Case number..

[Shanira 0]

Hello all.

We finally recieved our NOA1 and i am so happy!

But then we tried to look for our case online on uscis.gov, our casenumber starts with EAC then followed by 10 digits, but everytime we try it says Validation Error(s) or something, like the number do not exist and we checked it 100 times now and it is the right number we are typing.

Then i'm thinking maybe it takes a few days or something before we can track our case online?

Did this happen to anyone else before?

Thanks for your time.

I've not heard of this happening before but it seems VSC is having some glitches at the moment it seems... (cases being approved with no online status update) so perhaps it's just the online system.

I'm sure you're anxious to start tracking...I know we were. Hopefully it will be up soon.

congrats on getting started! Now pull up a chair and grab a stiff drink!

Thanks KimandRuss, yes i wanna start NOW lol

But thanks

payxibka - That sounds like loong time..

Is there anyone else who has any suggestions?

A couple weeks is nothing compared to the nearly 6 mos. you will be waiting for action on the petition.

I know that pay, but i've been waiting for my NOA1 since end of July and i really just wanna get started tracking it, I have the patience to wait for my NOA2, that would take ages, but it could be nice to view what is happening with our case online, maybe an incoming RFE, who knows

It is like watching paint dry... You will have maybe 1 or 2 "touches" (if any at all), during a 180 day period... really not much to track.

Yep, i'm aware of that. Just wondering why our number dosnt work.. But i'm happy as long as im in the system.

[payxibka 10,044]

Yep, and in 4 mos. time you will be back expressing significant levels frustration about not recording any touches... It is the natural "life" cycle of a petitioner/benneficiary.

I understand, it's like each and every step brings you that much closer (even if it really doesn't ) ... it's still good to see there.

As I said, i've not heard of this, ours was up right away, but considering the issues it seems VSC has been having with updating lately (more commonly seen with CSC in the past) that could very well be it.

As pay suggested, I woudln't really worry too much... you'll be seeing the same received and pending letter with the same )*$)(#&$& date for way too long anyway! As long as you have a number you know they cashed your check and you know it's there.

As I just posted in another thread, ours still doesn't show up online (applied and received NOA1 in July!). We were told that yes, we are in their system, and not to worry about the flaws of the online system, it has no bearing on anything. Yes, It would be nice to be able to see some evidence that we exist with USCIS, but oh well.

Hopefully yours shows up for you soon, but apparently it's not necessarily something to worry about if it doesn't.

Thanks k34 for your answer

I was reading the topics and came across this as I am in the same situation..then I saw that it was you! Shanira, we've got our NOA1 as well and tried checking online but Im getting the same error message you are. Im not worrying about it at this stage since we've got the hard copy...I'll give it a few...

I was on the USCIS website and came across this:

USCIS had an unprecedented number of applications filed over the summer. Our efforts to enter these applications into our systems have caused a delay in the transfer of information from our case control system to the Case Status Online system. We are experiencing delays of up to 3 to 4 weeks between receipting your application and its status being available www.uscis.gov. If you have additional questions after your information is available on Case Status Online, please call the National Customer Service Center at 1-800-375-5283.

So...im giving it a couple of weeks then I'll follow it up...
