I-130 for spouse (Worried)

[Dem1 0]

I submitted my I-130 for my husband in July 2017. USCIS cashed my check in August but i have not hear back from them since Last year 2017.  No receipt from USCIS yet. Its been almost 8month of waiting without a receipt number. 

 

Does anyone have same situation ?

Are you a US citizen or green card holder?

This is posted in the K-1 visa section for a fiance/fiancee. I can move it to the correct forum once I know the answer.

 

What service center if the petition at?

 

If you never got the receipt notice, call USCIS and request it again & verify the address. That takes a few to several weeks or so at most.

 

That said, 8 months isn't uncommon even for a US citizen petitioner with certain service centers.

It's unusual not to have a receipt number after 8 months. You should try contacting uscis.

The first thing we need to know is if you are a USC or a PR?

If you did not get any correspondence from USCIS after more than 1,5 years, why would you not have contacted USCIS?

Also, if you're as USC you're SEVERELY outside normal processing times (about 1 year) with every SC, so you'd be able to request an inquiry.

 

Please let us know if your USC or LPR and which SC you filed.

Please tomorrow call USCIS and get your receipt#. Why haven't you call?

You need to be proactive with your case and start making some calls. 8 months is too long to not have received your NOA1 receipt.

I called them and they told me that the NOA was returned due to error on the address. They were able to give me the receipt number though. 

I tracked it states

Awesome, atleast now you know there is progress. Make sure you register an account and add your case so you can follow the process. Also you can turn on email and/or text so you will receive E-notification. Hope everything works out and your not delayed that long. Take care.
