I sent my I129f application on May 13th certified mail with return receipt requested,
but to this date have not received anything including my return receipt. Nor has the
check been cashed. Should I be concerned or is this normal? What will the INS send to
indicate they have received the application and are processing it? Can you please
explain some of the acronyms used here like NOA?

Thanks, Ramon

Well I sent my petition to Nebraska on May 20th overnight mail with a return receipt. On May 25th they sent me a paper stating they got the petition & an estimate how many days it could take to process it & a phone number. Also a LIN# that when you call the service center you sent the petition to you punch in that number & they tell you the status of your petition. I sent a money order instead cause IMO things will go a bit faster then sending in a personal check cause that takes longer for it to clear. So that is probaly why you havent heard anything. If you dont get something soon tho you might wanna call the service center you sent the petition to & ask.

Oh NOA means Notice Of Action- the first one is what I got in the mail, when you get the 2nd one that means your petition has been approved.
