I posted a few weeks ago about how it had been over a month since I sent my I129F packet and received no word from USCIS or anything. After I posted I assumed like everyone else that the Dallas lockbox was just taking forever, but a week later impatience got the best of me and I called them.

I found out through speaking to a human (it was surprisingly easier to get a hold of one than I was expecting) that I had messed up the dates on the actual I129F form. I accidentally transposed two numbers in my address; I had put 6136 instead of 6316. I was absolutely raging with myself because I had quadruple checked it as well as passed it around for others to check, double check, and even quadruple check it yet it was still missed (Something about the first number and last number being correct so you assume it's correct maybe?).

I told the USCIS person my correct address and they said that they would pass it along and it would be updated. The person then told me that all was well and gave me my case number and I have checked online since then where I am listed as in INITIAL REVIEW (of course there is a notification from Jan. 6 about my stuff being listed as undeliverable).

So knowing this I have two questions:

Is there anything more I am supposed to send to USCIS to rectify my mistake?

If not, it has been over a week since I spoke with them so when should I expect to see an update on my case status, if at all?

Any help would be greatly appreciated and I apologize if this is kind of confusing.

It will take them 30 - 60 days to make the change and notify you.

I had something similar happen and after I made an e-request, they fixed it in 30+ days.

You've already informed them and they said they would change it, so no need to worry anymore on that front. Now that you're in initial review, that means your case is progressing. It may take several months for the NOA-2, meaning your petition was approved and it's forwarded to the embassy, or they may contact you sooner with an RFE if there's another issue they need to address.

Excellent!

Do you think I will actually ever receive a hard copy of the NOA1? I remember reading somewhere that they sometimes don't get it to you even though their records will show that it did. It isn't that important, just wondering.

Thank you so much for responding though. It's definitely a weight off my chest. Now for the waiting game!

Maybe, but I'd be surprised. You said there was a notice about some stuff being undeliverable, which means they already tried to send you the NOA-1. Since you already have your case number, which is all you really need the NOA-1 for, I doubt they'll mail it again.

If your case goes to the NVC and you don't receive an NOA-2, then you need to call again and follow up on that. You need the NOA-2 for the adjustment of status once you're married, but that's a ways down the road.
