Wow... just... wow. I was JUST bitching today about how I sent my I-129F packet out two weeks ago yesterday and that I was wanting my NOA1, and I told my Réjean to hold on while I check my mail, and 'lo and behold, there it is.

Thanks, everyone!

I signed up at the USCIS website for status updates, and it's telling me that the last update was 09/07/06. The NOA1 letter said that the notice date was 09/05/06, and I received the letter today on 09/09/06. Does this 09/07/06 date mean that I've been "touched"?

Mine came today too :)

Congrats to you and the OP both! :D

I did the same thing the day mine came-- I was certain it didn't come as I was expecting my entire packet to be returned like heishe's was, and I saw the mailman walk by with all small mail, but told my fiance to hold on (talking online) while I got the mail, and came back screaming and jumping around like a nutter. :P
