Let's see how this goes.  I have to move within the next two weeks.  Hope the change of address form works well enough.

Hey guys how have you been? I know 2 years went by like a blip! My wife and I just filed our ROC 2 weeks ago and just now got our NOA1 today. I had colon surgery in December so we were delayed a little as our expiration date was Feb 25, 2022. We did get a 24 month extension on our case so it's all good. I forgot about the wife needing fingerprinted so I know that will come soon. Everything is moving at a snails pace so not worrying to much. Take care!! 

Been good. It has been slow this time. Our fingerprints got waived. Used the ones we did last time for this one. 

Finally got notice saying fingerprints applied to your case. 

Still waiting for biometric info.  SRC too. Hoping it comes soon.

@catnap and @efarren,

 

At least someone looked at your file....it is progress. It seems SRC and WAC service centers should be next. 

I hope SRC is soon.  Happy for everyone that got the letter.

Hello all,

I submitted my packet and it was received on the 7th and was approved on the 16th.  We just received the NOA today.  Hope it goes fast from here.

Great. you're all sorted then. Good to know this stuff. 

Yes it is good to know. But the uscis automated phone is a pain. 

Just now, Ray&Ash said:

This may be true, but this will take a long long time. They have not even started processing the ones that reached the correct address a month back. I doubt they can start sending  the forms from another state texas to arizona in time. My honest advice is to call uscis and seek their opinion on how to proceed.

I already have. They said if they have receive it by error they relocate it right away. Opening and processing are two different things. Everyone needs to calm down and let the system work. They are shorthanded due to covid like everyone else. Which is why they said they will take any form that is within 60 days after the due date as on time.

Are you sure? Not according to USCIS, the address is still the Phoenix AZ https://www.uscis.gov/i-751-direct-filing-addresses 

this is straight from the uscis website on the lockboxes.  They will relocate them if they proceed it. If not they return them and since its been 20 days and no return im guessing the relocated it. 
 

If you mailed your form to an incorrect Lockbox facility, your submission may be forwarded to the correct processing facility. However, if your form is not processed by a Lockbox facility, your package will be returned to the address provided on your forms.

Please check and confirm again. The address for i-751 form in in Arizona only, and then that office sends it to other offices as need be. Please check. You've filed for i-751 right? 

Already did.

Why you sent to Dallas?

Thats the address i had found when doing my paperwork. They will send it to the service center that it needs to be at. They go through and put everything in order and forward it on. 

Window opened in November but we submitted December 8th and it was received at dallas lockbox on the 10th. Still waiting on anything from them.

what is the first to set an appointment is it the CFO or the embassy interview?

The CFO and interview not tied together.  CFO is required to leave the Philippines by their Government.  The interview is the US.  Still have to have both done to fly out though.  We used the Clark CFO and its a walk in (first come first serve) basis on Wednesday at 2pm.  All other CFOs are appointment based.  We did interview then CFO.

OMG that is a long flight. She is going to have to have some extra TLC when she arrives. I'm sure you will support her and make her comfortable. If you don't have a rice cooker and supply of rice you BEST be get your BUTT to the store and get one home, washed and ready to go for her. My wife says most Filipino's like Jasmine style rice. I wish you all the best and happiness. Are you Jacksonville North Carolina or Jacksonville Florida?

Thank you.  I already had jasmine rice and a cooker on stand by.  It was Jacksonville, Florida, its an hour and a half drive from my house in Georgia.  But its around $500 cheaper a ticket so better then Savannah, Georgia.  Sorry for the late responds I had a lot to catch up on.😂

She made it to New York and will catch the next plane to Jacksonville.  Only a couple hours left.  😀

My fiance is finally getting on a plane now.

Hey there Doug I figured we can use our names by now right? Well anyway I just read about that China airline that lost an engine on the runway and yet thank God not one was injured so I can only imagine your fiancee is pretty stress out so I'll keep her in prayer. So when is she supposed to be flying out of Manila? Jkelsey's fiancee is still there in the airport also waiting for another flight to be scheduled to leave so keep me posted my friend. I just read that saturday morning the runway is cleared for incoming and outgoing flights so hope she is on her way today.

as of now they are letting people into the gate area.  But there has only been like three planes that have left.  They also stopped providing food and drinks to all the people that are trapped in the area with nowhere to go.

Thanks in advance.
