Comes by regular mail, regular size envelope. One page and it has a place for receipt number, that receipt number is actually your case number from now on:) NOA1 is fairly quick 5-7 days, sometimes 10 ( if it falls over the weekend), they just tell you that case number is assigned and they have your paperwork. Now, NOA2 is a much bigger deal and takes forever, so hang in there. Good Luck to you too!!!

Thanks,Amur! Does my husband(in the US)receives the NOA1 or me (in Romania)? Did we have to specify that?We also send a bank check for the $355 fee,in the I130 package along with the rest of the docs.that should be ok,right??

That should be correct. You can track you bank check to see when they deposit your money. From my experience, they do that first and than send you a receipt that all is well. Petitioner (U.S. Citizen) is the one who gets NOA1 and NOA2
