A17: Usually, it takes about one week or so for you to recieve your NOA1. However, in some cases, NOA1 takes longer then another. If you have not recieve your NOA1 one month after you file in your application, you can then contact CIS. If you paid with check, you can check with it to see whether it is cleared or not to predicet your NOA1 date.
