asked my husband to check if they cash out the check and he said not yet!hmmmmm...its quiet a long wait already...we sent packet june 29! hope we can receive NOA1 first before check cashed out like others here

hey! of course you can! i was doing the same as you before i realised the CR-1 was better for us so i can work when i arrive! plenty of friendly faces here, so hang out with us!



my NOA1 came on the 29th but my cheque still isnt cleared, but i am not worried, i think it is just dependant on when they get around to it hehe. good luck with receiving yours!

Bump!

Just seeing who's alive in June filer world...

I'm starting to get sad koz my USC hubby is leaving me here in Australia on the 18th July...

Hoping we don't wait too long for NOA2 like everyone else here I'm sure!

I am here. A bundle of nerves, but I am here. I applied for an internal job posting on Friday when I was working overtime (it was our holiday off for July 4). Got a call yesterday from the recruiter that she wants to interview me today. I am a telecommuter, so it is on the phone, and she is Lord knows where in the USA. I would rather the interview be in person so I could smile my way through

I am here. I check the uscis website a few times a day LOL. I just want to make sure everything is good to go. I am trying to concentrate on DS-230 and all of the things i need to gather for that and for the I-864.

I am trying to force myself to not check USCIS so often, it is not working, hehehe. Already checked twice
