I-129F mailed - now what? Email?

[WillyKid 0]

Hi there ... I'm new to the forum and just filed my I-129F with the VT Service Center! I'm very excited! Anyway, I wanted to know how status updates are sent to me. Are all update communications from the VT Service Center emailed to me? Or, do I have to keep a watchful eye on the USPS snail mail every day? Please let me know how the general process works once submissions are in. Thanks!

Kind regards,

WillyKid

Very little communication is done via e-mail unless you register. Your NOA1, NOA2 or any RFE will come via snail mail. Once you recieve your NOA1 it will provide you your case number EACxxxxxxx. You then can sign up for e-mail notificaion. With th speed in which VSC is processing cases, you may be approved before you get the snail mail case number.

You'll get an NOA(Notice of Action) in the mail. There will be a case id on there. From that point you can go to www.uscis.gov and create an account with that case number. You'll receive emails saying things are being mailed to you. And then a few days later things will show up in the mail. If your case was 'touched'or updated it means they did something with it. It doesn't always mean they're looking it over, but went from pile A to pile B. Vermont moves at a good pace though. So you could be approved pretty quickly.

I will point out Captain Ewok's Pinned post at the top of the K-1 forum, it gives you great explanations about "touches" and how to set up email notifications.
