I know that feeling. I filed 8/30 but through Rapid Visa and they took a whole week with my file plus one day was a holiday so USCIS didn't end up giving me NOA1 until September 12 (old website) 17 (new website). I feel like that whole half a month was wasted in transition lol

We have the same NOA1 dates!  I hope we all hear good news soon!! 😊

First NOAA2 issued for September filers. Let them start coming in!

Yay!!!!! How did you see this?

How did this work out in the end? I'm struggling to figure out this whole police certificate thing, and I need one for my K1 from the UK to the US (I lived in Spain for a short time). I know where the page is in the SPanish government website, but the methods to do it online don't work and I'm not really understanding the process by mail/post. Did you get yours all sorted in the end?

The two websites are not very accurate as they don't update like they did in the past. You could try created a new account with a different email address maybe your finance's email. The only other thing is to follow the recovery mode to reset the password but I believe you have tried that. Google for an answer.

Thank you!! Creating a new account worked

Hello all! Getting so close now!!!  So, like probably many of you, I want to be checking both the new and old USCIS sites... I, however, forgot my password for the new site and tried to reset it and have not gotten the verification email that I need... I've tried about 3 different times over the past 2 days... Has anyone else had this problem?  Any advice on what I can do to log in?

Thanks so much and good luck everyone!  Can't wait to start seeing approvals here

Hello everyone!  We're all about one month in now! Yay!  Is anyone else making the trip/ fiance making the trip to the States for Thanksgiving?  My fiance is coming November 20th for the holiday.  It will be his first trip here since we filed.  I'm a little concerned because he has a layover in Philadelphia before flying to me in Boston.  So, I won't be there if he has any trouble at customs.  Has anyone had any problems at this airport?  Is there something specific he should bring to prove he is only staying for the holiday, or is his return ticket enough?  He is coming from England and will be visiting on an ESTA, if that makes any difference...?

Thanks so much!  Hope everyone's waits aren't too painful ❤️

Our petition has the exact same dates! Except mine went to the Dallas lockbox. I put my timeline as NOA1 accepted September 17th when I got the text. Not sure if that’s right either 

Awesome!! Best of luck to you !  ours was sent to Dallas originally too but in the email it said it was sent to California!

I got my letter today!! It says the receive date is September 12 but the notice date is September 17! So should I update my timeline to say that my NOA1 is 9/17? 

Thanks!

In the UK it shouldn't matter as long as his police report, which is required, shows a clean record.  My problem is that I am a USC and the Federal Crime database has EVERYTHING!  It is not publicly available but it is available to the 3 letter club (FBI, CIA, DHS, NSA...).  They keep everything!  Outside the US they just rely on the police certificates.

Thank you!!! Ok, so he'll just get the police records and he should be fine then.  Thanks for the info!

I failed to mention a 30 year old misdemeanor arrest that was dropped and later expunged.  It was my fault and partially the fault of the company we used to help with the petition.  The governments instructions were very clear.  The company we used was not as clear as they should have been.  Since there are no public records and no possibility of me getting any information, I assumed it was no longer an impediment.  The expungement ordered all records, digital and hard, to be destroyed.  There was no record that I could produce so I failed to add it to the petition.  That was my mistake and we were denied because of the petitioner failing to disclose information in the petition.

Wow!  Thanks so much for sharing.  My fiance has a misdemeanor in the UK and they also told him it was completely off his record so we were wondering if he'd need to eventually get the records for that but your story makes me think that we definitely will... What a shame that you had to wait so long to find out that it was denied for something so seemingly small... I'm so glad things are working out for you though.  Thanks again for sharing your story and helping others.  And good luck!!!

@MaryDave1992  I'm a day behind you. I sent mine out on September 11th, got the USPS notification that it was delivered very early in the morning on the 14th. I haven't received an email confirmation. I, too, paid by personal check, and the money has not yet been withdrawn. 

Keep me updated on your progress, please  and good luck!! No more news on my end...

I sent mine on the 8th as well.  They got it on the 11th.  They charged my credit card on the 12th and also sent me a text/email that day.  

How did you pay?  I sent mine out on September 10th.  USPS notified me that it was delivered on the 13th.  Still no money has been taken out.  I paid via a personal check..

Sent out our papers on Monday!

USPS said it was delivered yesterday at 4 am so not I am eagerly waiting for my text/ email with the receipt!

Good luck everyone!
