Well, it's still illegal to get married on a tourist visa as far as i know, regardless what country you come from... so I'd rather do it the right way

I mailed on August 3, 2016. Waiting for NOA1.. Good luck to us! :)

I see your processing through the Philippines. I have a website that will walk you through step by step on the Philippines process. It's free to use. I list the steps, documents and other pertinent information so that you avoid the "gotchas" that are presented while processing. Gotchas can cost you time and or money. I help you avoid those.

Oh, really? It seems like it's averaging to around 70 days in California.

Good luck! Yes! I CANNOT WAIT! :clock:

Mailed the I-129F to Texas on Friday, Aug. 5. I asked for Signature Confirmation, which may have delayed delivery.

It was "delivered" - picked up at the Dallas Post Office - on the night of Wednesday, Aug. 10.

So the first business day that it reached the USCIS office was Aug. 11. That was 5 calendar days - but only 3 business days - ago. Hoping to receive NOA1 email today (though already 3:30PM in Texas) or tomorrow.

Twenty years ago, I adopted a baby girl from a Chinese orphanage. It took a year from the first filing through an American adoption agency until the moment my daughter was placed in my arms in China. At that time, hopeful adoptive parents of Chinese babies were completely in the dark about what was going on with the paper chase process. All we could do was wait and wait and wait - and hope. The Internet was still fairly young then and there was no group like this for sharing information and giving mutual support - so I started one. It grew from 200 to over 20,000 readers in 40 countries, with tens of thousands more in spin-off groups.

Waiting is hard. Waiting in the dark is worse. Thanks to VisaJourney and all its readers for shining a ray of light.

Check deposited yesterday. No email notification as yet. I put the G-1145 with my email address on top of the pile so I hope to receive the NOA1 soon.

I also put my cell phone number on the form, but I gather it's not common for them to text to a cell phone rather than send an email?

Hello, packet mailed to Dallas via USPS Priority w/ signature confirmation August 5. Packet was picked up the evening of August 10 and signed for. I probably should have used the Lewisville site because of the signature confirmation, it would have saved me 2 days.

NOA 1 received August 16, got the email and text.

I mailed our packet by priority and i saw on the receipt it reached Texas on August 8th. So it's been 10 days. Check hasn't been deposited and no email or text and I did include the form to get that info. So NOA1.

Should I start to worry because it appears it was far less time for many others to get one

Well I got my package back in the mail today :(

Was totally my fault, so I fixed it and mailed it back in immediately. But now i'm worried, it came with one green slip that basically said return this letter and place it on top of your package. So i did that. But there was another form that included what was missing that I kept because it didn't say on that paper to include it. But maybe they meant to include that one because the green paper really gave no info.

Now i'm concerned again. Ugh
