I put my correspondence address as an overseas address. Would this be why I have not received NOA1 after three weeks? I also filed the G-1145

Did you put your domicil address in the U.S. as well? If you did, ask your family if they have seen a letter from  USCIS, we put my fiance's parents address and his mom told us that she received NOA1 in the U.S.!

I don't know...but I hope so! I don't plan to go back before.

Well I hope so too! I know this waiting time could be such a harsh time, but hope everything works out and we get visa okay!!:)

We will be using my parents as sponsors...so I am wondering if we will be okay if I remain outside of the USA. I guess we will see. I don't plan to leave any time soon!! (Unless the process is super delayed and my visa expires before!)

Oh, so if you have a sponsor back in the U.S., you don't have to go back before your fiance gets visa?

I have never heard this....I am living in India, and filed our petition from here in July. I plan to stay until my fiance receives his visa. I guess I assumed that, because I will need a sponsor other than myself anyways (I am on a volunteer employment visa in India), it wouldn't matter if I am in India or in the USA during the whole process.

I asked a lawyer about it and he said that the sponsor will be able to proof that he/she is able to support financially during the alien fiance/fiancee is waiting for a green card, also paying tax and stuff in the U.S. (? I'm actually not sure about this part), but what he basically said was, if you are a petitioner and living abroad, you should go back to the U.S. as soon as possible. 

My fiance is still here in Japan with me though..

This is false.  I have personally filed from overseas using Fedex without issue.

Glad to hear that! That's what I thought too, I remember hearing that as long as the petitioner is back and found a stable job before the interview it doesn't really matter where you file the form from!

Thanks for your reply:)

If they already charged you then should be ok, what happened to us is that they sent text to my bf US number first and the NOA mail did not come in two weeks later. and Our check was actually being charged on the date my bf received the text. So have your finance's parents check their mailbox, it should be coming anytime soon

 

Actually, right after I read your reply my fiance told me that his mom called him to tell that she received the NOA1! That was a huge relief!! Thank you so much for your help:)

If you live in Japan, how did you send it? Because they don’t accept the petitions from overseas. You have to be in US when you send it. And they send you NOA 1 via USPS to your American address 

I'm afraid that's not true, you are able to file from overseas. 

Maybe that's why it's late I wonder? We put my fiance's parents address in the U.S., so they'll send noa1 to the address?

ours sent on July 1 and got the update on July 13th. Did you keep the tracking No? maybe you could track the file sent ?? They would send a Text first if you  put an US contact number in the file and mail NOA1 to you. NOwadays they process a little slower due to covid-19.

 

Good luck!! Hope you  could received it soon. 

According to fedex, they received it 3 days after I sent it, and they've charged the filing fee, so I'm sure they havw our application.. I'll ask my fiance to check junk mail box again just make sure we didn't miss anything! Thanks for your reply!

Maybe check and see if your check has been cashed? 

They charged the filing fee though, we haven't heard anything since then...

Hi there,

My fiance and I currently live in Japan and we've filed I-129F on Aug. 20th, and still haven't heard anything from USCIS.

Looking at people's timeline, looks like some people sent it after us but already got noa1 and that makes me really nervous.

Does this mean something went wrong?

The petitioner should get email or a mail right?
