I can now track my case online!! YES! I used the receipt number on the notice but I also tried tracking the number that was stamped on my check and it didn't work. I will be mailing my I-129F today! Hope I can get my NOA1 within this month.

I've gone in everyday since I got my number(s) and it still hasn't showed up on the system yet. I'm surprise that yours got in so fast. Way cool!

I was actually surprised!! I was getting ready to wait a couple of weeks before being able to track it online. I hope this is a sign of good things to come. USCIS should be receiving my I-129F today so I'm hoping I'll receive the NOA1 in the next 2 weeks.

Got my NOA1 today (vermont)

cant track it online yet...

Here is my story. I've lived problem free life, payed my taxes. One day I decided to marry this girl. But to do so would require her to come to US of A, and so it started. My problem free live turned in to free problems from USCIS! Sure things turned to unsure, certain dates turned to aproximation within months. All logical thinking was out the door, as I filed my papers withing famous Vermont Centre!

sent our i-130 on 12-17-07 and we still have yet to receive our NOA1 ... i called and they told me we were not in the system yet and to please wait 90 days... before we could file a "formal" complaint.

I also asked why there web site says they are almost up to date when they have not even finished all of December... but there was no answer. grrrr....

I think USCIS has far surpassed the DMV as the slowest branch of the government ever... lol

QUESTION: do you really think the I-129F aka K3 is faster than just going by the I-130? I have heard several times that the K-3 route is not that fast and since they have the 130 in their hands before the K3 docs, they are going to process the ones they get first?

Does anyone have actual experience in this?

Dec. 30 2007 <- Sent I-130 (along with G325A)

Dec. 31 2007 <- Received registered mailed e-signature

Feb. 02 2008 <- Check Cashed

Feb. 13 2008 <- NOA 1 received

Nov. 18 2008 <- NOA 2 received

Dec 14, 2008 <- AOS fee paid

Dec 21, 2008 <- DS-3032 received by NVC

Dec 21, 2008 <- I-864 sent into NVC

Dec 26, 2008 <- Paid IV Fee bill online

Dec 29, 2008 <- Confirmed that NVC has received DS-230 & i-864

Jan 12, 2009 <- NVC case complete and interview date for wife is on 2/2/09
