I will be flying to Thailand on May 22 to visit my fiancee. I will be sending my package on the next day via FedEx to CSC. Hope we get through this process within the normal time frames. Hope we have no problems. All we have is hope. Good luck to us all.

I am sad to say I'm a May filer now. I had mailed my packet April 12th, 2007 but apparently it got misplaced or something, wasn't "officially" received and case created until May 1, 2007. I live in Michigan, it does NOT take 20 days for mail to go from MI to Nebraska! (and was subsequently moved to the California office)

Sorry, I'm just very annoyed by this. As I'm sure you all know, every day without your fiance(e) is not fun, and knowing I'm two weeks behind where I should be in line really bugs me.

Again, sorry, I'm usually not this pessimistic and crabby, but I'm mad!

Adam and I are hoping for him to be in the US on his visa by November or December. His birthday is in November, and of course Christmas/holidays are in December, so it would be nice to be together then. 6 or 7 months? Hmmm... It'll be fun once this is all over to check back in on this post and see if we met our goal.

Can we make sure we keep this thread updated with any actions taken on our cases? I know most people put it in their signature too, but it'll probably be easier to keep checking this thread to see if we're all progressing 'normally'.

Here's to all of us sailing through as quickly as possible! Nice to know we've got a strong, helpful community here to help us all through this trying process!

Same boat here Michele, but I gotta tell you I'm envious! At least they cashed your check and you're on your way! I mailed my I-129F to Nebraska on April 18th. It was received on April 24th and since then not a word. Read somewhere here that Nebraska forwards all their I-129Fs to CSC so maybe my petition is lying in some pile over there? I don't know. *sigh* I am visualizing that scene in Raiders of the Lost Ark, that huge warehouse piled high with crates? Yeah except I am seeing crates filled with 'petitions.

No need to apologize for 'venting' that's what this place is all about.

I hope things move more speedily for you from this point on.

Haha, I have no doubt that's exactly what the storage is like!

Yeah, I think Nebraska is sending everything to California (so actually, should I change my timeline info from Nebraska to Cali? Hmmm...)

Well, let's see, they cashed my check...23 or 24 days after I mailed the package, so I would think about calling USCIS soon if they still haven't cashed the check around that time frame. I ended up calling them yesterday because it was two days shy of a month from me sending it, and no word, and they were very helpful. They did ask if my check had been cashed (which it had at that point but did not have the WAC# like it seems it should have). They asked for my name, date of birth, type of petition, when mailed and where, blah blah, questions you should be able to answer easily, and were able to give me my receipt number over the phone. From there, I registered for case status updates, that's how I could tell my case was received May 1st. The person I spoke with told me that as well. My NOA1 was supposedly mailed May 1st as well, but I have yet to receive it.

I don't think there's any harm in calling. You know your package was received, I hear they assign your number, cash your check, and send your NOA1 pretty much immediately upon arrival. I myself work for the government, (enforcing domestic court orders - i.e. divorce files, we have 50,000 open files right now) so I can definitely say it's not unheard of for things to be received and then never be seen again. Sometimes things get accidently put in someone else's file or accidently marked as resolved even though it wasn't, etc. Human errors happen. Hopefully it's not the case for you, but I say better safe than sorry.

Keep us informed of your progress!

I just got all off my documents together so I will be making a visit to the post office on Monday.

Yay for May filers !!!!!

Mine went out May 9th! Signed for in Vermont May 11th. let's keep eachother updated on timing, yayy

Ours was received by Nebraska on 25th April and we are still waiting for an NOA1.

I mailed ours on 04/27. a delivery notice was left on 04/28. It was redelivered and received by NSC 04/30. Hopefully, it should have been received by CSC now. However, check hasn't cleared my account yet. Hopefully, the check will be cashed next week and the waiting game can start.

Thanks Michele, think I wil give them a call to find out what's going on this week. Hopefully they will find mine buried someplace. Best of luck to you...
