OK here it is again.
I am UK Citizen. For 18 years I was with my ex who was a drunk and very violent. He was a freemason, and told me if I ever left him he would make sure he would find me and I would not be alive. He also told me if I went to the Police (most were freemasons in my area) that they would
not believe what he did to me, because they liked him. In April 1998 I plucked up the courage to leave him, sold my car and went to the United States on the Visa Waiver Program. At that time I had no intention of staying in the US.
When the time came for me to leave the US I was so frightened of returning to the UK I could not go into the airport.
I stayed with friends in Denver Colorado, then Lompoc California. In March 1999 my divorce was final.
In November 1998 I met Ben (US Citizen) on the internet in a games room and for the next few months we played Spades as partners and chatted a lot. By April 1999 we both realised we were in love. In November 1999 I moved in
with him. We spent 6 wonderful months together. He lost his job had to go and live with his parents and I had to return to the UK. So in May 2000 I returned to Jersey, Channel Islands (my children are here). We found out that because of my overstay I could be barred from entering the US.
He proposed to me on July 28th 2000. He came over to visit Christmas 2000, met my children (who are 30
and 32 years old and have their own wives/husbands and adore him) .
Since then he has visited every 6 months.
On July 27th this year we were married.
My husband Fed-Ex'd the I-130 to TSC on 9/3 It was delivered and signed for on 9/4.
We have NOT received the 1st NOA yet. Ben checked his bank account yesterday and they still haven't cashed the check.
Questions:
How long does it take for them to send the 1st NOA?
Have they put our Petition in trash can because of my overstay?

The overstay does not affect the I-130 in any way. All an I-130 is a determination that you have a bona fide marriage to a US citizen. But the problem arises in the visa application -- you are barred from returning to the US until May 2010 absent a waiver -- the waiver will require a showing of extreme hardship to your husband.

Re: OK here it is again.
Thank you Mr. Folinsky. So I would need a very good Immigration Lawyer for this?
