No NOA1 after one month plus

[paothao 0]

My brother-in-law send his I-129F package to USCIS in Vermont with overnight express in February 27, 2009 and has not receive NOA1 from this office, however, he received the US postal return receipt that this office got his I-129f package.

Does anyone has this problem, or waiting this long to get the 1st or initial NOA1? I would appreciate any guideline how to contact them, since we do have a receipt number to track it down either.

thank you.

I tried to call USCIS to check the receipt of mine; they said that I need to wait 30 from their received date. I cannot say if that is a problem, but you may want to call and say that it has been over their 30 day response time and ask if theuy can help. 30 business days remember, never believe any governmental agency if they say calendar days. We had Good Friday, too. I would try to call; they worse that the can say is to wait but maybe you will get someone who really takes their job seriously. It has been roughly 40 days. My guess is that it takes a couple days before it is placed on anyone's desk. Did you check that the address was correct and complete?

Yes, the address is corrected and the postal return receipt was signed by one of the USCIS officer in Vermont...

In my case, it took 5 days to get the first NOA1 from USCIS ... Don't know why this one took about 2 months (1 month and 3 weeks).

Thank you.

You may never get an actual hard copy NOA1 document. You should search on this site for related information. This is a fairly regular post that appears. I never received one myself. USCIS insists that they sent one months ago, but I never received it. I have, however, received other documents from them in the mail, so the whole thing is odd. They also have a "policy" of not resending the letter, so if you're in the same boat, you'll never get an NOA1. You should however check your online bank transactions, look for the image of the check you sent and locate the number on the back that probably begins with "EAC..." That's your case number, which you can enter into the USCIS website to check your case status.

Was your check cashed?

That's the most reliable way to know if they have received it and logged it into the system.

If the check was cashed - usually your case number is on the back side of the check. Check your bank records.

I say "usually" because while that is true for most, we did not have our case number on the reverse of the check.

Once you have your case number you can track your status online as well as by calling them.

You may receive the NOA1 in the mail at a later date, or perhaps not at all. Don't worry about it, it's not that important.

Check the Guides - much of this information is covered.

Good luck.

hi, i would advise cancel the check and send the petition again, there is a great chance they havent recieved it, no point in wasting time. also check all the paper work to make sure it was sent to the right place. this is my personal advise, you have to make the ultimate decision so good luck in the process.
