Woohoo! received my NOA1 hard copy today. I know its just the beginning but still nice to see

Hi there. I too am an April filer. Sent mine off last Friday the 4th. It was signed for on the 7th but have yet to receive an email . I'm sorry you forgot your pics but I can certainly understand it. The whole process is so daunting. I didn't write N/A in the extra boxes where you put other relatives you're petitioning for. All I put was my spouse in box 1 bc he's the only one I'm applying for and I've since read that I shd have put N/A In all the extra places. I'm hoping it doesn't warrant an RFE but if it does, oh well. Frustrating, yes but what can I do.
I wish us both luck. It's going to be a long and bumpy ride!

It is certainly nice to know others are going through this with me. You feel so alone sometimes bc no one else understands what you're going through and what's all involved. I haven't received my email yet. Is that unusual? They got my pkg Monday

Well, I've just realized that I made a mistake and didn't send the passport photos with the G-325As. I needed to buy plastic bags to send them in and forgot to do so in the chaos of rushing to the FedEx office to send out the petition.
Based on some research, it's best to wait for the RFE requesting the photos instead of mailing them out now without a form. I know it's not a big deal and will only cause maybe a month delay in the processing, but it just feels so dejecting. A few months of planning and putting all the documents together in perfect order and such a basic oversight tripped me up. I was so worried about printing quality and font size... OK, I'm done feeling bad for myself.
I hope everyone has great luck!
