Thanks for the information I appreciate.

Today I received my paper copy of my Form I-797C Notice of Action and my payment receipt. My priority date is 12/13/19 and my petition is being handled in Texas which is where I mailed the I-130 and I-130a. I also created my online account. Hope everyone is doing well!

FINALLY! A RECEIPT NUMBER!! 😝
 
Got the text today and noticed check was cashed as well. An IOE number. Now expecting my I-797 anytime soon.
 
I am just relieved to receive some contact from the black hole ... 🙊 😁

there you go! 🥳

It can take a week or two to get NOA1 from USCIS, don't worry. If it takes more than a month, contact them, though I'm sure that you'll get your NOA1 soon
All receipts are IOE receipts as of around June-August since they switched to online/computer rather than paper processing for newly submitted petitions, once you get your physical NOA1 letter you should be able to see what service center your petition was assigned to

Think positive - yours will be next!
I have not received my NOA in the mail, I only saw the copy of the letter posted online today. Add this to your wait time and you'll have NOA1 by next week
 

I did not see a new thread yet for November 2019, so I guess I will start it! 😁
 
I actually have NOT filed my I-130 yet 😩 but I am committed to doing so by November 15, 2019! That is my personal deadline! We have been married almost a year and due to some laziness on both our parts we haven't moved on this but we have made so much progress with it now it makes sense NOT to put it off any longer. 
 
So WELCOME all other Nov 2019 brethren! I need your support to get this DONE! 🖐️

My I-130 was delivered today (11/14) to the Phoenix lockbox, now eagerly awaiting notification from USCIS that it was actually received. I’m paranoid until it gets into their hands!! 😫

Hello all!  We mailed our I-130 last week, received and signed for by USCIS Dallas on 11/9.  

Hi everyone, 
 
We filed the I-130 on November 9th through the mail. USPS tracking told me it arrived on November 12th. I wish I had known about online filing, but I guess I was too preoccupied with gathering all of the correct information to send. Hopefully it will get accepted soon. Good luck everyone!

I just found out about the online petitions! I filed on 11/04 so it's too late for me. Plus I did a concurrent filing with i-485 so I wouldn't be able to file online anyhow.
Good luck with your online petition. Hopefully it's faster.

Yay, more people! Good luck to everyone's filing!
 
And by the way, I have MET my deadline!! The I-130 petition will be in the mail TODAY!! 🎉🎉🎉😍

Hello @Paco415! I'm in the same boat right along with you! I'm actually filling planning on submitting our petition online on Nov 22.... I need some clarity on a few of the questions online and after that, I'll be good to go on the 22nd! Good luck to you and I hope that you meet your deadline. 

Could it be possible I am the only Nov 2019 filer? 😁 LOL! Just keeping the thread alive here! I am about 4 days away from mailing the whole thing out! Waiting on one affidavit and some information to complete my spouse's I-130A and will FINALLY be done!

Talk to your HR department about your particular health insurance.   Every employer is different. 

I'm currently en route to Brazil to be with my husband, and this time, to bring him to the US with me.  It has been a very emotional two-year journey since we first met online, met in person multiple times, got engaged, later got married in Brazil, and filed for a CR-1 visa.  We were lucky and our CR-1 process only took 11 months.  Now he has his CR-1 visa and is making final arrangements to make this very big change in his life, leaving the job that he loves and all of his friends and family in the city where he has lived all of his life, to move to California so that we can finally live together and wake up next to each other every day.  This will be my 10th trip to be with him and my head and my heart are filled with all kinds of emotions as I sit in airports and deal with flight cancellations and make this long 30+ hour trip to be with him again.  Some of our friends and family think we are both crazy for doing this, but they don't understand the power of true love to transform and change everything, the very trajectory of our lives.  I'm posting this because I think sometimes we feel very alone in this journey, being so far away from the one person we love more than anything or anyone in this world.  Sometimes we have doubts or fears too, if it is really all worth it.  But in the end we do this for love, and to be with our husband or wife and hope that it all works out in the end.  I'm sharing this with the VJ community because I think many of you understand, you may have these same emotional feelings, you're not alone!  Hang in there, it will be worth all the time, money, patience, and pain of being apart, because soon you will be together and your love can continue to grow and flourish.  Sometimes we get so caught up in the long bureaucratic hassles of dealing with US immigration that we forget about the bottom line for many of us--the incredible power of love!  Good luck to you all in your journeys!

You're anxious after 2 weeks? Mehn, you just dey start o. This process is measured in months and years, not days and weeks.

The online form has some "kinks" in it, so I am reluctant to use it right now and this is the month I am filing as well. For instance, the form requires you to put an end date in the question that asks you about your current marriage. Obviously there is no end date but it doesn't let you do otherwise! I will stick to the paper one for now.
