My 1-129 (K-1) was received may 18, I was thinking I would have got my second notice now.
How long should I wait?

I thought Texas was transferring the K-1s to CSC Have you taken a look at the Immigration Timelines at the top of the page to see if others have filed to Texas at the same time as you?

With some sarcasm, anyone here (even the VJ timeline or an USCIS employee) can only answer you: "more, obviously..."

Welcome into the boat, grab an oar and start rowing...

Day 119, and counting...

What do you MEAN by received, received date as signed for, or received date on NOA-1 ?

I sent in my initial package and they received it (check cashed) may 18, I finally got a noa1 just a few weeks ago but I gather they are sometimes behind sending the actual letter out.

I had expected to get my noa 2 by now.


When I log-on to my case at the website it shows only that it was initially received while many people report here all these "touches", mine has nothing.

According to the Immigration Timelines at the top of the page there is an average 89 day wait between the NOA1 and the NOA2. Good luck

And I am at 120 days.

You are definitely way above the average. Not sure what to recommend, I don't know much about the TSC, do they have a hotline?

Not being a smartass (just realized the 7word rule is automatically enforced) this time, but our timelines are very similar (my NOA1 date is May 29) and I have not had any touches since June 1st. We are indeed in the same boat like many others. Hopefully not for long... Our turn is basically coming, since they are not processing the files in the order received but rather by "batches of similar receipt periods". Looking at the latest approvals, their NOA1 dates were within 20 days in May, some early some late. So our turn is coming...

Stephan (day 118... or so)

I just tried to call but of course I was told "call back when your case is 30 days outside of the posted time line" (that would be 7 months after they cashed my check)
When I look at my case via the web it simply gives the date it was received and nothing else, no touches or anything, I hope it is not misplaced *yiks*

If I had been one of those who paid the higher fee (after the fee raise) I would be pissed because the increase was supposed to bring BETTER service.

ONly the govtment charges you more NOW for a service.... which you might get later.
Trying to think of a model in the business world that works that way?

The received date on the NOA-1 is your start date, not the date your check cleared, ok

I am not sure if you are correct on this.
Some people never got a NOA-1 , mine did not come for over two months.
The date on the website when I log-in lists the day they cash my check, 5/17 the date of my letter was 08/08 on my letter is a place for a "priority date" which lists 05/14 which would be not the day they cashed the check but maybe the postal date when it arrived.


I hope you are not right!
