My check for the I129f was cashed today. Does that mean I should receive the NOA1 soon? Are there cases where they cash the check and then don't accept the application? I know no one can't guarantee it will be approved, I just don't want them to send my packet back. Sorry, I'm so nervous. My little girl and I really need daddy here to help deal with these medical issues!

You are absolutely correct. Once they cash your check, they have accepted the application.

You are also correct that this doesn't mean approval or denial will happen, but it does mean it was accepted. The petitioner should expect the NOA1 to come in the mail (assuming the petitioner is in the US) in about 10 days (give or take a few)

Thanks guys! I feel better now. I figured I would receive the NOA1 within just a few days so I was getting a little alarmed. This has been emotionally draining since we had to wait 1.5 years just to get the court to produce a divorce decree that should have been done years ago. Whew....getting closer!

Good luck on visa journey :thumbs:

During our wait for that NOA2, we would start preparing for documents needed for her interview such as copy of tax return. Instead of sending bulky package of tax return, we sent Tax transcript instead. You can order yours at
