I-129F Sent, No Update 9 Days Later

[eharrison 0]

I sent my I-129F visa packet 3/8/2018 to the Texas Service Center, and the expected delivery date was 3/12/2018. Today is 3/21 and I haven't gotten any updates. 

Unfortunately, I did not send it 2-day priority so I do not have a tracking number but I did include the G-1145 E-Notification of Application/Petition Acceptance.

 

Should I be concerned already? I noticed most people get a NOA1 within a weeks time..

I'd give it 10-14 working days before you get too freaked out.  They have to receive it at Texas and then send it to California.

Once it gets there if they accept it they will cash the check or payment method you used. Track that.

 

Also it can take up to 30 days for NOA1; but usually 1-2 weeks.

I should mention that I did use a money order, so I really have no way of ensuring the funds have been cashed by the intended persons.

I wouldn't start stressing until end of the month really. Again it can take up to 30 business days but generally not that long.

Our package was delivered on Friday (the 16th) and the check was cashed today, so it took about 4 business days. We submitted the e-notification form but haven't received NOA1 via email yet. Apparently it takes some time so don't worry. Hopefully you will get yours soon. As others said it may take up to 30 days.

 

Good luck!

Give it until the end of the month. Then start chasing. Try to relax

I literally received the USCIS receipt text today a few hours after this post! I worried for nothing. 

 

Thanks everyone!
