On actual mail that came from USCIS it says it’s from Potomac Service Center. So I assume that’s the service center that’s processing our application?

Hi! Thank you for your reply. My husband applied online and when we received NOA1 letter, it doesn’t say which service center it came from. How would we see which visa center our application went to? I’m in Japan but last year when I saw someone’s time line on blog, she got NOA 2 within like 6months so I didn’t think time period between NOA1 & NOA2 be so long. Do you think it changes recently that takes longer than before?

My husband and I applied CR1 in May 2023, we received NOA 1 on the same month but 148 days later, there’s no other updates from USCIS. How long does it usually take to receive NOA2? And anyone applied the same visa on the same month as us?

Thank you for the reply! I have additional questions for the people who already been to the interview at embassy. when you upload the passport style picture online, do you need to bring the same picture to the interview? Or are you able to take a new photo?

Can someone please answer my question? when uploading the 2 x 2 photos of you and your spouse, the requirement says to write your name and A-number. But if y’all both don’t have A-number just writing your name is ok?

I see! Thank you sooo much for answering my questions. I appreciate you.

When I looked up USCIS website, I came across this information, but when you apply online, you do not need this form..?

I see… We are trying to use credit card next time we resubmit our application. Do we need to add G-1450?

Yea my husband said the same thing but on app they said they mail us the details for reapply CR1. I just wonder what we needed. did you pay via credit card? If so, did you fill out G-1450 and scanned it and submitted with your I-130?

We applied ONLINE and we just filled out bank information there and submitted. He used American bank information.

If there’s anyone who went through the same issues please help! my husband and I applied CR1 online later September 2022. He paid via bank account because there’s two options for payment which were: credit card OR through your bank account. We picked bank account and he did put his bank info such as routing # etc. We have received our receipt number but apparently they did not take money out and now our case tracker said “case was rejected because your payment failed.” If there’s anyone who paid through bank account, let me know how does the process usually go? Also after the case was rejected I noticed that if you pay via credit card you have to submit G-1450, correct? But I didn’t know that so we just chose payment via bank account and never submitted any documents regarding to payment. Do you think that’s the issue here? Please help me out if you know any info regarding this. Thank you!!

Our document says “receipt number” instead of “receipt notice” but is this the NOA1 ?

So that receipt notice under document tab is what y’all called “NOA1”?? I edited the timeline but I’m still figuring out how to use this website because this is my first time using it. Did you or your spouse receive mailed NOA1 yet?

Dashinka, thank you for your response! so do you consider our current status is past NOA1 phase (that says “case was received and a receipt notice was sent”) ? also how long does it take to receive actual mailed NOA1 ? I came across some tweets and blog posts that says they received actual mail within couple weeks so I’m kind of worried.

Sooo my husband and I applied I-130 online on September 29th 2022, and we received the receipt number the same day. The USCIS case tracker says “case was received and a receipt notice was sent”. However, we still haven’t received any actual mail from USCIS or we haven’t find out which NVC our application goes. When I researched online a lot of people mentioned that they got NOA 1 a day after or couple days after applying for this CR-1 visa. I was honestly confused about what NOA1 is. Does NOA1 include of knowing which NVC your visa application go through? I really want to know because we haven’t received any type of further info but our status says “case was received and a receipt notice was sent”.
