July 19, 2017 I-129F sent To Dallas Lockbox by USPS mail service 

July 22, 2017 arrived at Dallas Lockbox (status: available for pickup)

July 24, 2017 Notification that it was delivered (to Dallas TX 75260)

July 26, 2017 Email- USCIS Acceptance Confirmation (presumably NAO1): 

 

Email states to wait 7-10 days to receive official Receipt Notice (Form I-797) which allows us to check our case status on the USCIS website.

 

YAY!

[JSCGPV 1,903]

Wow, that's great Megan and James!

 

I'm hoping we get our email notification today or tomorrow. Looks like you got yours only two days after it stated delivered, and today will be my third day.

 

I see your from Atlanta, I will be down there in September for work (training). I used to live in Marietta for a couple years. I love the Area.

 

Best wishes to all!

We just got our text/email notification that our case has been accepted and routed to CSC for processing.  So excited!  They received it per fedex on Tuesday at the lockbox. 

[JSCGPV 1,903]

Sweet!

 

We just got our text/email message notification that our case had been accepted and it will be routed to the California service center.

I was starting to get worried after seeing other people getting their E-mail notification in only two days.

 

So..........

 

07/21/2017 - Petition Mailed to Dallas, TX.

07/23/2017 - Petition arrived at Dallas Lockbox and ready for pick-up.

07/24/2017 - Petition delivered (picked-up) by Dallas service center.

07/27/2017 - Text/E-mail message stating petition approved and sent to California. (NOA1 presumably).

When we receive our NOA1 in the post do we have to sign up to the website straight away?

No. You do not have to sign up within a certain time frame. In fact, the website doesn't update reliably. I received my NOA2 this week via mail and mine has not updated (it still says "Your case was received on February 2"). A lot of the February filers have had the same experience I have had with the system....

Which website do you mean? The USCIS website?

[Coty & Katie 21]

Hey everyone! July filers here.

I'm just wondering are these wait times accurate? It's showing 120+ days for NOA1 to NOA2?!

07/28/2017 - Petition Mailed to Dallas, TX. (will be received on Monday)

Yes. The average right now is 120 to 140 days. However, there is no rhyme or reason....some people will get their NOA2 within 90 days....some it will take 120  (mine took 160+ but I am not the norm) If you complete the time line on VJ it will give you an estimate.....

Just be prepared to wait.

Just be prepared to wait.

It's a 99% approval rate at the USCIS level.....it will come....just be prepared for the ride.

Amazing thank you. I don't really want to sign up just yet because I'd probably check it every day lol

Also congratulations on receiving your NOA2.

July 17th, 2017 Mailed I-129f 

July 19th, 2017 Arrived at Dallas lockbox 

July 21st, 2017 Recieved text notification 

July 28th, 2017 Form I-797C Arrived by mail. 

 

I guess it's just a waiting game now until I receive my NOA2.......

[Lorna&Alex 104]

Hey guys

 

Has everyone else got quite a long 'predicted' waiting time for their NOA2? we received our hard copy of NOA1 on July 24th/25th but VJ is predicting that we won't get NOA2 until november 28th-December 4th...seems like a longgggg wait!! between 4 and 5 months to be exact! Is everyone else pretty much the same?
