PLS CAN SOMEONE TELL ME WHAT DOES THAT MEAN

[yahya_marie 5]

we got our frist NOA1 today and when we tried to put it in the uscis system it says our reciept number does not exists yet what does this mean it does not exists? does anybody know how long it takes for them to put it into the system to see your status?

Sometimes takes a while for the system to update. But since you just got the NOA1 today - that's a pretty accurate status - can't imagine your case status would change much in the time it took to generate and mail the NOA1.

I tried looking at the uscis website almost every day just to find that phrase "does not

exist" but don't mind that is just uscis does not update the web page that often, if at

all. I only got a different message the day we were approved.

Good luck and God bless,

The first time I entered my reciept number it also said that it didn't exist. I got my fiance to reread it to me and I had missed a number. Theres no harm in calling the USCIS and asking why your receipt number isn't working, but before you do that make sure that you have entered it correctly.

I wouldn't be concerned about the status of your petition given that you did in fact receive the NOA1.

edit:

I noticed you don't have a service center listed, if you filed at a local office you will may not be able to view case status online per USCIS website.

Note: Case Status is available for Applications and Petitions which were filed at USCIS Service Centers. If you filed at a USCIS Local Office, your case status may not be reviewable online.

Good Luck!
