Hey all,

 

My fiance and I submitted our AOS package last week, and they received it on Thursday (the 28th). When should I expect to hear back with the NOA? His K1 visa expires on April 20th, and I am just a nervous nelly.

You are married, correct?  I would just keep proof of having mailed the I-485.  No real need to worry at this point, imo.  Good luck.

Noa1 can take up to 30 days from when the shipment was received not sent before you are eligible to place an email enquiry to the Lockbox.

Your proof of filing is your shipping receipt. 

The K1 visa expires the moment you use it to enter the US.

Please join your AOS filing month thread.

Thank you both for your help. We do have our confirmation of shipment both online and physical. I was just worried about NOA coming before the 90 days were over. Do I need to do anything with that confirmation, or is it more just for my peace of mind. I assume the 30 days will also be whenever they take the payment through the G-1450 as well then.

I just with our K1 visa had it go through almost two days later, so I was a bit anxious that it hasn't came back yet.

The immigrant should carry the shipping receipt and passport as "proof of status" until they get Noa1.

Then they should carry passport and Noa1.

Noa1 is the paper receipt notice that comes in the mail. 

Noa1 is not the text and/or email received when one submits G1145 nor is it any status notification on any USCIS website notifying the account holder of updates.

 

Noa1 is on paper and comes in the mail.
