Need your help!!!! Please

[midnightblue 3]

Please someone help me!!!!!! I am freaking out. I sent in the I -751. UPS confirmed it was received on 9/7/17 but I haven't received a NOA1. And its 9/22/17. I know I sent in everything and signed the form!!!. I don't even know who to call. I sent in a cashiers check from our Bank of America account. I have no idea if they cashed it. I see people received their NOA 1 within 2 days. My spouse's green card is going to expire on 10/10. I can't sleep. I have no idea what to do. Do they return the whole package if something is missing??? And if so how long does it take??

If this helps calm you down a bit....your spouse's green card expiring does not mean his status as a resident expires, so don't worry too much about the expiry date.  So long as you filed the application before the expiry date (they determine this by postmark  or date of delivery, not the date they open your package), you are fine in terms of the GC expiring.

 

As far as your method of payment is concerned, you can call/visit most banks and ask them if the check has been cashed.  I assume you kept the receipt portion when you purchased it to give them pertinent info they need.

Calm down -it can take 30-45 (and even sometimes up to 60 days) to get the NOA1. 

I can swear to you no one gets it in 2 days. I have no idea where you got that idea.

I have been seeing from other people's timelines that they state NOA  at least 2 days after mail received if they filed Sept 2017. I called the bank and the check has not been cashed yet!!!!

ok well then at least now you know.  They won't send out the NOA until it's cashed, most likely.

You can start breathing now.  The average is 7-21 business.  Note that I say average.  Some are faster, some are slower.  If you have receipt of delivery, then you know it got there.

Yes, I didn't include my marriage license because I thought they already have one from my I485. They returned the whole thing a few weeks later and I had to re-send the whole thing. Overall it doesn't take longer than 3 weeks. Did you send it certified? If yes, you can check when they receive it based on the tracking #.

Yes I sent it thru UPS. I tracked it and it was received on 9/7/17. I am just praying that everything is ok. Especially, when its above to expire.
