Sorry to hear that you have not received the NOA (Notice of Acceptance). Did your payment already clear the bank (if paid by check)? They would not send you NOA1 without collecting their money first. If they did and since you live in AZ or CA, your petition went to California Service Center. From there, the CSC will decide if your petition can be routed to the NBC (National Benefit Center). Most of us went through this process.Here is the USCIS National Customer Service Center telephone: 1-800-375-5283. I am not sure if it will help since you don't have the USCIS Receipt Number for the petition you just filed. When calling, ask to speak with the IO (Immigration Officer). Hope this help.

Please do not forget to update your signature...It does help everyone here.

Shiela,

It's great that you finally received your NOA1. What are the first three letters of your USCIS receipt number (on your NOA1)? These 3 letters determine the service center that has your petition (case).

If the USCIS receipt number starts with:

• LIN: Your petition is within Nebraska Service Center
• SRC: Your petition is within Texas Service Center
• EAC: Your petition is within Vermont Service Center
• WAC: Your petition is within California Service Center
• MSC: Your petition is routed to the NBC (National Benefits Center) and then to your local USCIS Office

Regardless which service center your petition is sent, the USCIS National Customer Service Center phone number (1-800-375-5283) is still the same. Since you now have the NOA1 (with the USCIS Receipt Number), you can call the USCIS Customer Service to obtain the status of your case.

Hope this helps!

Koekoe,

Great that you got your NOA1. You should be happy since the NBC transfered all the I-130 Stand alone to your local USCIS office for processing. It depends on the case, but the approval should be very quick and fast. In my case (IR-5), I could have been approved sometimes in February if I did receive the RFE that was mailed to me requesting bonafide relationship of father/son. Somehow they lost a copy of my birth certificate. I found out in March 28th when I received the NOID (Notice of Intent to Deny) letter from my USCIS local office. I made appointment and spoke with IO on April 2nd (gave her another copy of my birth certs with english translation). The next day (April 3rd), my petition was approved. So, the case being transfered to the USCIS local office is much quick to be approved or denied (depending on the situation).

Hope this helps!

Hi Sheila ..kabayan

Me too I file last Dec 2012.. Until now waiting for NOA2 and also were routed to NBC. I called USCIS a week ago I was told right now the processing will take 5-6 months

Am not losing for hope but sometimes you cant even help to think of it , " where's my papers" hopefully 2 weeks or so we will get some great news. anyway goodluck to you just keep updating.. I'll let you know too..

Still "case cannot be found" either online or by phone.

Probaby got tranferred to the local office. And I am moving in a couple of weeks. Been wondering when I should call them with change of address (I already have the new one) and how much transferring between local offices is going to delay the approval...

It's true that the Vermon Service Center is slow in processing. Since your petition is within the NBC, you should except a quick approval or anything in the mail from your local office.

You should contact the USCIS Customer Service as soon as you moved to the new place. In you are moving within the cities in your state, you need to check on the USCIS website for which local USCIS office will handle your file. I will advise you to make the appointment through the infopass to speak with the IO. He or she would be able to tell you where your file is and if you moved, which local USCIS office will handle your petition.

You should allow at least 2.5 months from the NOA1 receipt date before start calling the USCIS National Customer Service.

Are you able to see the case online status?
