noa-1

[louiep 7]

hello my fellow vjrs question just received our noa-1's for my wife n step daughters notice date of all three is july12 what im curious about,n ive been through this before is,usually the noa-1 will just state that they have receive our petitions and have accepted them,but on here on all three it says the i-130 petition for alien relitive has been recieved by our office for the following beneficiaries and is in process: my question is does this mean that they already have started to process our petitions already? because my understanding of it was that at first they would accept it,and it would just sit there until someone started to actually start processing it!!!also usually when u check on the uscis website for status at first it will just say accepted n recieved but ours jumped as even stated in our noa-1 hardcopys that all three are in process already,my question again is does this really mean that vermont where are petitions are,that they already started to process them? thk you everyone for any indept info into this.

Acceptance

During the acceptance step USCIS reviews newly received applications and petitions to ensure that they are properly filed (i.e. signed by the applicant, appropriate fees, etc.) USCIS issues a receipt number for the application or petition, and sends a receipt notice to the applicant or petitioner.

Applications and petitions that are not properly filed are rejected with an explanation of why the application is rejected and the corrective action needed. Rejected applications or petitions do not retain their filing date.

The acceptance step is typically completed within 2 business days of when the application is received. With mail time it may take several weeks for you to get the receipt or rejection notice in the mail. If you do not receive your notice within 30 days of mailing your application, please contact our national customer service center at 1-800-375-5283.

yes thk for your reply i do understand all of that,but what im asking is the noa-1 hard copies say they are now processing our petitions!!!!!!! ive checked the uscis website ever since i recieved the texts first with our eac numbers,the texts themselfs said they received our petitions n gave us eac numbers for all three petitions from the first time i checked the uscis website even until now it says for all three that its in the initial decision stage,that along with the hard copys saying that all three are now being processed! what question is again is this,does that mean by that information,that they are actually already processing our petitions???are we that lucky??? usually they just notify u first that they have accepted your petition n then usually u wait for weeks before they start to process it,so thats why im asking are we lucky in the fact that they have already begun the process stage???? thks louie
