August Filers Post Here

I tried typing the case number found on the back of the cashed check online to check status but it couldn't be found (starts with MSC). Hmmm......

=========
8/20/2008 - mailed I-485 and EAD application to Chicago Lockbox
8/21/2008 - application received
8/26/2008 - check cashed
 
I have my fp appt for 09/09 with all the noas dated Aug 14 but I still cannot find the cases online. I had filed 130 earlier and found it online before I even got the noa by just looking at the no. on the check. How longest does it take to get cases showing up online?

The receipt no on my check was different from the one on receipt. I kept checking the one from check and it won't find it. Finally when I got the receipt I noticed it was off by 1.

I have opted for CP (consular processing) for my parents at New Delhi, India although they have been (and still are) in the US since May 6th, 2008 on visitor visas. I became a US citizen on may 21st, 2008 and I waited to apply until now (90+ days) so that no red flags are raised.

08/20/2008: Sent I-130s for Father and Mother
08/21/2008: I-130s received by Chicago LockBox
08/26/2008: Both checks cashed
 
Received NOAs. Where do I track the application? Can some one please provide links?

Thanks,

Just received my 1st NOA today, I am hoping to get FP notice anytime soon now.

Hi r00724 -- did you also send your I-485 with your I-130? I don't think you will do fingerprinting unless you file I-485 with the I-130. But maybe I'm wrong. Just checking.... Congrats on getting your NOA!

No, I just filed I-130 for my wife who is out of the country. Good to know, I wasnt aware about fingerprinting process. Thanks for the clarification
 
Haven't received anything yet

Hello all,
My lawyer sent all my applications on August 21, but I haven't received any NOA's or FP letters? Any ideas?
 
Just chill. It's still too early to get worried. Some pple receive them really fast. Others have to wait for 2-3 wks. It depends on I don't know what. After 4 wks of nothing, call them.
