*sighs* I'm still without any word, and I sent mine sept 4th, coure, I didn't think of a tracking number, so the only proof that I sent it then is now the petitio itself. I'm just assuming its lost, so I sent in another one.... so now I guess I'll follow the early january group. If they some how "find" mine then great!!! but I'm not going to try waiting another month or so only to find its hopless. I suggest to those of you who are waaay behind, to maybe try sending in yours again, just to be safe. *shrugs* the worst that can happen is you are getting in line now, rather than later, best case senario they will find our misplaced petitons today!!!! *sighs*


Hang in there FruitBodyWash, there is a post today about a person who filed on Sept. 6th and just today got NOA1!

Hey guys! Our check was cleared today, which means we are going to get our NOA1 in a mail soon. We originally sent our petition on October 1st but had to send more papers on October 15th and NSC got it on October 22nd. So I guess we are late October filer. Which also means that early November filers will catch up next week or so. So Roza, jus a little more wait for you. Zorro, I don't know what to say.... sigh

SusieK, yes of course we sent our marriage sertificate, we married in the US two years ago so that should've been very straight forward. Most important thing is we are not lost in USCIS cyber space.

Hi Evgeniya - in your timeline you say you were asked for additional paperwork quite quickly after you filed - was there something in particular missing? - at least you know they got your form in the first place if they noticed something missing. Perhaps that slowed it down for some reason when they got sent on to the Chicago place - you might have been bumped back to a later box in whatever system they use and so your NOA1 is a little later than other Oct filers? Just speculating about that of course - still not sure how they work the receipting system when we have people from Aug and Sept still without NOA1s but some people from Oct have them. unsure.gif




Hi Isma. They asked for more letters from our friends to prove bonefide marriage. We sent them on Oct. 15th and they got it on Oct. 22nd. You might be right it could slow down the process. I just worry nevertheless. And thank you for the good point, since they have asked for more letters it means they did recieve our petition. Good luck to everybody who filed in August, September, October and November (LUCKY US!!!!!)


That's really interesting that they asked you immediately for letters to prove bonefide marriage - there's been lots of speculation on these boards what people should send when they live in separate countries to prove their marriage. Had you sent anything else in the original application apart from your marriage cert? Photos, etc. Did they ask for a specific number of letters?

We sent 3 letters from friends/family, some wedding photos and proof of flights to see each other over the last three years. But we were just guessing really what they might want.



With our petition we didn't send any letters at first or pics. When they asked for letters from our friends vouching for our marriage, my husband sent I think 10 of them and information about our joint bank account in the US and wedding pics. I think that is all. They didn't signify a number of letters.

I can't wait to hear about someone from October who has had their NOA1 - especially someone who filed originally to Vermont as I think those are coming through still a bit behind those filed originally to CSC. Probably because when they all went to Chicago Vermont was a month behind California.

Who is going to be the first October filer with an NOA1!


Met too, very much so. We filed originally on Oct. 1st, but were asked for more stuff, so the date Nebraska got it all would probably be Oct. 17th???? Anyway. I am so stressed out and frustrated with a process that have a problem falling asleep lately. We are trying to decide whether my hubby should come see me this summer. I have still hope that we are be done with the immigration process by October 2008.

Hi,

I've mailed my I-130 to Nebraska on 11/8/2007 and received by the office on 11/13/2007. As of today, I have not received any receipt notice and my check has not yet cashed. My husand and I are very anxious and worry. I don't know how much longer it would take for them to at least look at our application. Does anyone know that since Nebraska says all form are processing current at their location, does this mean that they are not delay?



I just replied to this in previous posts to nepali guy. I will just cut and past. THe short answer is - Nebraska doesnt' process I-130s though you had to file there. So don't even look at its timeline.


We have filed in October to Nebraska and we still have nothing. Everybody who filed to Nebraska used to get their petitions transfered to California bz NCS doesn't process I-130s. Because of the millions of petitions filed past July everybody who filed after August 30 in California STILL don't have a NOA1. Latest news are that all petitions filed after August 30 to CSC and July somth to VSC are shipped to Chicago for data entry. So Hopefully in January all of us will hear smth. Look at the August/September I-130 forum and you will learn more. Sorry for breaking bad news to you.

Oh my god. mad.gif ......I feel for you hun......Not happy with anything going on anymore with this screwed up system. Was the airline ticket in the name of the your passport? My passport does not match any of my current docs but never had a problem traveling since I just had the ticket issued in the passport name.

I have to renew mine but dont want to change any names since it will require more paperwork and I am afraid that I will be issued a passport in the name of Jerry Springer or god knows whom - the way our government is screwing up left and right I dont trust anything they do anymore

I am sorry to hear this. Sends hugs from afar. and signsxxxxxx.


The tickets matched my passport. It the custom officer who just felt like screwing up smb's life at that particular moment. I went to find out how I can get my passport exhanged yesterday. They have not issued a single passports since October. So chances I get mine soon are zero. Russian plus American bureaucracy equals a NIGHTMARE.

Hello everybody,

We also filed in November. My wife (a USC) mailed I-130 and G-325s to Nebraska Service Center on November 13th. It was received on the 15th according to USPS tracker. But we have heard nothing from USCIS yet.

My wife is from Minnesota. That is why she mailed the petition to Nebraska Service Center. But we have started to panic now! Even the USCIS website does not have processing time up for I130s that are sent to NSC. Can somebody please help me by explaining about WHAT HAPPENS TO THE I-130 MAILED TO NEBRASKA SERVICE CENTER? Your responses would be highly appreciated.
Thanks a lot in advance.

So, We have been screwed up again. I was supposed to fly to Thailand yesterday to meet my husband in Bangkok. We were going to fly to Phuket for Christmas. Well, I used my passport which was still on my maiden name and the customer officer didn't let me to board the plane. My husband is already in Bangkok and in process of canceling everything we have planned to do and change his tickets to go back to the U.S.
He can't get a Russian visa in Thailand because according to new immigration laws, you can no longer apply for a Russian visa in country you don't reside.

The word of the day - Despondent.

Dear Evgeniya
, Would you mind if I ask why you were required to 2 year away. I didnot undertsand this point as your time line shows "08/27/2006 Left for Russia to fullfill 2 year stay home requirement"



I participated in a State Department program. And so I was on J-1 student visa in the U.S. This student visa requires to come back to a home country for 2 years before you can change your status to anything else. My two years are almost up now.

That is Encouraging!!! On a brighter note, I am going to Thailand to meet my hubby there for Christmas!!! We haven't seen each other for four months. It is one of few countries where we both can go without getting a visa plus it has nice beaches. What is everybody doing for Christmas?

Welcome to the Club, Knittygurl!

Soon your frustration will grow into anger and than into acceptance. We are all in the same boat here. I have a strong hope that in January we'll get our NOA1. I am going to drink for that on New Year's Day!

Happy Holidays to everybody!

I kick myself in a butt that we didn't file earlier. I couldn't come back before August 2008 anyway so we tried to time it right. We had a whole year. I was so sure that it won't take longer than a year and that is why we started putting papers in Septemeber and sent in application on October 1st. I regret it so much now. Also I wish I could find this forum earlier and found out more about the process beforehand. A lot of people tried to convince us that we couldn't file before my 2 year home requirement wasn't over. Imagine if I didn't finally figure it out and filed papers next summer? So I quess we should be happy. My big comfort is that it will have to end one day and I will see my hubby again at Denver airport and we won't have to separate ever and ever again. Because everytime we do it is heartbreaking.

The only thing I do feel it is unfair that K-1 petitions are being processed as usual and N-400 are given a priority. And I am sorry for the folks who filed to VSC in August and are still waiting, it must be a torture.

I would like to start this thread for those who filed I-130 in October and November. We sent our I-130 on October 1st still didn't get NOA. With all this processing time delays published by USCIS it seems like it is going to take a long long very long time for us to get NOA.



Don't be hopeless.. Check out my timeline..

I sent my I-130 on 5-19-07 to the Vermont Office
Notice of Receipt was on 5-21-07
Notice of Approval was on 6-7-07

I didn't request no Expedite service.. I also I sent my application via Priority Mail only..

Today I just got my IV Fee Bill of $380.. After paying this, I am going to be on my last step which is the DS230..


You got very lucky what can I say! We are not lucky at all. USCIS stopped processing I-130 it seems like for a while. My husband called California Center they said it is going to take them 15 weeks before they issue NOA1. Very much looking forward to it! I just decided to look for a new job in Russia, since it seems like it is going to take some time before I get my interview. I hate to be pessimistic here, but it is not looking good at all so far with processing delays.

I am just worried that it is going to take so long. I had to go home for two years bz of the J-1 visa and my husband stayed int he U.S. We are separated for 15 months now. And I just hope that I will get an interview in August 2008 when I no longer have to stay here.

Congratulations to Marlita and Claudia!
Question to all: Can we or can we not pay a IV bill online? My DS-3032 was accepted today, if we can pay online can we do it right now?
