USCIS web site.

[J & L 10]

I don't check the status of our case on the USCIS web site too often, but today I did and it said this [...] we received this I130 IMMIGRANT PETITION FOR RELATIVE, FIANCE(E), OR ORPHAN and we sent an I-129F, not an I-130... also, when we gout our NOA it was up to date to June, not May and said I was given an alien registration number (or something of the sort) and now that's gone and it says we filed for an I-130.

Is this normal? How reliable is their web site?

The USCIS website has hiccups all the time.

Double check your receipt number when you type it in, though!

I think I saw a notice that they're doing maintenance on the system this weekend, mind you, so if it still comes up as that, give it til Monday and check again then.

It's so strange, I logged in again, same receipt number and now it's updated again and says [...] your Alien Registration Number was changed relating to your I129F, PETITION FOR FIANCE(E). Guess I have to get used to their web site! Is there any way I can find out my alien registration number or is it too early? I was assigned one at the start of this month.

Ah well, I was sure I sent the I-129F and got paranoid when I saw I130 before.

Thanks for the fast reply!

I don't know that you can find your A# out from the service centre, but it's not useful to you anyway.

What you'll want is your case number (starts with the 3 letter code for your local embassy i.e. mine starts LND), which is a different thing, that you'll get after approval, by calling the NVC (or waiting til your local embassy sends it in Packet 3).

I'll have some time to wait for that then! Thanks for the quick and accurate reply!
