Congressman says we're approved but still no NOA2

[Suzy!Q 2]

My congressman (go Joe Pitts!) has been really great in helping us so far. We requested an expedite several months ago, which was denied, but my congressman got involved in that and also wrote a letter requesting our expedite. When we didn't get that I just figured we'd have to wait it out like everyone else. Around the 4 month mark my congressman again contacted USCIS (without my knowledge) and then sent me a letter saying that our case had been assigned to an adjucator. I thought that was good news and that we would be approved any day, but now it's over a month later and there was still no news. Yesterday I emailed my congressman again, thanking him for all his help and said that we still hadn't heard anything. A few hours later he emailed me back and said he had talked to USCIS on the phone and that our case had been approved that morning. Yay! But, still no NOA2. I am really happy to hear from my congressman about the approval but I feel like I can't really celebrate anything until I have an official email or letter or something in my hand.

So how long is it going to take for them to "update" the system??? I thought for sure by the end of the day I would have gotten an email or text but nothing. Should I expect it at the end of the week? month?

Have you tried checking your Case Status in the USCIS Website... ? maybe they updated it there already,NOA2 usually comes a week after they put it in the their system....All you need is the Case Number which is indicated in your NOA1.

The USCIS "Update" System is a flawed as "Igor's List". Non Reliable for anything.

In Reality, your timeline indicates almost 6 Months and Eligible for a Service Request. However, you stated a Expedite several months ago. Why? I don't know. Non-the-less: save that email from your Congressman stating your Approved.

I have to "Giggle a-little" Without my knowledge: The Congressman got ahold of USCIS again.

Your NOA2 should arrive in the mail in 1 to less than 2 weeks.

Congrats...... And don't worry about USCIS Updates.

I check my status on the USCIS website daily (sometimes several times a day) It shows that it has not been touched since 12/31/2010 which is the day they put it into the system. It seems like they never update it....

I hope that your congressman was correct, hopefully you will receive your NOA2 in the mail shortly. Congrats!
