Ywlim, Try calling USCIS service center at 1 800 375 5283. One of the menu options is 'lost receipt' - go for it. Once you get to speak to a human being, mention that you applied for the I-612 and have received a fav. rec. from DoS more than 60 days ago. They will ask your first and last name...

Hi, this is my timeline: 2010 19/March - Docs mailed in by USPS express mail 22/March - Docs received 26/March - NOS sent by Embassy 02/April - Copy of NOS received in the mail 16/April - Case status updated online (all documents + fee received EXCEPT NOS) 13/May - Embassy resent NOS...

Hi i-w, ok, this is what happened: I called USCIS and the officer told me USCIS would not mail anything abroad. So I changed my mailing address to an US address. In the mean time, I received the receipt notice in my *foreing* address (so apparently these officers don't know that it is...

Hello, UPDATE: I received the notice of action (receipt number) from USCIS in my FOREIGN mail today. For USCIS, I-612 is the form used for 2-year HRR cases, no matter which ground your request is based on (No Objection, IGA, Persecution, etc...). The DS-3035 becomes I612 as soon as it...

Hi shamsher, it's really hard to tell if you will or will not make it in time cus each case is different. DoS says that after all your documents show up online, including NOS, their processing time can take up to 6-8 weeks. Many cases are much faster than that though while others are slower. I...

Hey docnavnow, have you found your receipt number? any updates on your case?

Thank you tux78, I will do that.

Hi indian-waiver, yes, I agree it's nerve racking to read others' misfortunes. I think these misroutes are not standard though. Anyway, I really believe that it shouldn't be a problem, since we are able to enter non-US current and mailing addresses in the form DS3035. Good to hear that the...

Hi! Can anybody help me with the question above? Just an idea on how long will the whole H1B process take when University is the sponsor?

I don't see why not, since waiver applicants do not necessarily have to be in the US by the time they apply.

Hi all, I'd like to know if anybody could give me an idea on processing times of H1B Visa. I am quite new to this forum. Here is my situation: I just finished my PhD and will start a post-doc at an American university, so they will request a H1B visa in order to hire me as a post-doc (I am...

Hi all, I'm still waiting for my case status to be updated. NOS was sent twice, and still no sign of it on the online database. I can't understand that, my Embassy sent the NOS right away and on the second time I double checked to make sure that they sent it to the EXACT address provided by DoS...

those are personal documents: copy of the biopage of your passport, copy of all your DS2019, etc. You'll get a list of the basic documents along with the pdf file mentioned by pk_net. If DoS need any extra documentation, they will get in touch with you. All instructions are detailed on the pdf...

Either way, at the same time or having the docs + fee sent first and then request NOL. Your home country embassy is responsible for sending the NOL directly to DoS, so it will also depend on the Embassy's processing time to prepare and mail the NOL. They might ask you a few letters and...

Hi all, I had my NOS resent to DoS because the first one was lost or something, never showed up on the system. So my embassy sent another one yesterday (13/05). Did anybody have to do this as well? if so, how much time did it take for you to see it online, after you resent it? Thanks!
