Any NOA1's after 25th March already online on USCIS site?

Hi all

Firstly, I know the wait to get my NOA2 is a long way away... no denying that, but I'd still like to have access to see if my application has been "Touched" in the meantime.

My i-130 was sent in mid March. NOA1 date of 24th March, Email notification received 30th March, and hardcopy letter i-797 received 11th April (filing from abroad so long mail times).

On the email notification they say you can view your case online after 7-10 days but recommend waiting til your hardcopy arrives.... which I patiently did. It's now been 29 days since my NOA1 and the receipt number is still not online. Through some random searching I've discovered that others from the same NOA1 date are, and have even confirmed one from 25th March (day after mine) is online. Has anyone else who's NOA1 date is stated as after 25th March been able to access theirs online, or are they just that behind on admin?!

(I've tried calling USCIS and actually got a real person... but unfortunately I'm the beneficiary so they can't tell me anything, so we'll have to get my husband to try again sometime when we're able to match up intl timezones with USCIS)

Moved from IR-1/CR-1 Process & Procedures to USCIS Service Centers forum; topic is about the case status feature of the USCIS website.

I also mailed to the Chicago lockbox and was routed to the Nebraska center. My NOA1 hard copy arrived this past Monday, 4/18/16. I wasn't able to view it online either for a day or so, the site gave an error requesting a valid receipt number. I checked back a few times and the next day it did pull up without a problem.

I'd definitely ask him to call on Monday, but I'm sure all is okay. At least this gives you an excuse to call them and get an update!

Hi smith. If you have an android phone go to the playstore and download the USCIS APP then try that but good luck with the rest of your journey

I've downloaded that app on my iPhone but unfortunately the data feed comes from the uscis site so still means I'm invisible. It did however allow me to search a range of receipt numbers and I've learnt some staggering statistics about how many they receipted with LIN numbers that day alone! I suddenly have more respect for why it takes so long for NOA2.

I did also find a range of 46 consecutive receipt numbers including my own which appear to have just not been entered, so at least I know it's not just me. Will be trying to call again next week.
