thanks all...

The NOA1 can take up to a month to arrive and if you fill in your timeline now then VisaJourney will give you a pretty accurate estimate of your NOA2 date.

This is a good thread to read about everything you need to know about the K-1 process.

when will y receive my first NOA1?i haven't receive anything from them.

I think the rate change caused a flood of paperwork for USCIS. How did you pay for the petition, did you use a check and if so has the check cleared the bank. Some times you can find the receipt number on the back of the check.

Mine got there a week before yours. My check has yet to be cashed. I've been watching it like a hawk since they received it on the 13th.

i paid with a check also.i also have been waiting if the check has been cashed.but it has not.they recieved it on the 20th.
im already worried,i know its has only been 3weeks.
im already planning where we will go on our honey moon.i hope she'll get here before our anniversary,july.

Expect for more delays with the processing right now because of the huge volume of applicants who rushed in their applications before the July 30 fee increase. For our AOS case, it took almost a month before our checks were cashed as well as receiving our notice of action. Before the increase, NOA1 is usually given 1-3 weeks after they received the application but I doubt if it is still applicable to the present. Guess, it is too early for you to be worried about it.

Take a look at the Immigration Timelines at the top of the page, the stats may give you some idea of what to expect.

hey whats going on?im starting getting worried about this?i havent heard or received anything from USCIS.i hope that everything is ok...

I sent mine on June 21st and still no hardcopy yet. Just hang in there. Patience is key

26 days - no NOA1 - no Check Cashed

Try to relax. Many people have tried to help you. Please take a moment and read the whole thread....

I'm having the same problem on my I-485 filed August 19th 2007. On my I-129, I got my NOA1 in 10 days. But for my I-485, I've been waiting almost 3 weeks, no check cashed and no letter received. Then I come onto this forum and see lots of posts about a sudden spike in NOA1 delays. I hope that's the explanation, because I'd hate to file a 2nd time or worse have our K1 expire.

I'm checking my bank account each day to see if they've cashed my check, but no luck so far. Until I came to this forum I was convinced they simply lost my mail.

I mailed my I-130 on August 8 to TSC and have not received anything either. My check has not been cashed. I cry everyday, I check my bank account 3-5 times a day, but it doesn't help. It is an on-going frustrating situation.

32 days for me now. I really hope I the check is cashed soon - with out a case # I just feel like noone even knows about my petition.

Hi Jonandmary and other August filers,

Same here, it has been almost one month since we have sent the package (to CSC) but no NOA1 and it hasn't been cashed yet.
Our timelines are similar. Let's keep our fingers crossed...

I forgot to mention this but today, my fiancee made a phone call to CSC to ask them for the status of our package then she said she cannot tell.
But she gave him an advice "just wait 90more days... (!)" I hope we are patient enough to wait just for NOA1 for 90 more days!!
What all think about this? Should we just wait 90 more days as she advised? If we do, it will be 4months total for receiving NOA1.

I wrote my congress rep. Just to ask them to check with the CSC to see if this will be a pattern for my petition or if this is just a one time snag.

They have been talking with the CSC to find it in the mail room. I gave them my USPS tracking #. I should hear back today or tomorrow. Even if they cant find it I still might wait a week or two before re-filing JUST in case it does show up somewhere.

This is so frustrating because until we get a NOA1 we have nothing to really reference with the CSC.

Me too. We filed my husband's I-485 which arrived on Aug 15 to the Chicago processing center. No NOA1, no check cashed. Same thing - My I-129F prompted a NOA1 in like 2 weeks. I know there is a huge backlog, but I am confused because the USCIS website says they have COMPLETED processing on apps received up through Aug 15 as of Sep 7. As anyone who filed an I-485 after Sep 10 received an NOA1 or had their checks cashed?

I guess its no surprise that the answer I am getting is to re-file. They said they can't find it in the mailroom. And it has me somewhat concerned but hopeful that its hiding on someones desk and will just pop into the system any day.

I'm in the same situation as you are. I figure there must be a box somewhere with our petitions in. One positive thing is that they will queue us according to the received date when (if) they do find the applications.

We also filed our I-130 on August 14; it was received by Vermont on August 15; we still have not received the NOA1. The USCIS is ONLY working on applications received on or before July 29, 2007 at the present time.

Please refer to the uscis.gov website to get the latest information on the receipt processing dates. Hopefully some August filers will begin to see their receipt notices (NOA1) this week because as you will see from Vermont's timeline, it says 7/29; however, this is the date of the oldest I-130 they are processing.

Please follow this website so that you will be relaxed and not freaking out. I know it is hard to wait because we also check our bank accounts each day and nothing. However, PLEASE DO NOT refile as your applications are there. Just wait a little bit longer.
