No NOA1 after 3 weeks

[Mr.So 56]

Hello all,

 

I sent my I-129F with a G-1145 form to the Dallas Lockbox. It has been 3 weeks after delivered and I have not received my NOA1 yet. I also confirmed that the money order has not been cashed yet. What is the usual wait time? What should I do at this point? I would appreciate any advice/feedback.

When did you mail it off? Also it can take up to 30 days for them to cash the check and send out the NOA1. Not to mention that last week was Thanksgiving and it was a holiday and most federal workers don't work the day after either.

Hi Cyberx1024,

 

Thank you for your reply. My application was delivered on November, 13 2019. However, in the UPS delivery note, it says "Left At Dock" and "Received By ROBINSON". So I'm not sure if it was left out side or someone received my application.

It says "Left at Dock" because they pick up the all the packages at one time for that day. So once they pick it up from there they have to bring it back and sort it out to people. I would relax because at most it has been sitting in the facility for 13 working days right now. So you still have plenty of time.

I'm not sure what the process is. I used FedEx and it was delivered to Lewisville on 11/29 and my check was cashed today 12/5. I haven't received an email confirmation yet through. I did include the G-1145 form. Hopefully, you hear something soon. 

 

Good luck.

At this point I'm so tempting to refund my money order and resend my application 😣

You’ve just begun the waiting. As others said relax. You’ve got to be patient with the process or you’ll drive yourself crazy

This posting is so true!

Although they're normally somewhat quicker, your NOA1 isn't officially late until it's been 30 days (really late NOA1s seem more common at the Chicago lockbox for AOS than the Dallas for the petition, but it's happened at both).

 

After that, you can contact lockbox support at LockboxSupport@uscis.dhs.gov if you still haven't heard anything.

I'd wait a bit longer. Imagine cancelling your money order and then they try and process your application and then deny it because the money order has been cancelled. That would have been a waste of time.

Don't rely on the text/email by the way - I filled out G-1145 and didn't receive any e-notification, just the mailed NOA1 about two weeks later.

Thank you everyone for all of the helpful and comforting comments😊. 

 

I got my NOA1 today around afternoon  via a text message 😁.

Hi,

 

I was looking into old posts to see if anyone had the same wait till NOA1, and I found your post. Out of curiosity, how long did it take you to get your NOA1? I'm still waiting on mine, it's been 3 weeks..
