service request before 5 months

[Ltapia 0]

Hello, I would like to know if someone has been in the same situation… I called uscis this morning to check the status of my petition ( I received my NOA1 on march 3rd , I know its been less that 5 months but I call them every month just to see if there is different information that the shown in the uscis website), she asked me when was the last time I called so I told her one month ago, and she read the same information that I can see in the website, then she asked me when I received my NOTICE OF ACTION ( At that moment I though she was referring to my NOA 1 but then I though she might be asking me about NOA2 because she also asked me if I received a biometrics appointment) so I told her that I haven’t and she asked me again when was the last time I call, and then she said: “since more that 30 days have passed I will go ahead and put a services request for you” and she did it!!! She gave me my service request number and told me to call in 30 days, but now I am worried because according to all the posts that I have been reading in here you can not get a service requests before the 5 months, but why she was able to do that? And when they go ahead and check on my petition they will see that I have been waiting only for 3 months, can they think something bad about this? Anyone ??? Please help !!! let me know what you think about this! I don’t want to be “punish” for this I did not ask for a service request I just wanted to know the status of my case and I just got confused!!!!!!!! HELP

My experince is: Its takes a bit of trickory to get a USCIS person live on the phone. They keep a record of everytime you call. Sounds like you had a New USCIS Representitive on the phone and was totally confused.

The USCIS Website is really never updated so we fell tempted to call and that is Normal what we will do.

The Error will show but it is Not your Fault (You did not ask for an Expedite) If in fact the Representitive gave you a Service Request # go with it, however, the USCIS Employee will be subject to repremand when you persist the case.

Will you be punished? No, but, be aware they will look at the case more closely even though there is nothing to worry about.

So. Stop Calling every month and give it time. A service request is when 6 months and 1 day has passed. (Though members will differ on opinions about that so it is not solid Gold)

That Service Request will be looked at and frowned upon by their own Department and not your Fault.

Just wait. If you try and push this Request then, you take your chances. Wish you the best

I agree with you. We didnt call one single time and got approved in less than 4 months. Other people who have called and called have been put on hold. It might be a coincidence, but I, as Tim, think you should wait
