Where is my 1st NOA? :(

[Peil 1]

Sent the i-129f on aug 3, 2006...they received it on aug. 5. As of aug 15, check still was not cashed and no NOA in mail. How do i find out what is going on?

If your check was cashed you know they have your application, so don't worry.

It takes about 2 weeks for NOA1 to arrive. You still have a couple days to wait.

my guess...and it could be wrong..but perhaps it is being transfered?

I wouldn't worry yet!

I would call them. This happened to us. I called them - on hold for 45 minutes - to discover they had our address as 6250 Etc Street, when it is 6520 Etc Street.

They had then put our case on hold. As when they sent the NOI it was returned as not known at that address.

I sent it to the CSC so its probably not being transfered.

well pardon.

Either way I wouldn't worry yet! They have slowed down again there. That is where my forms are as well and at first they seemed to be right up to speed and now it is slow going.

NOA1s are taking upwards of 15-20 days to recieve, especially for transfers. Just hang in there. If it gets past 30 days and still not NOA1 or a checked cashed, then I'd start making some calls.

yep i agree, im personally planning on anything upto and around a month for the NOA1. Im guessing, but they are trying to clear all the IMBRA before putting newer ones into the system so we are getting a delay. could be totally wrong mind

still, dont panic for a bit, many are waiting 3+ weeks for theirs but it turns up in the end

Be aware that if they have input your address incorrectly into their system that it is still your fault.

They will then not do anything with it until you get in touch and give them the correct address.

They will also not resend the NOA unless you write to them requesting it. Thererfor if you find they have taken the address down incorrectly when you speak to them, also ask them what the date on the NOA is.

You can then start working out roughly how long this process is going to take from that date as they won't resend it to you.

What number our you guys referring to?

NSC received my petition on July 31, 2006, and I have yet to receive my NOA1. While I am not expecting miracles (at least not anymore!), in the advent that I do not receive any word, I was hoping that you guys might direct me to the office/dept that I could call to inquire about any progress/developments with my petition.

MANY thanks! K

It truly is a hit or a miss these days. I sent our I-129f to NSC they received on July 24, 2006. I have the NOA1 stating it was received at CSC with a date of July 26, 2006.

I didn't get the paper NOA1 till Aug 5th but I found out all this information by waiting for the check to cash and immeadiatly getting the case number off the cashed check from my bank. I then created a USCIS.GOV account, added my case number, and found out this information online on Aug 3, 2006

Be patient, keep watching for that check to clear. If you start to think some mistake was done, then call the CSC but that may be very difficult.
