Hello! I mailed my I-129 via USPS express mail. The following Monday the papers were at the Dallas lockbox and the very next day I received a text and an email stating the California Service Center received it and two days after that I received the I-797C (NOA1) in the mail. So in total it was seven days (two of them being a weekend). Check my timeline. Good luck!

How long after the texas lockbox receive your documents do you get a email/text or any notification that everything is good to go to NVC? I did fill out the form for notification.

Not sure of you are mixing up NOA1 and NoA2

NOA1 you indeed receive few days after you send you petition, maybe 2 weeks later max.

NOA2, which will say that it is approved and forwarded to the NVC and good to go can take anywhere from 15 days (extremely quick) to over 5 months.. There is no timeline to really hold on to here..

Good luck in the process!

Sent mine 3/3, they received it via FedEx on 3/5. Check was deposited by them on 3/10, so far no email/text/anything about NOA1 (I did fill out that form). So definitely YMMV, hopefully I'll get it soon.
