I wonder what happened to the other updates reagrding USCIS Service Centers!?????
They arent in the webpage

Aye Milton posted that in another thread just vanished into thin air like some people's applications - sighs -

It seems obvious where the rest of the updates went to. The only thing that is really behind (and worthy of updates) is the I-130's at the chicago lock box. If you remember, all the other updates for the service centers stated that all forms were current. Not much to update there, so no reason to make the receipting and update page filled with useless info! People, use your pumpkins.

I am still waiting for my NOA1 recieved in texas center september 27th

I am still waiting on mine too. Application recieved by NSC on October 22nd.

Woo hoo. I got my NOA1 and all I want to say is Thank God.

Good luck to all of us and God Bless

Just got my NOA1... Yippee!!

Ok I got the NOA1, check cashed and I'm in the online system!!

Yeah you go girl.....

Ok James lol here we go.....so if they are not posting updates for the other service centers (and you knew this was coming your way lol) and you say they are current, umm,,, coughs.........and ponders.....so the NOA1's that are pending for July and August and so forth and so on have been done? Lol, you know i could not resist this one.

Cheers and the debate begins......

Susie


p.s God i luv debates with you.....this one should be good!! cheers

lol...actually didn't expect to be called on this one....hehehe...let me go do a little more homework Give me a little time.

James

ok but ya know im sorta wondering just a bit, it is like they just disappeared into thin space....they are probably trying to figure out where they are in reality with applications and want to post something close to the truth for once....????? Ok thats not a viable option, will wait for your reply....

I RECEIVED THE NOA 1-797C- THANK YOU JESUS
PECKY

CONGRATS!!!!!!! I AM SURE IT WAS A LONG TIME COMING!!!!!!

it seems many october filers finally received their NOA 1!! congrats.. this is a big relief....

mine was sent to texas, then went to CA, then off to chicago and my receipt came from Vermont.. anyways, mine was sent oct 12. USCIS received it OCT 16 07, and my notice date is JAN 11. check was cashed on JAN 15, got the NOA1 in the mail JAN 16.... I did apply for K3... I guess my best bet is which ever comes first.. we will go on that.. CR1 or K3... God knows..

what happens, if they reject K3 and stick you with the immigrant visa.. I don't understand the steps for a immigrant visa (for my husband) .. I understand how K3 works completely.. but not the i-130 deal.. can anyone break it down for me? thank you I am new to all this..
any help is appreciated!!

God Bless

CR-1 is not much different that K-3; with K-3 you mainly deal with USCSI and a week or to in NVC(national visa center) and off the Indian Embassy; once you hus/wife comes here then you file an AOS9Adjustment of status) and go through NVC to get a green card and SS#,

Basically with K-3 your hu/wife can’t work right-away when they arrive U.S. have to file for an AOS .. that AOS application is taking longer to process now a days.

With CR-1 your hus/wife get green card within days of arrival in the mail. the passport with act as a green card until the original one arrives.

With the recent delay I don’t know how different k-3 and CR-1 is …

According to the recent press release 1-485 (the form for AOS) is on the backburner

Hi Evgeniya - in your timeline you say you were asked for additional paperwork quite quickly after you filed - was there something in particular missing? - at least you know they got your form in the first place if they noticed something missing. Perhaps that slowed it down for some reason when they got sent on to the Chicago place - you might have been bumped back to a later box in whatever system they use and so your NOA1 is a little later than other Oct filers? Just speculating about that of course - still not sure how they work the receipting system when we have people from Aug and Sept still without NOA1s but some people from Oct have them.

I am new to this forum. I sent my i-130 to the vermont service center which they received on october 22, 2007. I have not received an NOA1 as of yet. My check has not been cashed yet either. I am getting like so frustrated. Can anyone let me know if they received an NOA who sent their i-130 to the vermont service center around the same time i did. I would like to know if its only me. Thanks.

Hi Isma. They asked for more letters from our friends to prove bonefide marriage. We sent them on Oct. 15th and they got it on Oct. 22nd. You might be right it could slow down the process. I just worry nevertheless. And thank you for the good point, since they have asked for more letters it means they did recieve our petition. Good luck to everybody who filed in August, September, October and November (LUCKY US!!!!!)

That's really interesting that they asked you immediately for letters to prove bonefide marriage - there's been lots of speculation on these boards what people should send when they live in separate countries to prove their marriage. Had you sent anything else in the original application apart from your marriage cert? Photos, etc. Did they ask for a specific number of letters?

We sent 3 letters from friends/family, some wedding photos and proof of flights to see each other over the last three years. But we were just guessing really what they might want.

With our petition we didn't send any letters at first or pics. When they asked for letters from our friends vouching for our marriage, my husband sent I think 10 of them and information about our joint bank account in the US and wedding pics. I think that is all. They didn't signify a number of letters.

hey mabe their is more to come ...MORE MIRACLES .... lets pray ....

Hi Friends,
Does any one know about the criteria of checking files?
I sent mine on 22nd September and still receipt less.

E-

They asked for all that on the first go around........but u had your marrige certificate in there yes? Strange, but not a NOA1 just for scanning purposes??? hmm...... did you call to see if there was one issued or is your check/money order not cashed - this one is a thump in the head for sure///// It sounds like an RFE but yet I was under the impression that a basic scan was done with the first go around, i.e., meaning everything signed, check in correct amount and all areas filled in correctly...

Confused shakes sleep from head and wonders on this.

HI All,


This is a very nice effort by some one who created this thread,by this we can check out similar cases, now coming to point my wife sent i-130 petition on nov 7th and they received on nov 9th( as per usps tracking number).

As per the USCIS Application and Receipting Update of chicago lock box, the date we should get the receipt is passed,my wife called them on 1-800-375-5283 but there is no person respnding only automatic voice recorder is playing around.

can anybody help what i should do now.

Thanks in Advance.

Actually i called also today and the told me i have to wait until february 18th , they received my app on the 17th November, So i think you will have to wait until February 10th for the 90 deadline is established!

Hi,
not much criteria to checking files,except to call them,and after you get off the phone,your question still is unanswered.....except to...."and everybody say with me" WAIT !!!!!!
yes,i am waiting,and freakin' out,i sent mine september 27th to texas.still no check cashed,or NOA1.

recd our NOA1 today -- late Oct filer -- Vermont

Hey guys! Our check was cleared today, which means we are going to get our NOA1 in a mail soon. We originally sent our petition on October 1st but had to send more papers on October 15th and NSC got it on October 22nd. So I guess we are late October filer. Which also means that early November filers will catch up next week or so. So Roza, jus a little more wait for you. Zorro, I don't know what to say.... sigh

SusieK, yes of course we sent our marriage sertificate, we married in the US two years ago so that should've been very straight forward. Most important thing is we are not lost in USCIS cyber space.

Yay Evgeniya! Glad to gear you are still in the October camp even if a little later than before. Roll on those NOA2s

I've no evidence they cashed the check, suprisingly enough. I check for it every day.

Hiya
heyjimi, how are you doing? I think Asians have their turn at the end.LOLOLOLOLOL
Only vermont is doing well while CSC and Texas are moving like the tortoise.
The thing we can do is only wait. Wait and see.

Finally we got our NOA1 too!!
(sent on july 27-28 (as i remember), they had lost that petition, then sent the second one (copy) on the october 27)
They cashed our check today and today also we got the NOA1 by the post!

*sighs* I'm still without any word, and I sent mine sept 4th, coure, I didn't think of a tracking number, so the only proof that I sent it then is now the petitio itself. I'm just assuming its lost, so I sent in another one.... so now I guess I'll follow the early january group. If they some how "find" mine then great!!! but I'm not going to try waiting another month or so only to find its hopless. I suggest to those of you who are waaay behind, to maybe try sending in yours again, just to be safe. *shrugs* the worst that can happen is you are getting in line now, rather than later, best case senario they will find our misplaced petitons today!!!! *sighs*

yeah....i hear you !!!!
hopefully soon we will hear something.

yeah,i think about doing this everyday,just sending in a new one.Thats the frustrating part,not knowing if it got lost or not,and lets face it,USCIS has not proven to me that they got their act together.I worry very much mine also got lost.
